Key Features
- Fully Assembled Ready to Install — The entire front axle assembly arrives pre-built and ready to drop into your SCX30 chassis, eliminating the need for time-consuming component assembly and reducing the risk of incorrect installation that could compromise performance.
- Steering Links Pre-installed — Both the drag link and tie rod link come factory-installed, meaning your steering geometry is correctly configured from the moment you fit the assembly, saving valuable build time.
- 2/16T Worm Gear System — This specification delivers excellent low-speed control and impressive torque multiplication, making it ideal for technical rock crawling where precision and climbing power are essential for negotiating obstacles.
- Complete Component Package — Includes housing, differential cover, knuckles (driver and passenger side), stub axles, dogbones, precision ball bearings in two sizes, kingpin screws, ball studs, and all fasteners required for a fully functional front end assembly.
- Genuine Axial Manufacturing — As an official Axial OEM part, this assembly is manufactured to the exact specifications and quality standards of the original equipment, ensuring perfect compatibility and reliable operation with your SCX30 model.
- Compatible with Multiple SCX30 Models — This front axle assembly fits all Axial SCX30 rock crawler variants including the Ford Bronco 4X4, Chevrolet K10 4x4, and Jeep Wrangler JLU 4X4 ready to run RC models in all available colours (grey, blue, green, black, and white).
- Precision Ball Bearing Construction — Six ball bearings measuring 3mm x 6mm x 2mm and two additional 2mm x 5mm x 2.5mm bearings ensure smooth axle rotation, reduced friction, and extended component lifespan even during intensive off-road use.
Technical Performance
This Axial front axle assembly is engineered with attention to the specific demands of 1/30 scale rock crawling, where low-speed torque, articulation, and obstacle-clearing capability are paramount. The 2/16T worm gear configuration provides a substantial gear reduction that maximises climbing power whilst maintaining controllable speed, a crucial characteristic for navigating steep slopes, rock formations, and technical terrain that defines the SCX30 experience. The assembly utilises precision-ground ball bearings in two distinct sizes to optimise both load distribution and rotational efficiency across the front axle shafts and differential gears. The housing and differential cover are manufactured from robust materials designed to withstand the stresses of rock crawling without flex or deformation. The included stub axles and dogbones are engineered for durability whilst maintaining the precise tolerances required for smooth operation. Each kingpin screw is sized at M1.0 x 0.25mm with 6mm button head dimensions, ensuring secure knuckle attachment without over-tightening that could cause binding. The ball studs and double ball studs (2.5mm specification) provide reliable steering linkage connections that maintain accurate geometry under load. With all components pre-assembled and tested, this unit arrives in optimal working condition, ready for immediate installation into your SCX30 chassis.
