Overview
Unstoppable performance — unbeatable price
The 1/10 scale Axial® SCX10™ has long been the RC vehicle platform of choice for scale trail enthusiasts, providing exciting detail and superior off-road performance. Each new SCX10 generation raises the bar in rock crawling realism. Now, with the ready-to-run SCX10 III Base Camp 4WD, even cost-conscious crawling fans can experience the unmatched performance of Axial engineering — and enjoy plenty of scale realism, too. The Base Camp 4WD is the most bang for your buck available in a 1/10 scale Axial rig!
The SCX10 III Base Camp 4WD incorporates all of the key components that make SCX10 III vehicles so effective on the trails. For bashers on a budget, Axial has kept costs down by including the classic, single-speed transmission and putting a few less molded details on the body. The Base Camp 4WD still delivers the high performance you expect from an Axial crawler. The single-speed transmission's low center of gravity even helps it stick tighter to the trails, and the new body style has a distinctive, awesome scale look.
The stiffness of the SCX10 III Base Camp 4WD steel C-channel chassis reduces frame flexing and increases the precision of suspension movement. A full set of ball bearings and all-metal internal gears give the transmission strength and durability. The optimized suspension includes all-metal links and oil-filled shocks that can be tuned to find to the best dampening rate for any surface.
Officially licensed Black Rhino wheels add scale looks. The R35 compound Falken Wildpeak tires included with the SCX10 III Base Camp 4WD provide good ground clearance and a secure grip on dirt, rocks, and all other off-road surfaces.
Factory-assembled, water resistant, and ready-to-run, the Axial SCX10 III Base Camp 4WD comes with almost everything needed to hit the trails right out of the box, including the transmitter, receiver, ESC, motor, servo, and finished body. Just add your preferred battery and charger. For anyone who wants to join the RC adventuring lifestyle — in the mountains, forest, desert, or backyard — the affordable, high-performance Base Camp 4WD makes it possible!

SCX10™ III STEEL C-CHANNEL CHASSIS
The stiffness of the SCX10™ III Base Camp 4WD steel C-channel chassis reduces frame flexing and increases the precision of suspension movement.
ALL-NEW LCXU SINGLE SPEED TRANSMISSION
Equipped with a high performance, single-speed transmission, the SCX10™ III Base Camp 4WD has a low center of gravity for stability over courses and trails. The transmission also includes a full set of ball bearings and all-metal internal gears for strength and durability. The internal gears can be switched to allow for use of our optional Standard Axle Conversion Kit (AXI238000).
OPTIMIZED SUSPENSION GEOMETRY
The front suspension geometry of the SCX10™ III Base Camp 4WD is optimized to reduce bump steer, while the rear 4-link reduces torque twist.
METAL LINKS
All links are metal, and all pivot points are on stainless steel balls that provide durable, long-lasting performance.
ALUMINUM ADJUSTABLE COILOVER SHOCKS
The oil-filled shocks have aluminum threaded bodies and a single coilover spring. The shocks are tunable for achieving the best dampening rate. Their increased bore size also creates more fluid volume for better performance.
FALKEN WILDPEAK TIRES & BLACK RHINO WHEELS
The 4.7" tall, R35 compound Falken Wildpeak tires and Black Rhino one-piece wheels look great and provide more ground clearance and more grip on dirt, rocks, and all other off-road trails.

Customer Reviews
Prof. ************ay Jr.
I'm relatively new to scale crawling, and this rig made the learning curve enjoyable. Sturdy construction, realistic look, and handles backyard obstacles like a champ. Can't wait to paint the body and take it to a local event.
Prof.**********cobi
Decent kit, but needed minor adjustments before running smoothly. Took time to dial in the driveline angles. Works well now, just wish it was plug-and-play.
Fil*******Feil
Perfect for technical trails. I upgraded the shocks later, but even stock, it performs incredibly well. Smooth steering response and reliable under heavy loads. A must-have for serious rock crawlers.
Cons********lich
Good kit, not perfect. Instructions were clear, but some hardware felt a little flimsy. Needed to reinforce a few mounting points. Performance-wise? Excellent grip and torque. Just wish a few components were beefier out of the box.
Jos*******rin
Exactly what I wanted. Goes anywhere, holds up well, and the modular build makes maintenance easy. Runs great with a 3S LiPo. One of my favorite builds so far.
Prof.**********Yost
This thing climbs walls—literally. I’ve tested it on 60-degree inclines with loose gravel and it just grips and goes. Tires provide amazing traction and the frame feels indestructible.
Alfo********ner
As someone who loves scale builds, this chassis is pure joy. Everything from the frame design to the axle placement screams authenticity. Runs perfectly with my LiPo setup. Got compliments from fellow hobbyists at the trailhead – total head-turner.
Alfo********ey V
Really impressed overall. Only deducted one star because the instructions could be clearer in the suspension linkage section. Once figured out, performance exceeded expectations.
Fur******th
Solid rig overall. Took a bit longer to assemble than expected, but once dialed in, performance was excellent. Had minor servo saver issue, but fixed with an aftermarket part. Still worth every penny for the level of realism.
Rash*********rford
Solid kit with clean details. Took about three hours to complete setup with careful wiring. Once done, it powered up first try and crawled over logs and rocks like they weren’t there.
