Key Features
- Strong, durable nylon construction — The holder is moulded from premium-grade nylon that provides excellent durability and reliability without adding unnecessary weight to your crawler, ensuring your spare wheel remains securely mounted through rough terrain and challenging driving conditions.
- Ultra-lightweight design at just 5.6 grams — Weighing only 0.19oz (5.6g), this spare wheel holder adds minimal mass to your 1/10 scale rig, which is crucial for maintaining the handling characteristics and performance of your Axial SCX10 III Jeep during technical crawling and off-road driving.
- Purpose-designed for Axial SCX10 III Jeep platforms — This holder is engineered specifically for the Axial 1/10 SCX10 III Jeep Gladiator and JLU Wrangler models, ensuring perfect fitment and integration with your existing crawler without modification or adaptation.
- Includes all necessary mounting hardware — The package includes M4 x 25mm steel button head cap screws, nylock nuts in black, and a wing nut, providing everything you need to install and secure your spare wheel immediately upon purchase.
- Authentic scale detailing — Adds genuine visual authenticity to your 1/10 scale Jeep, replicating the classic spare wheel mounting arrangement found on full-size off-road Jeeps and enhancing the overall realism of your crawler.
- Compatible with 1.7-inch scale tyres and beadlock wheels — The holder is designed to accommodate popular RC4WD Fuel Mud Gripper M/T 1.7-inch scale tyres and RC4WD Raceline Monster 1.7-inch beadlock wheels, though it remains compatible with other appropriately-sized spare wheel and tyre combinations.
Technical Performance
The RC4WD spare wheel holder represents thoughtful engineering applied to 1/10 scale crawler accessories. Built from strong, durable nylon material that resists cracking and degradation during extended use, this component maintains its structural integrity whether you're driving on loose terrain, through water crossings, or across rocky obstacles typical of UK off-road RC environments. The ultralight construction at just 5.6 grams ensures minimal impact on your rig's weight distribution and handling characteristics—critical considerations for scale crawlers where every gram contributes to performance. The mounting system utilises steel M4 button head cap screws and nylock nuts, providing secure attachment that won't loosen during aggressive driving. The inclusion of a wing nut allows for tool-free removal of mounted spare wheels, enabling quick wheel swaps during extended driving sessions. The holder is engineered specifically for 1.7-inch scale tyres mounted on beadlock wheels, making it perfectly compatible with popular RC4WD Fuel Mud Gripper M/T and Raceline Monster wheel options, though the design accommodates other appropriately-sized spare configurations. This is a functional component designed with the real-world needs of scale crawler enthusiasts in mind—it's not purely cosmetic, but a practical accessory that serves genuine purpose in your RC driving toolkit.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Is the RC4WD spare wheel holder compatible with my Axial SCX10 III Jeep? — Yes, this holder is specifically designed for Axial 1/10 SCX10 III Jeep platforms, including both the Gladiator and JLU Wrangler models. It has been tested and confirmed compatible with these rigs. If you own a different Axial model or a non-Axial crawler, please contact RC Model Shop for compatibility confirmation before ordering.
- What weight penalty does this accessory add to my crawler? — The holder weighs just 0.19oz or 5.6 grams, making it exceptionally lightweight and ideal for scale crawlers where minimising overall weight is important for handling and performance. This minimal weight addition means you won't notice any degradation in your rig's climbing ability or articulation.

It has been demonstrated with RC4WD Fuel Mud Gripper M/T 1.7-inch scale tyres and RC4WD Raceline Monster 1.7-inch beadlock wheels in Black/Silver. Other 1.7-inch wheel and tyre combinations should work, but you should verify specific dimensions before purchasing if you're using non-standard components.
- Do I need any tools to install this spare wheel holder? — The holder includes M4 x 25mm steel button head cap screws and nylock nuts for mounting to your Jeep platform.

- Will this accessory affect my crawler's performance or handling? — No. At just 5.6 grams, the weight addition is negligible and will not noticeably impact your rig's articulation, climbing ability, or handling characteristics.
