Overview
The SCX10 has long been the RC platform of choice for scale trail enthusiasts. In 2022 Axial introduced the SCX10 III Base Camp 4WD RTR and gave cost-conscious crawling fans the chance to enjoy its performance and realism. Now comes a new way to experience SCX10-based adventure — the SCX10 III Base Camp Builder's Kit.
Kit building is a hobby perfectly suited for Axial enthusiasts, many of whom are passionate about tinkering with and modifying their rigs. There's no better starting point for your adventure build than the Base Camp Kit. It's a classic crawling platform that carries a wealth of proven Axial quality and innovation.
Base Camp Kit advantages go well beyond the satisfaction of putting together your own rig. The assembly process makes you an expert on its engineering and a pro at maintenance and repairs. You're also able to express your individuality by choosing a body style you like and finishing it however you wish. By adding your personal preference in tires, wheels, and electronics, you create a custom crawler inside and out. Compared to buying an RTR rig that comes fully equipped, the kit ensures you won't pay for anything that you may not use.
Better still, the Base Camp Kit isn't just an unassembled version of the Axial RTR rig. It's an improved Base Camp. The transmission can be externally locked in standard 4WD, but it also has an optional, servo-actuated dig feature. Robust 6mm stainless steel links are included, as well as Standard AR45 straight axles. If you prefer portal axles, the LCXU transmission makes it easy to switch.
The Axial SCX10 III Base Camp Builder's Kit give you the perfect foundation for your adventuring — the proven SCX10 III steel C-channel chassis, an optimized suspension and steering, and a trail-tough drivetrain. When you add your choice of body, tires, wheels, and electronics, it's a rig you can truly call all your own.
SCX10 III STEEL C-CHANNEL CHASSIS
The Base Camp Kit's strong, realistic SCX10 III steel C-channel chassis reduces frame flexing and increases the precision of suspension movement. It also adjusts to accommodate a wide variety of body styles (optional links req.).
LCXU DIG TRANSMISSION
The kit's LCXU transmission can be externally locked in standard 4WD, but also has an optional, servo-actuated dig feature for improved turning and control.
ALL-METAL GEARS
In addition to all-metal internal gears for strength and durability, the LCXU transmission also features a full set of ball bearings for a smooth, efficient ride.
AR45 STANDARD AXLES
The kit includes Standard AR45 straight axles that mirror what's found under most full-size off-road vehicles. The LCXU transmission design also makes it easy to switch from standard axles to portals if desired.
OPTIMIZED SUSPENSION
The suspension features 6mm stainless steel links and all-metal pivot balls for off-road durability. The tunable oil-filled shocks have aluminum threaded bodies and a single coilover spring.
ALL-METAL PIVOT BALLS
All pivot points are on stainless steel balls that provide durable, long-lasting performance.
METAL PANHARD MOUNT
Normally considered an upgrade, the metal panhard mount is included in the SCX10 III Base Camp Builder's Kit as a standard part.

Oli******ll
Short but sweet: if you're into rock crawling and want a reliable, tough-as-nails RC that doesn’t quit when the terrain gets ugly, this Axial SCX10 III is your guy. Mine survived a waterfall dip (not on purpose) and still crawls with pride. 10/10 would recommend.
Mont********* Sr.
Hands down one of the best RC platforms I've ever worked on. The Base Camp design makes tinkering so intuitive. Whether you're new or seasoned, this kit brings the stoke every single time.
Prof. ************ll III
Super sturdy frame and excellent articulation. Only docked a star because the manual could use more visuals. Otherwise, flawless performance and looks pro-level once completed.
Ryl*******ler
My husband loves this thing more than our dog. And honestly? The dog’s jealous. It climbs like a mountain goat on caffeine. Assembly was fun, not too hard if you’ve got basic tools and patience. Runs smooth and looks badass doing it.
Prof. ************rford
Finally finished my SCX10 III build and damn, it’s satisfying. Handles steep climbs with ease and tracks perfectly through mud and gravel. If you’re into slow-speed torque dominance, this is your rig.
Jos******amm
As someone who loves scale realism, this chassis delivers. The attention to detail from Axial is insane – functional suspension, clean wiring channels, and it crawls like a dream over rocks. Total flex in the RC world.
Tobi********ote
Good kit overall, but had one broken plastic piece upon arrival. Customer service sent a replacement fast though. Build experience was fun, just watch your screws – small parts everywhere!
Rica********sian
It's good, not perfect. Took ages to assemble, and the instructions could use more visuals. But once it’s running? Oh man, it’s a tank. Climbs like a dream, but I had minor wheel wobble at first. Fixed it with a tweak. Fun, but expect some tinkering.
Val*******ach
Love how customizable this platform is. Threw on some LED light bars and a winch, and it’s already turning heads at local meets. Feels premium in hand and drives even better.
Mr. ********well
Been using the Axial SCX10 III Base Camp Kit for a few weekends now, and it's solid. Assembly was straightforward, and the chassis feels tough even on rough terrain. Great foundation for a rock crawler, and it handles upgrades well. Perfect for weekend trail runs with the guys.
