- 2/16T Worm Gear System — The rear axle features a dual worm gear configuration with a 2-tooth and 16-tooth worm gear arrangement, providing balanced torque delivery and smooth operation that is ideal for rock crawling and technical terrain navigation.
- Precision Ball Bearings — The assembly incorporates multiple precision ball bearings in two different sizes (2mm x 5mm x 2.5mm and 3mm x 6mm x 2mm), ensuring smooth rotation, minimal friction, and extended component lifespan during demanding RC adventures.

- Compatible with Multiple SCX30 Models — This rear axle fits the full range of SCX30 1/30 scale RTR rock crawlers, including the Ford Bronco variants, Chevrolet K10 variants, and Jeep Wrangler JLU variants, making it a versatile spare part solution for SCX30 owners.
Technical Performance
The AXIAL Rear Axle, Assembled: SCX30 is engineered with the same precision and attention to detail that has made Axial a trusted name in the RC rock crawling community. The dual worm gear system (2/16T configuration) provides an excellent balance between torque multiplication and rotational speed, making it particularly well-suited for navigating challenging obstacles at the low speeds typical of scale crawling. The use of two different sizes of precision ball bearings demonstrates Axial's commitment to reducing friction and wear across the drivetrain. The 2mm x 5mm x 2.5mm bearings handle specific load points where precision and compact sizing are critical, whilst the larger 3mm x 6mm x 2mm bearings are positioned to manage greater loads and provide stability during aggressive rock crawling manoeuvres. The rear axle housing and differential cover are engineered to contain lubricant effectively whilst maintaining the low-CG design philosophy that makes the SCX30 such a capable platform. The inclusion of stainless steel fasteners in both M1.0 x 0.25mm x 4mm and M1.0 x 0.25mm x 6mm button head configurations ensures that all assembly components are corrosion-resistant and will maintain their integrity even after exposure to outdoor elements during UK rock crawling expeditions. Double ball studs are included for secure and repeatable assembly, and the specific O-ring included ensures a proper seal on the worm gear assembly, preventing oil leakage and maintaining optimal gear mesh during operation.

Keeping a spare rear axle on hand means you can quickly swap out a damaged assembly and get back to crawling without extended downtime.
