This aluminium centre gearbox case and mounting set is designed for scale RC use on Axial SCX10 III rigs to protect the centre transmission and support adjacent link points. The kit is a 23pcs aftermarket replacement carrying the identification SCX3038BA for hobby RC use only.
Fabricated from 6061-T6 aluminium, the case is machined with a hollowed profile that trims weight while creating extra surface area to assist heat dissipation from nearby driveline parts. Multiple threaded holes and mounting pads provide fitment flexibility for different drive orientations and suspension routing without modifying the chassis.
Fitting advice: use the supplied stainless steel fasteners and confirm alignment before final torque to avoid cross-threading. The set contains round and flat head stainless screws in various lengths to match the mounting positions on compatible Axial SCX10 III variants. Tighten in stages and avoid over-torquing into plastic bosses.
Chassis impact: installing the case increases mechanical protection for the centre gearbox and raises lateral stiffness between the centre section and suspension pick-ups, which may change trail feedback. Consider this a structural durability upgrade rather than a power enhancement.
