Technical Performance
The RCO Beetle Body Clear SCX30 is engineered for the Axial 1/30 scale platform, making it compatible with all SCX30 rock crawler models currently in the Axial lineup. The clear polycarbonate shell is designed with precision fitment in mind, featuring proper mounting points and body posts that align perfectly with the SCX30 chassis. The transparent material maintains structural integrity whilst allowing full visibility of your vehicle's internal mechanics, making it particularly popular with builders who have invested in quality suspension components, metal axles, LED lighting upgrades, or custom wiring that they want to display. The clear finish does not compromise the body's durability or impact resistance, making it suitable for both display collection and active rock crawling use.

The clear finish does not compromise durability compared to painted shells, making it suitable for both display and active use.

The mounting points and body posts align perfectly with your SCX30's frame.
