SCX10

SCX10 is a line of 1/10-scale electric RC crawler chassis produced by Axial Racing. Designed for scale realism and capable off-road crawling, the SCX10 platform emphasizes a realistic appearance alongside slow, controlled torque. The chassis typically features a ladder-frame or boxed frame, solid front and rear axles, and a suspension tuned for low-speed crawling. The design highlights modularity, allowing builders to swap bodies, electronics, and driveline components to suit different scale looks and performance goals. It supports a wide range of 1/10-scale bodies, including classic Jeep and Toyota shells, and has extensive aftermarket support.

The SCX10 lineage includes the original SCX10 and the SCX10 II variant, which introduced updates to improve durability, drivetrain strength, and overall reliability. Over time Axial and third-party manufacturers expanded the lineup with different kit flavors and body choices, such as Honcho- and Deadbolt-branded kits, as well as other scale-focused releases. The platform remains popular among hobbyists who value scale aesthetics paired with genuine crawling capability.

In use, SCX10 vehicles are typically built for low-speed control, precise throttle and steering, and adaptability to various terrains, from rocks to trails. The broad ecosystem of upgrades—metal gears, upgraded axles, and scale accessories—helps maintain the SCX10 as an accessible entry point and a long-term platform for scale crawlers.
