Low-profile axle protector for SCX10

This axle protector mount is produced for Axial Racing SCX10 chassis and is identified as model SCX168F/R. The design blends rigid aluminium plates with resilient plastic areas to provide concentrated protection at likely impact points while allowing controlled flex to reduce force passed into axle housings.

Intended for front and rear axle housings, the protector shields common impact zones and aids in preventing abrasion to link mounts and gear casings. It installs as a direct replacement so drivetrain geometry remains unchanged when correctly positioned on standard SCX10 bosses.

Installation follows usual SCX10 practices: remove the original cover, align the protector to existing screw bosses and tighten using suitable fasteners. The aluminium components deflect sharp impacts while the plastic elements help cushion repeated knocks; always confirm there is no contact with steering links across full articulation before final tightening.

Specifications

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

A sensible aftermarket choice to reduce axle face damage on SCX10 crawlers without extensive chassis changes; check your axle version for a match before purchase.

If your axle housing has been heavily modified the fit may differ; compare your boss locations to a stock SCX10 pattern to confirm compatibility.
With the mount loosely fitted, cycle your steering and suspension through full travel to ensure no contact occurs before final torquing of fasteners.
It helps deflect direct hits away from differential covers but is not a substitute for internal protection; combine with judicious driving and routine maintenance.
Regularly clean off grit and check screws for loosening; replace any plastic sections that show severe wear to maintain effective protection.
