Key Features
- Clipless Design — The innovative clipless body mounting system eliminates the need for traditional clips, making body attachment and removal significantly faster and easier, which is particularly beneficial when you're regularly maintaining or modifying your RC rock crawler.
- Complete Moulded Parts Kit — This system includes all the necessary components for full installation on your SCX10 III SR5, providing a comprehensive solution rather than requiring separate purchases of individual parts.
- Durable Injection Moulded Construction — Each component is manufactured using injection moulding techniques, creating robust parts that can withstand the stresses of rock crawling, bashing, and competitive use without premature wear or failure.
- Official Axial Design — As a genuine Axial product, this body mounting system is engineered to factory specifications and guarantees perfect compatibility with your SCX10 III 1987 Toyota SR5, ensuring proper fitment and performance without modification.
- Multiple Mounting Points — The system includes front chassis mounts, body mounts, stand-offs, and latch components that work together to provide secure, stable body positioning from multiple points for optimal chassis protection and body alignment.
- Latch Spring System — The included latch springs provide consistent clamping force to hold the body securely in place during aggressive off-road driving, preventing body shift or movement that could affect handling or cause damage.
- Mid-Cage Bracing — The mid-cage brace component reinforces the body mounting structure, providing additional support and stability to the overall system, which is essential for maintaining precise body positioning during challenging terrain navigation.
Technical Performance
This body mounting system is engineered with Axial's signature attention to detail, utilising injection moulded plastics throughout to create lightweight yet durable components. The system comprises multiple precision-moulded parts that work in concert to create a secure mounting platform for your 1/10 scale rock crawler body. The durable construction means the components will not crack, warp, or degrade under the stresses of regular RC crawling and off-road use, ensuring your investment provides long-term reliability. The injection moulding process creates parts with tight tolerances and consistent quality, guaranteeing that all components fit together precisely as designed. This is particularly important for a body mounting system where even minor misalignment can affect how securely the body is held or how easily it can be removed. The front chassis body mount ensures proper positioning at the front of the vehicle, whilst the body mounts on the body itself create secure attachment points. The latch box components, available in top and bottom configurations, form the central locking mechanism that holds the body in place without requiring separate clips. The latch slider works in conjunction with the latch boxes to provide smooth, consistent engagement. The rear body latch push plate provides additional security at the rear of the body, preventing upward movement during aggressive driving. Stand-offs maintain consistent clearance between the body and chassis, protecting electronic components and structural elements underneath. The cage brace and lower body latch brace provide structural reinforcement to the mounting system, ensuring it maintains rigidity even under the demanding loads of rock crawling on uneven terrain. All components are designed specifically for the Axial SCX10 III platform, guaranteeing perfect integration with your existing 1/10 scale rock crawler chassis and body.
