Overview
The Killerbody Installation Mount S/S (KB48672) is a professional-grade stainless steel mounting solution designed specifically for RC enthusiasts running the 1/10 Toyota Land Cruiser 70 body on Axial SCX10 and SCX10 II chassis platforms with 4.72 tyres. This durable hardware package provides the secure, reliable mounting points needed to safely attach your scale body shell to your RC crawler chassis, ensuring your investment in quality bodywork remains firmly in place during off-road adventures and scale crawling courses across the UK.
Whether you're a dedicated scale crawler builder, a serious RC hobbyist, or someone looking to upgrade an existing build, this Killerbody mounting kit offers an essential upgrade that transforms the appearance and functionality of your 1/10 scale RC vehicle. The use of stainless steel construction means you're getting corrosion-resistant hardware that will withstand the rigours of outdoor RC driving, mud, water crossings and varied British weather conditions. This is the kind of quality component that separates a properly engineered RC build from a hastily assembled one, and it's exactly what you need when you're investing in a premium scale body like the Toyota Land Cruiser 70.
Killerbody has established itself as a specialist manufacturer in RC model bodies, and this installation mount represents their commitment to providing complete solutions rather than just bodyshells. The KB48672 is the straightforward answer to the question every RC car UK enthusiast asks: how do I mount my body securely and professionally? With this stainless steel kit, you get both the engineering quality and the peace of mind that comes with genuine manufacturer parts.
Key Features
- Stainless Steel Construction — Every mounting bracket and hardware component is manufactured from stainless steel, which provides superior corrosion resistance compared to standard steel or plastic alternatives. This means your installation mount will maintain its integrity and appearance even when exposed to moisture, salt spray, and the unpredictable UK weather conditions that RC crawlers and trail trucks regularly encounter.
- Front Installation Mounting — The kit includes a dedicated front mounting bracket designed specifically to secure the front section of the Toyota Land Cruiser 70 body to your Axial SCX10 or SCX10 II chassis. This front mount ensures that the front bumper, grille and hood remain perfectly aligned and secure throughout your driving sessions.
- Rear Installation Mounting — Complementing the front mount, the rear installation bracket provides secure attachment points for the rear section of the body shell. This dual-point mounting system distributes stress evenly across your chassis and prevents twisting, sagging or misalignment that can occur with inferior single-point mounting solutions.
- Complete Hardware Package — The kit comes with all the screws and fasteners you need for a complete installation, eliminating the frustration of searching through your spares box for matching hardware or making trips back to RC shops for missing components. Everything is engineered to work together as a cohesive system.
- Axial SCX10/SCX10 II Compatibility — These mounts are purpose-designed for the popular Axial SCX10 and SCX10 II chassis platforms running 4.72 tyres, ensuring a perfect fit and optimal mounting geometry. This specific compatibility means you get engineered fitment rather than a generic solution that might require modification.
- 1/10 Scale Optimisation — Designed specifically for 1/10 scale models, every dimension and load-bearing point is calculated for this popular RC scale, ensuring that weight distribution is balanced and your body shell is mounted exactly as the designers intended.
Technical Performance
The Killerbody KB48672 installation mount system represents genuine engineering for 1/10 scale RC applications. Stainless steel is the material of choice here because it combines strength with corrosion resistance—a critical combination when your RC crawler will be tackling muddy trails, water crossings, and potentially salt-treated surfaces during UK winter months. The dual-mounting point design (front and rear) creates a rigid, stable platform that prevents the body shell from moving, twisting or rocking relative to the chassis during aggressive driving, rock crawling, or competitive scale events. This level of stability is essential for maintaining the aesthetic integrity of your build and ensuring that all the detail features of the Toyota Land Cruiser 70 body remain perfectly presented. The engineering approach here is professional-grade, reflecting Killerbody's specialisation in RC bodies—they understand that a beautiful scale body is only as good as its mounting system. By using quality fasteners and specifically engineered bracket geometry, this kit ensures that installation is straightforward and that the mounting points are distributed to avoid stress concentration on any single area of the body shell. Whether you're building a dedicated scale crawler for serious competition or a display-quality trail truck for weekend adventures, this stainless steel mounting solution provides the foundation upon which everything else depends.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Is the Killerbody KB48672 compatible with other Axial chassis besides the SCX10 and SCX10 II? — This installation mount is specifically engineered for the Axial SCX10 and SCX10 II chassis platforms running 4.72 tyres. While you may be able to adapt it to other vehicles, compatibility is not guaranteed, and we recommend checking your specific chassis dimensions and body mounting points before purchase. Always refer to your vehicle and body setup when planning installation, as mounting geometry can vary significantly between different chassis platforms.
- What makes stainless steel the right choice for RC body mounting hardware? — Stainless steel offers excellent corrosion resistance, which is crucial for RC vehicles that regularly encounter moisture, mud and potentially salty environments. Unlike standard steel, stainless steel won't rust or degrade when exposed to wet conditions, and it maintains its appearance and structural integrity over time. For UK RC enthusiasts who drive in variable weather and damp terrain, this material choice makes a real practical difference in durability and longevity.
- How difficult is it to install these mounting brackets? — The Killerbody installation mount is designed to be straightforward to fit. The kit comes complete with all necessary screws and fasteners, and the engineering ensures that mounting points align correctly on the SCX10 and SCX10 II chassis. However, the complexity will depend on your specific build configuration and whether you already have the Toyota Land Cruiser 70 body fitted. We recommend referring to any installation guides specific to your body and chassis combination, and don't hesitate to contact us if you need guidance on the installation process.
- What is the Toyota Land Cruiser 70 body and why is it popular in the RC community? — The Toyota Land Cruiser 70 series is an iconic real-world vehicle known for its legendary off-road capabilities and rugged design. In the RC world, scale bodies based on this vehicle are incredibly popular among crawlers and trail truck enthusiasts because they capture the distinctive styling of this classic 4x4 and work beautifully on platforms like the Axial SCX10 II. The Land Cruiser 70 body is particularly favoured by UK RC hobbyists who want authentic scale appearance combined with serious off-road performance.
- Can I use these mounts with different tyres sizes? — These brackets are specifically designed for use with 4.72 tyres on the Axial SCX10 and SCX10 II. If you're running different tyre sizes, the suspension geometry and ground clearance may change in ways that affect how the body shell sits relative to the chassis, potentially causing fitment issues. Always verify compatibility based on your complete setup configuration.
- Are replacement screws available if I lose or damage any fasteners? — While the kit comes complete with all necessary installation hardware, Killerbody may offer spare fasteners as separate items. For any questions about replacement parts or additional hardware, we recommend contacting RC Model Shop directly—our team can help you source any spares you might need and provide ongoing support for your build.
