Engineered axle protector for SCX10 applications

This axle protector mount is produced for fitment on Axial Racing SCX10 platforms and is referenced as model SCX168F/R. The component pairs machined aluminium load points with resilient polymer sections to offer localised stiffness where impacts occur, while the plastic elements provide controlled energy absorption to protect axle housings and suspension link terminations during technical crawling.

As a front and rear housing replacement bracket, the part is engineered to redirect contact forces away from gear cases and link anchors without altering drive-line geometry when mounted to standard SCX10 screw bosses. The aluminium faces mitigate point loads while compliant areas reduce shock transmission into the axle internals.

Installation uses existing mounting points: remove the OEM cover, align the protector to the factory boss pattern and secure with compatible fasteners. Final checks should include full suspension articulation and steering sweep to ensure no mechanical interference prior to use.

Specifications

  • Item: Front/Rear axle protector mount, 1 set (1 pcs)
  • Material: Aluminium and plastic
  • Model Number: SCX168F/R
  • Compatibility: Axial Racing SCX10

A precision-focused aftermarket protector aimed at enhancing axle face durability on SCX10 crawlers while preserving original geometry; verify boss compatibility before installation.

Verify boss hole alignment and lateral clearance to within typical SCX10 manufacturing tolerances; ensure no binding across the full travel range.
Aluminium faces are engineered for impact resistance and precision fit; treat them as structural load points and inspect for deformation after significant impacts.
Yes, the protector does not alter internal bearing fitment; confirm external clearances with any larger outer-diameter bearings prior to final assembly.
Inspect after each hard session for loosening, deformation or cracked polymer; replace worn plastic components to maintain designed protection levels.
