Overview
The Killer Body Battery/ESC/Receiver Holder (KB48683) is an essential organisational component designed specifically for RC enthusiasts building scale crawler models with middle gearbox configurations. This purpose-designed holder provides a neat, professional mounting solution that keeps your battery, electronic speed controller (ESC), and receiver organised within your RC car build. Whether you're a seasoned RC car UK enthusiast or someone looking to upgrade your current setup, this holder ensures clean wiring management and secure component placement, which is critical for reliable performance during off-road adventures.
Manufactured by Killer Body, a recognised name in RC scale accessories and upgrades, this holder is specifically engineered to work with the KB#48615 cockpit assembly and the KB#48601 Toyota Land Cruiser body when installed on an Axial SCX10 II chassis. The middle gearbox design makes it an ideal choice for rock crawler and scale trail builds where interior space is at a premium and component organisation directly impacts handling and weight distribution. This is the kind of quality hardware that separates a hastily assembled RC build from a professional, reliable machine that performs consistently.
If you're building a ready to run RC crawler or upgrading an existing Axial SCX10 II setup, the Killer Body Battery/ESC/Receiver Holder delivers the genuine hardware quality and precision fit that serious RC enthusiasts demand. By providing dedicated mounting points for three critical electrical components, this holder eliminates loose wires, reduces the risk of component damage during impacts, and creates the kind of clean interior layout that's essential for proper weight balance in scale crawlers.
Key Features
- Dedicated Battery Holder — The included battery holder securely mounts your LiPo or NiMH battery in place, preventing it from shifting during aggressive driving or rough terrain navigation, which directly improves handling consistency and reduces the risk of battery damage from impact or vibration.
- Combined ESC and Receiver Mount — A single integrated mounting solution for both your electronic speed controller and receiver keeps these critical components organised in one location, simplifying wiring runs and reducing the overall footprint of electronics inside your chassis.
- Middle Gearbox Compatibility — Specifically designed for middle gearbox configurations on scale crawlers, this holder maximises the use of available interior space while maintaining proper weight distribution for improved climbing performance and handling characteristics.
- Secure Hardware Included — Genuine Killer Body screws and mounting hardware are included, ensuring a professional fit and reliable component retention during intense off-road driving sessions.
- Clean Interior Layout — By providing designated mounting locations, this holder enables builders to create a neat, organised interior that not only looks professional but also improves airflow around electronic components and reduces the risk of wire entanglement or short circuits.
- Perfect for Axial SCX10 II Builds — Engineered specifically for the Axial SCX10 II chassis platform, this holder integrates seamlessly with Killer Body's KB#48615 cockpit assembly and KB#48601 Toyota Land Cruiser body, ensuring perfect fitment without modification.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Is the Killer Body Battery/ESC/Receiver Holder compatible with other RC chassis besides the Axial SCX10 II? — This holder is specifically designed for middle gearbox configurations and is engineered to work with the KB#48615 cockpit assembly and KB#48601 Toyota Land Cruiser body on the Axial SCX10 II chassis. Whilst the mounting points might work with other similar platforms, Killer Body recommends using this product with the specified chassis and body combination to ensure perfect fitment and reliable operation.
- What battery types can this holder accommodate? — The battery holder is designed to secure standard LiPo and NiMH battery packs commonly used in RC crawlers and scale vehicles. It does not restrict battery type, so whether you're using a 3S, 4S, or other voltage configuration, the holder will securely mount your battery in place.
- Will this holder work with brushless ESC systems? — Yes, absolutely. This holder is compatible with both brushed and brushless ESC units. The combined ESC and receiver mount provides secure placement for standard size electronic speed controllers used in modern brushless RC crawlers and scale vehicles.
- Is this suitable for beginners building their first Axial SCX10 II? — Yes, this is an excellent choice for beginners. Providing dedicated mounting locations for battery, ESC, and receiver eliminates one of the trickier aspects of RC assembly — internal component organisation. This holder takes the guesswork out of planning your interior layout and ensures a professional result.

Genuine Killer Body hardware is included, and the design reflects deep knowledge of scale crawler building requirements. This purpose-built approach delivers superior fitment compared to generic holder solutions.
- Can I use this holder if I'm upgrading an existing Axial SCX10 II build? — Absolutely. If you already have an SCX10 II with the KB#48615 cockpit and KB#48601 body, this holder is a direct replacement or upgrade that will instantly improve your interior organisation and component security.
