Conquer the Trail: Axial 1/10 SCX10 III Base Camp at The Thing Shop

For RC enthusiasts who crave the challenge of technical crawling and rugged off-road adventures, the Axial SCX10 III Base Camp is the crawler built for you. Simple, durable, and performance-driven, this 1/10 scale trail truck cuts out unnecessary extras and focuses on what matters most—serious trail capability at a more affordable price point. At The Thing Shop, we’re proud to bring the SCX10 III Base Camp to the thriving RC community in Atlantic Canada.

Why Choose the SCX10 III Base Camp?

The Base Camp is all about delivering maximum crawling performance while keeping things streamlined. Axial designed it as a back-to-basics crawler that performs right out of the box.

  • Proven SCX10 III Platform – Legendary durability and trail performance.

  • Single-Speed Transmission – Simplified drivetrain for reliability and consistent crawling torque.

  • Heavy-Duty AR45 Straight Axles – Provide excellent ground clearance and rugged trail strength.

  • All-Terrain Tires on 1.9” Wheels – Grip rocks, dirt, sand, and mud with ease.

  • Adjustable Wheelbase – Tune it to match your terrain or custom build needs.

  • Scale Realism – Molded details like bumpers, sliders, and realistic body styling complete the crawler look.

Base Camp vs. Full-Option SCX10 III

The SCX10 III lineup includes feature-packed models with dig units, 2-speed transmissions, and portal axles. The Base Camp strips things down to a lighter, more affordable package—perfect for drivers who want trail-proven performance without the extras.

  • Base Camp – Simpler, lighter, more budget-friendly, but still a capable trail machine.

  • Full SCX10 III (Jeep Wrangler, Gladiator, etc.) – More advanced features for scale builders and hardcore customizers.

Both share the same legendary Axial durability, making them fantastic options for any crawler collection.

Who Is the SCX10 III Base Camp For?

  • New RC Crawlers – Affordable entry into the Axial crawler family.

  • Trail Enthusiasts – Built tough to handle real-world terrain like rocks, roots, and hills.

  • Custom Builders – A solid platform for modifications, upgrades, and scale builds.
