Overview
The AXIAL Adjustable Pan Hard Mount for the SCX10 III is an essential upgrade component designed for serious RC rock crawlers and off-road enthusiasts in the UK. This precision-engineered panhard mount is specifically developed for the Axial SCX10 III platform, one of the most respected and proven RC crawler chassis available today. The SCX10 has long been the platform of choice for scale trail enthusiasts, and with the introduction of the SCX10 III, Axial has continued to deliver the performance and realism that builders and bashers demand from their ready to run RC cars and bespoke builds alike.
What makes the Z-AXI-3003 Adjustable Pan Hard Mount particularly valuable is that it's adjustable, allowing you to fine-tune your vehicle's suspension geometry and handling characteristics. Panhard mounts play a critical role in controlling lateral axle movement and maintaining consistent suspension performance across uneven terrain. Whether you're building a custom RC crawler from scratch or upgrading an existing SCX10 III setup, this component ensures your rig maintains precise suspension alignment and stable handling on technical rock-crawling courses. The metal construction provides the durability and rigidity needed for serious off-road punishment, making this an investment in your crawler's performance and longevity.
For RC enthusiasts in the UK looking to upgrade their SCX10 III with OEM Axial parts, the Adjustable Pan Hard Mount represents the kind of thoughtful engineering that has made Axial the recognised leader in scale trail RC vehicles. This component is ideal for builders who want to dial in their suspension geometry, racers looking to optimise their setup, and anyone serious about getting the most from their RC rock crawler platform.
Key Features
- Adjustable Design — The adjustable panhard mount allows you to modify suspension geometry and handling characteristics to suit your driving style and terrain conditions, giving you precise control over how your SCX10 III behaves on the trail.

- Metal Construction — Built from quality metal materials for exceptional strength and durability, the mount resists the stress and impact of serious rock crawling and off-road abuse that lighter plastic alternatives cannot withstand.
- Lateral Axle Control — The panhard mount maintains lateral axle positioning and prevents unwanted axle movement, which is essential for maintaining consistent suspension performance and vehicle handling during technical crawling.
- Precision Engineering — Engineered with Axial's proven design standards, this component delivers the reliability and performance characteristics that serious RC crawlers expect from genuine OEM parts.
- Easy Installation — Designed as a direct replacement or upgrade component, installation is straightforward for builders familiar with SCX10 III suspension systems, making setup simple and hassle-free.
Technical Performance
The AXIAL Adjustable Pan Hard Mount represents the kind of engineering precision that underpins the SCX10 III's reputation as one of the finest RC rock crawlers available. The adjustable panhard mount functions as a critical suspension control element, governing lateral axle movement and ensuring your crawler maintains consistent geometry whether you're navigating rocky terrain, crossing obstacles, or executing tight technical sections. The metal construction provides the rigidity needed to maintain adjustment settings under load, whilst the adjustable design allows enthusiasts to experiment with different suspension geometry configurations to optimise performance. This component works in concert with the SCX10 III's multi-link solid axle suspension system, which features 6mm stainless steel links and all-metal pivot balls for durability. Whether you're running a stock SCX10 III Base Camp Builder's Kit or a highly customised crawler build, the panhard mount ensures your suspension operates with precision and control. The metal panhard mount has become such an essential upgrade in the RC crawling community that Axial now includes it as standard equipment on the SCX10 III Base Camp Builder's Kit, recognising its importance to suspension performance and vehicle handling on technical terrain.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is a panhard mount and why do I need one on my RC rock crawler? — A panhard mount is a suspension component that controls lateral axle movement, preventing your axle from shifting side to side during climbing and technical manoeuvres. This keeps your suspension geometry consistent and your vehicle handling predictable on rocky, uneven terrain. For serious RC crawlers, a quality panhard mount is essential for maintaining control and preventing suspension bind.
- Is the Z-AXI-3003 compatible with all SCX10 III models? — Yes, this adjustable panhard mount is specifically designed for the Axial SCX10 III platform and will fit SCX10 III models including the Base Camp RTR, Base Camp Builder's Kit, and other SCX10 III variants. Always verify compatibility with your specific model before ordering.
- What makes the adjustable design valuable? — The adjustable feature allows you to change the suspension geometry of your crawler to suit different terrain conditions and your personal driving style. You can experiment with different mounting positions to optimise how your vehicle handles on rocks, increase articulation, or improve stability depending on whether you're racing, bashing, or technical crawling.
- Is this an essential upgrade or optional? — Whilst Axial now includes a metal panhard mount as standard on the SCX10 III Base Camp Builder's Kit, having an adjustable version gives you greater flexibility to fine-tune your suspension setup. If you're building a custom crawler or upgrading an existing rig, an adjustable panhard mount is highly recommended for serious enthusiasts who want to optimise their suspension performance.
- Will this improve my SCX10 III's performance on rocks? — A quality panhard mount maintains your suspension's intended geometry under load, which is crucial for consistent performance on technical terrain. Upgrading to an adjustable design gives you the ability to dial in your suspension geometry precisely, which can result in improved handling, better axle control, and more predictable vehicle behaviour when crawling.
