This is an essential upgrade for anyone running a Killer Body KB48615 cockpit assembly or working with compatible Axial SCX10 II chassis builds. The holder is designed with the scale crawler community in mind, providing the kind of practical solutions that experienced RC hobbyists have come to expect from quality aftermarket spares. If you're serious about your RC crawler setup and want to achieve that authentic, detailed appearance with functional organisation, this rear gearbox holder is exactly what you need.

As an authorised Killer Body dealer, RC Model Shop stocks genuine parts that have been engineered specifically for compatibility with Killer Body scale assemblies. This isn't a generic holder—it's a precision component designed to integrate seamlessly with your build, ensuring that all mounting points align perfectly and your electronics sit securely at the rear of your chassis where weight distribution is optimised.

Key Features

• Integrated Battery and Electronics Housing — This holder combines dedicated space for both your battery pack and ESC/receiver components in a single, compact unit, which simplifies installation and reduces the number of separate mounting brackets you need to source and install on your RC crawler.
• Rear Gearbox Mounting Position — The rear-mounted design positions your heaviest component (the battery) at the back of the chassis, which improves weight distribution and handling characteristics compared to mid-mounted or forward-mounted battery placements on scale RC models.
• Purpose-Built for Scale Crawlers — Unlike generic holders, this component is specifically engineered for Killer Body scale crawler applications, ensuring perfect fitment with the KB48615 cockpit assembly and compatibility with the Axial SCX10 II chassis platform.
• Two-Part Construction — The holder features a dedicated battery holder section and a separate ESC and receiver holder, allowing you flexibility in how you arrange your electronics while keeping everything securely contained in one rear-mounted assembly.
• Hardware Included — All necessary screws are provided, meaning you can complete the installation without searching for aftermarket fasteners or worrying about compatibility issues with mixed-diameter mounting bolts.
• Compact Design — The holder is engineered to take up minimal space at the rear gearbox location, preserving ground clearance and ensuring that your RC crawler maintains its intended proportions and scale appearance without protruding electronics.
• Genuine Killer Body Component — As an authentic Killer Body spare part, this holder meets the same quality standards and precision tolerances as the complete kits, guaranteeing reliability and longevity in your build.

Technical Performance

The Killer Body KB48690 Battery/ESC/Receiver Holder represents solid engineering designed specifically for the demands of scale RC crawler construction. This is a structural component rather than an electronic module, but its importance to your overall build quality cannot be overstated. The holder is engineered to securely mount your battery pack, ESC, and receiver at the rear gearbox location of compatible Killer Body crawler assemblies, which represents the optimal mounting position for weight distribution on scale models running the KB48615 cockpit assembly and compatible with Axial SCX10 II chassis platforms. The two-part construction—featuring both a dedicated battery holder and a combined ESC/receiver holder—accommodates standard LiPo battery packs commonly used in 1/10 scale crawlers whilst providing protected enclosure for sensitive receiver and speed controller electronics. The included fastening hardware is matched to Killer Body specifications, ensuring that your installation will be secure and that all mounting points will align precisely with pre-drilled holes in your chassis and gearbox assembly. For builders working with Killer Body spares and upgrades, this rear-mounted solution eliminates the guesswork of sourcing compatible holders and dramatically improves the finished appearance of your scale RC build by creating a clean, integrated mounting solution that looks as professional as it functions.

Frequently Asked Questions

• What batteries are compatible with the Killer Body KB48690 holder? — This holder is designed to accommodate standard LiPo battery packs commonly used in 1/10 scale RC crawlers. The battery section is sized for typical rectangular LiPo configurations used in scale builds. If you're unsure whether your specific battery pack will fit, contact our team at RC Model Shop and we can advise on sizing.
• Is this suitable for beginners to RC crawlers? — Absolutely. This is an excellent upgrade for anyone building or upgrading a Killer Body scale crawler, regardless of experience level. The installation is straightforward—the included screws mount directly to your chassis, and the holder secures your battery, ESC and receiver in one compact assembly. If you're new to building scale crawlers, this component will actually make your build easier because it eliminates the need to source and fit multiple individual holders.
• Will this fit my Axial SCX10 II? — Yes, this holder is confirmed compatible with the Axial SCX10 II chassis. It's specifically designed for rear gearbox mounting, which is the optimal location for SCX10 II builds. However, you'll typically be using this as part of a complete Killer Body KB48615 assembly rather than as a standalone upgrade on a stock SCX10 II.
• Can I use this holder without the KB48615 cockpit assembly? — The holder is specifically engineered for the KB48615 cockpit assembly and is listed as compatible with SCX10 II chassis builds. For optimal fitment and performance, we recommend using it as part of a compatible Killer Body scale crawler build. Contact our knowledgeable team if you're working on a different chassis and need advice on whether this will fit your specific model.
• What makes this better than a generic battery/ESC holder? — This is a purpose-engineered Killer Body component designed specifically for scale crawler applications with exact fitment for the KB48615 assembly. Generic holders lack the precision engineering and may not align properly with your cockpit assembly or provide the same level of integration. With this official Killer Body spare, you're getting a component that was designed alongside the entire scale build system.
• Is installation difficult? — Installation is very straightforward. The holder mounts at the rear gearbox location using the included screws, and your battery, ESC and receiver then mount into their respective sections. Detailed installation instructions should accompany your holder, and our team at RC Model Shop are always happy to provide guidance if you have any questions during the build process.
