Overview
The AXIAL Dig 2-Speed Arm & Shaft Set is a premium drivetrain upgrade component designed specifically for the SCX10 III platform, one of the most respected and trusted RC rock crawlers available in the UK market today. This specialist part enables you to transform your SCX10 III into a genuine two-speed transmission setup, giving you unprecedented control over your off-road performance across different terrain types and climbing angles. Whether you're tackling steep rocky ascents or navigating technical terrain, this 2-speed conversion system provides the flexibility that serious RC scale trailing enthusiasts demand. The SCX10 III platform has earned its reputation as the first choice for radio control rig builders and adventurers worldwide, and this drivetrain enhancement builds upon that legacy by offering genuine performance upgrades for the discerning RC car UK enthusiast.
This upgrade kit brings professional-grade transmission versatility to your SCX10 III without requiring a complete overhaul of your existing setup. The engineering excellence that defines the SCX10 platform extends to every component included in this set, incorporating the same attention to durability, precision and reliability that has made Axial a respected name in RC crawling. For RC hobbyists who want to maximise their vehicle's potential across varied terrain conditions, this represents a genuine investment in performance that delivers measurable improvements in both climbing capability and controlled descent management.
Key Features
- Dual-Speed Transmission System — The two-speed functionality allows you to electronically switch between high and low gearing ratios directly from your transmitter, giving you the ability to optimise your drivetrain performance for specific terrain challenges without stopping to manually adjust your setup on the trail.
- DIG-Compatible Design — This arm and shaft set integrates seamlessly with the SCX10 III's DIG system architecture, which features locking of the rear axle from the transmitter to provide the tighter turning radius of front-wheel drive on demand, dramatically improving manoeuvrability in tight spaces and technical sections.
- Micro Dig Servo Integration — The system works in conjunction with the included Micro Dig Servo that can be repositioned to the two-speed linkage, allowing you to convert your transmission from rear-axle locking functionality to two-speed operation based on your specific crawling requirements.
- Full Metal Internal Gears — All-metal internal gears provide exceptional strength and durability throughout the drivetrain, ensuring that your transmission can handle the extreme loads and stress that come with serious rock crawling and scale trailing over extended sessions.
- Complete Ball Bearing Set — A full set of high-quality ball bearings is integrated throughout the transmission, reducing friction and wear whilst maximising efficiency and longevity of all rotating components, essential for reliable performance in demanding off-road conditions.
- SCX10 Platform Compatibility — Purpose-built for the SCX10 III platform, this component maintains the legendary durability and adjustability characteristics that have made the SCX10 line the staple vehicle platform for radio control scale trailing for over a decade.
Technical Performance
The AXIAL Dig 2-Speed Arm & Shaft Set represents the pinnacle of SCX10 III drivetrain engineering, incorporating design principles that have been refined through countless hours of real-world trail testing. The transmission features an ultra-compact design that maximises internal volume for gear placement and bearing support whilst maintaining the tight packaging that the SCX10 platform demands. All-metal internal gears utilise helical cut teeth for smoother engagement and reduced noise, whilst high-quality bearings throughout the assembly ensure smooth operation and minimal power loss through the drivetrain. The two-speed functionality enables a full range of gearing choices by allowing electronic switching between different gear ratios, permitting adjustments from super high-speed performance down to competition-level crawling speeds, all controlled seamlessly from your transmitter without any field adjustments. The arm and shaft components are manufactured to exacting tolerances to ensure perfect mesh and engagement, critical for reliable operation under the extreme torque loads experienced during steep climbs and difficult rock obstacles. The system integrates with Axial's proven DIG servo technology, allowing you to reconfigure your setup between rear-axle locking and two-speed transmission functionality depending on your current trail requirements, providing genuine versatility that serious RC enthusiasts appreciate. Built to the same engineering standards as complete SCX10 III vehicles, this upgrade delivers the durability and performance reliability that defines the platform.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Will the Dig 2-Speed Arm & Shaft Set work with my existing SCX10 III setup? — Yes, this component set is specifically engineered for SCX10 III compatibility and integrates with your existing transmission and DIG system architecture. The upgrade maintains full compatibility with your current drivetrain whilst adding two-speed functionality through electronic switching from your transmitter.
- What is the difference between DIG locking and two-speed transmission functionality? — The SCX10 III platform can be configured in two different ways using the included Micro Dig Servo. In DIG mode, the servo locks the rear axle from the transmitter, giving you the tighter turning radius of front-wheel drive on demand for improved manoeuvrability. In two-speed mode, the servo operates the two-speed transmission linkage, allowing you to switch between two different gear ratios electronically to optimise performance for different terrain types and climbing angles.
- Can I switch between DIG locking and two-speed operation? — Yes, the beauty of this system is its versatility. By repositioning the included Micro Dig Servo between the rear-axle locking linkage and the two-speed transmission linkage, you can configure your SCX10 III for whichever function best suits your current trailing conditions and preferences, though this requires manual adjustment when changing between modes.
- What makes this upgrade worth the investment? — For serious SCX10 III enthusiasts engaged in scale trailing and competitive crawling, the two-speed transmission system delivers genuine performance advantages by allowing you to optimise your gear ratio on the fly without stopping for field adjustments. This flexibility across varied terrain conditions translates to faster ascents, better controlled descents, and improved overall trail performance. The engineering quality and durability standards are identical to Axial's complete vehicle platforms, ensuring this upgrade will provide years of reliable service.
- Is this suitable for beginners? — This is a specialist upgrade component intended for experienced SCX10 III builders and operators who understand drivetrain setup and tuning. Whilst the installation is straightforward for users familiar with their platform, this represents an advanced upgrade rather than a starter component.
