Overview
The RC4WD Leaf Spring Mounts for Axial AR44 Single Piece Axle Housing represent a premium upgrade solution for scale RC enthusiasts and hobbyists looking to enhance their axle suspension setup. These precision-engineered mounts are specifically designed for the Axial AR44 single-piece axle housing, making them an essential component for anyone building or upgrading a leaf-sprung scale RC crawler or off-road vehicle. Whether you're an experienced RC modeller in the UK or someone discovering the world of scale RC builds, these CNC-machined aluminium mounts deliver the robust engineering and attention to detail that discerning RC enthusiasts demand.
RC4WD is a recognised leader in scale RC accessories and upgrade parts, and this product exemplifies their commitment to precision manufacturing and functional design. If you're building a scale crawler with authentic leaf-spring suspension geometry, these mounts provide the tidy, professional solution that separates competition-grade builds from casual bashers. The Axial AR44 is a popular single-piece axle housing found in many crawler builds across the UK RC community, and having quality mounting solutions ensures your suspension geometry remains consistent and reliable through rough terrain.
These mounts transform a basic axle setup into a refined suspension component with proper scale proportions and functional strength. Whether you're attending an RC club event, tackling backyard trials, or simply enjoying weekend bashing with friends, upgrading to quality leaf-spring mounts demonstrates a commitment to your RC car's performance and longevity. The lightweight aluminium construction ensures minimal weight penalty whilst maximising strength and durability in the field.
Key Features
- CNC Machined Billet Aluminium — Each mount is precision-machined from solid billet aluminium, ensuring consistent geometry and exceptional durability that hand-formed or cast alternatives cannot match. This manufacturing process guarantees that every mount meets exact specifications, providing reliable performance across all your RC builds.
- Black Anodised Finish — The durable black anodised coating protects the aluminium from corrosion, oxidation and weathering whilst delivering a professional, finished appearance on your RC crawler or scale buggy. This finish resists the wear and tear of field use, dirt, mud and moisture exposure that RC vehicles regularly encounter.
- Minimal Weight Penalty — At just 22.3 grammes (0.78 ounces) per set, these mounts add virtually no additional weight to your axle assembly, preserving your vehicle's dynamic handling characteristics and battery runtime whilst providing substantial strength improvements.
- Precision Leaf-Spring Mounting — These mounts provide correctly engineered mounting points for leaf-spring suspension geometry, ensuring proper articulation, consistent handling characteristics and authentic scale proportions that enhance both performance and visual appeal.
- Complete Hardware Package — The kit includes all necessary fasteners in three different lengths (M3 x 6mm, M3 x 14mm and M3 x 18mm), eliminating the need to source components separately and ensuring you have exactly what you need for installation.
- Axial AR44 Compatibility — Engineered specifically for the Axial AR44 single-piece axle housing, these mounts integrate seamlessly without modification, fitting perfectly into builds designed around this popular chassis component across the UK RC market.
Technical Performance
The RC4WD Z-S1959 Leaf Spring Mounts exemplify precision engineering applied to RC scale suspension components. Manufactured from premium billet aluminium through CNC machining processes, these mounts undergo controlled machining to achieve exact tolerances and consistent geometry that casting or alternative manufacturing methods cannot replicate. The black anodised finish provides corrosion resistance and durability, protecting the aluminium substrate from oxidation and environmental degradation typical of outdoor RC use. Weighing only 22.3 grammes per set, the mounts maintain minimal unsprung weight whilst delivering exceptional strength and rigidity in the field. The engineering prioritises both functional performance and visual authenticity, critical considerations for serious scale RC builders and competition crawler enthusiasts. The inclusion of 16 stainless steel button head cap screws in three different lengths ensures proper fastening security across various mounting configurations, accommodating different leaf-spring setups and suspension geometries on the Axial AR44 single-piece axle housing. These mounts are designed for builders who demand precision engineering and consistent performance from every component in their RC vehicle build.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Are these mounts compatible with other axle housings besides the Axial AR44? — These leaf spring mounts are engineered specifically for the Axial AR44 single-piece axle housing and are not compatible with other axle designs without modification. If you use a different axle housing, you will need to verify compatibility or source alternative mounts designed for your specific chassis.
- Will these mounts work with both leaf-spring and coil-spring suspension setups? — These mounts are specifically designed for leaf-spring suspension geometry on the Axial AR44. If you run a coil-spring or shock-based suspension setup, these mounts would not be suitable for your configuration.
- How much weight do these mounts add to my RC vehicle? — At just 22.3 grammes per set (0.78 ounces), these mounts add minimal weight to your axle assembly. For most RC scale crawlers and buggies, this negligible weight penalty is vastly outweighed by the strength, durability and functional benefits the precision CNC machining provides.
- Are replacement fasteners available separately if I lose or damage screws during use? — Yes, RC4WD offers replacement hardware as individual parts. The M3 x 6mm screws are available as Z-S0651, the M3 x 14mm screws as Z-S0655, and the M3 x 18mm screws as Z-S0657, allowing you to maintain your mounts long-term without replacing the entire component.
- Do I need special tools to install these leaf spring mounts? — Installation requires basic hex key (Allen key) tools to remove your existing axle mounting hardware and to fit the new mounts using the provided button head cap screws. Most RC enthusiasts already have the necessary tools for this straightforward upgrade.
- Will these mounts improve my RC crawler's performance and handling? — Upgrading to quality leaf spring mounts ensures proper suspension geometry and consistent articulation, contributing to improved handling consistency and more predictable vehicle dynamics. For scale crawlers prioritising authentic suspension geometry, these mounts deliver noticeable handling improvements.
- Why choose CNC machined billet aluminium over cast alternatives? — CNC machining from billet aluminium delivers superior precision, consistency and reliability compared to casting processes. This manufacturing method ensures every mount meets exact specifications, eliminating geometric variation that could compromise suspension performance across multiple vehicles.
