Creating Your Own Custom SCX24 Body Style

When the trail became difficult, we lowered the CGs on both of our crawlers to help keep them anchored to the rocks and upgraded the electronics to improve performance and manage the additional weight. Finally, for longevity and aesthetics, we replaced the original SCX24 tires and wheels. In order to change these small rigs, now is an excellent opportunity to experiment with body upgrades and customization possibilities.

Let's Start with Scale Accessories for the Axial SCX24

Before we start, specific improvements are designed for particular Axial SCX24 body variants. Therefore, it is unlikely that the roof rack designed for the SCX24 Jeep Wrangler will fit your Axial SCX24 Chevy C10. It's just something to consider while looking at accessories.

Although scale accessories improve appearance and design, they don't continually improve performance. In this case, we should begin at the bottom and work our way up.

SCX24 Jeep Wrangler Fender Set

The first few improvements focus on improved scale details, similar to the RC4WD Jeep Wrangler inner fender kit. This sturdy nylon fender set is a fantastic way to give the SCX24 Jeep more depth and protection.

SCX24 C10 Chevrolet Fender Set

You will be pleased to learn that this inner fender set from RC4WD will bolt up easily if you own an SCX Chevy C10 vehicle. It blocks off those wheel wells underneath the body to provide a more genuine, fully blacked-out appearance.

Bumper Sets for any SCX24 Crawler

An attractive addition to any SCX24 crawler is this black anodized front bumper from Xtra Speed. It replaces the factory-supplied plastic one and is made of lightweight aluminum. LED lights can be added thanks to the recessed holes.

Hot Racing produces an SCX24 bumper with light bucket pockets and a red anodized D-ring shackle to offer robust style and even more scale realism. This bumper features a winch fairlead, 3mm LED lights, and billet CNC machined aluminum for increased robustness.

Both bumpers will offer a little extra weight up front for uphill climbs and help protect the front of your rig.

Rock Sliders for the SCX24 C10 Chevy

Would you like additional protection over those rocks? These rock sliders are ideal for the Chevrolet crawler SCX24 C10. It is a fantastic technique to add strength and detail because it is made of 3D printed nylon.

RC4WD produces two sidestep sliders for the Jeep Wrangler kits. To install these sliders, though, you will need the RC4WD inner fenders we previously discussed.

LED Light Kits for SCX24 Crawlers

These RC4WD functional headlights are yet another fantastic addition to the Jeep Wrangler body designs. This headlamp set (1) includes the lenses, LEDs, and the 3D-printed headlight component. These lights connect directly to the ESC receiver device and are simple to install.

The RC4WD exhaust snorkel (2) is located on the left. It bolts on with just one screw and is quite simple to install. Additionally, we equipped our SCX24 Jeep Wrangler with three RC4WD side mirrors. The mirror appears realistic thanks to the shiny decals. These additions are painted thanks to RC4WD 3D printing. Additionally, they are lightweight, which is essential to consider while looking at the RC4WD roof racks (4).

Top it off with Scale Roof Racks.

Ordinarily, adding weight to the very top point of your SCX24 body raises the center of gravity, which goes against everything we talked about in previous articles. However, the roof rack we selected is super lightweight, and we are not adding any extra weight to it, so it should be fine. We just had to add it to our Jeep!

Only the SCX24 Jeep Wrangler is compatible with the three roof rack versions that RC4WD manufactures.

The before and after photos of our SCX24 Jeep makeover are finally here. The performance improvements have made it stable on the rocks, and we believe it looks pretty damn fantastic.

Scaler Accessories for our Deadbolt

The 1/24 scale accessories from Scale By Chris are impressive if you want to add personalized accents. If your shipments include a range of products, you could want trailside assistance. Enjoy browsing through their extensive selection of scaler customization options, which number in the hundreds.

One set of accessories includes a fire extinguisher, shovel, and pick. We needed it to finish our upgraded Axial SCX24 Deadbolt since it is designed to clip onto the cage.
