Axial SCX10 III – Portals, Dig, 2-Speed & Jeep Wrangler JL Body

The Axial SCX10 III Jeep JL Wrangler incorporates the key components that have made the Axial SCX10 series successful – but takes realism and detail to a higher level. The SCX10 III includes a replica V8 engine to house the front-mounted 540 motor. It’s mated to a realistic transmission housing and transfer case, just like a 1:1 vehicle.

The unique and versatile transmission can be built in several ways. If using a 3-channel radio, you can set it up with a third-channel DIG function that lets you lock the rear axle from the transmitter for front wheel drive and a tighter turning radius. Another 3-channel option is to set up the vehicle with a two-speed transmission to select between high and low speeds. To have access to the two-speed transmission and DIG function simultaneously, just add another servo and use a radio with at least four channels!

The SCX10 III Jeep JL Wrangler kit features portal axles to improve performance by increasing the ground clearance at the pumpkin, while reducing torque twist. Its standard battery tray accepts full-size standard LiPo or NiMH packs. There’s also space on the side rails for drivers who prefer “shorty” packs. Inner fenders and floor sides hide the internal components that hinder the scale look.

To top off the chassis, the kit comes with a clear Jeep Wrangler Unlimited four-door body that’s ready for finishing however you like. Scale details include a roll cage, front hood vents and cowl, windshield wipers, mirrors, door handles and more, plus a detailed interior. New taller and wider, officially licensed Nitto Trail Grappler tires on 3-piece licensed KMC Machete beadlock wheels add more scale realism and more grip on dirt, rocks, and all other off-road trails.
