Whether you own an Axial Ford Bronco, Chevrolet K10, or Jeep Wrangler JLU in the SCX30 range, this motor is engineered to provide consistent power and durability for your crawling adventures.
Brushed motors remain a popular choice in the RC hobby for their simplicity, ease of maintenance, and cost-effectiveness. The 88T configuration of this motor makes it a lower-speed, higher-torque option — perfect for the demanding terrain that rock crawlers encounter. If you're searching for a reliable brushed RC motor for your 1/30 scale crawler or looking to repair your existing SCX30, this Axial motor is the genuine OEM solution that ensures compatibility and performance matched to your vehicle's specifications.
RC Model Shop stocks this authentic Axial component as part of our comprehensive range of brushed and brushless RC motors for UK hobbyists. Whether you're a seasoned crawler pilot or new to RC crawling, having the correct replacement motor on hand is essential for keeping your rig running at peak performance.
Key Features
- 88T Brushed Motor Configuration — The 88-turn winding provides lower RPM output with increased torque, which is essential for rock crawling where controlled speed and pulling power matter more than outright velocity. This turn count is specifically matched to the gearing and performance profile of the SCX30 platform.
- Pre-Installed Wiring and Connector — The motor arrives with wire and a PH2.0 connector already soldered and installed, saving you assembly time and ensuring reliable electrical connections right out of the box. This means faster installation and less risk of cold solder joints.
- Included 11T Brass Pinion Gear — A precision-machined 0.3 mod brass pinion is included and pre-fitted, eliminating the need to source additional gearing components. The 11T pinion is specifically engineered for SCX30 compatibility and ensures smooth meshing with your vehicle's spur gear.
- OEM Axial Component — As an official Axial motor, this part is designed and tested to work seamlessly with your SCX30 rock crawler, providing exactly the performance characteristics that Axial engineers intended for these compact 1/30 scale vehicles.
- Brushed Motor Technology — Brushed motors are renowned in the RC hobby for their straightforward operation, minimal maintenance requirements, and excellent torque characteristics at lower speeds — perfect for the technical demands of rock crawling over obstacles.
Technical Performance
This 030-size brushed motor is engineered to deliver the low-end torque and controlled acceleration that makes rock crawling so rewarding. The 88-turn winding produces higher torque output compared to lower turn-count motors, which is crucial when you're navigating rocky terrain, climbing obstacles, or maintaining precise control over uneven ground. The motor's brushed design means it requires no ESC programming or electronic speed controller with brushless capabilities — it works with simpler, more affordable brushed-style electronic speed controllers. The included PH2.0 connector is the standard connector type for SCX30 systems, ensuring plug-and-play compatibility without the need for adapter cables or modifications. The brass 11T pinion gear is precision-manufactured to 0.3 mod specification, ensuring smooth engagement with the SCX30's spur gear and minimising drivetrain noise whilst maximising power transfer efficiency. Built to Axial's quality standards, this motor is constructed to withstand the demands of regular crawling use, whether on rock gardens, technical climbing courses, or backcountry terrain. The brushed design means maintenance is straightforward — occasional cleaning of the brush contacts will keep the motor running smoothly for years of RC adventures.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Is the Axial 88T motor compatible with my SCX30 rock crawler? — Yes, this motor is designed specifically for the Axial SCX30 platform and is compatible with the Ford Bronco 4X4 RTR, Chevrolet K10 4x4 RTR, and Jeep Wrangler JLU 4X4 RTR models. It is a direct replacement that matches the original motor specifications.
- What does the 88T designation mean on this motor? — The 88T refers to the number of wire turns in the motor's armature coil. Higher turn counts produce lower RPM output and higher torque, which is ideal for rock crawling where low-speed control and pulling power are more important than top speed.
- Do I need an ESC or can I use this motor directly? — This brushed motor requires a brushed electronic speed controller (ESC) to function. The SCX30 platform typically uses a brushed ESC, and this motor is designed to work with standard SCX30 ESC systems.
- Why is the brass pinion included with the motor? — The 11T brass pinion is engineered to mesh perfectly with the SCX30's spur gear. Including it ensures you have the correct gearing ratio and minimises the risk of gear damage from mis-matched components. Brass is chosen for its durability and smooth engagement characteristics.
- Is this a genuine Axial product? — Yes, this is an official Axial OEM (original equipment manufacturer) motor, designed and manufactured to Axial's specifications. RC Model Shop is an authorised retailer of genuine Axial products, guaranteeing authenticity and warranty support.
- What battery type works with this motor? — The SCX30 platform typically uses 3.7V LiPo batteries (single-cell), though your specific model's documentation will confirm the correct battery type for your vehicle. Always refer to your SCX30 manual for battery and charging recommendations.
