Overview
The AXIAL Shock Set Complete (2): 1/10 SCX10 PRO Z-AXI233036 represents premium suspension engineering for one of the most respected RC crawler platforms on the market. This complete shock set is designed specifically for the SCX10 PRO Comp Scaler, delivering the adjustable dampening control and durability that serious scale enthusiasts demand. Whether you're an experienced RC car UK hobbyist looking to upgrade your suspension geometry or a dedicated trail crawler seeking maximum performance on rocky terrain, this suspension upgrade offers the precision tuning capabilities that set high-end RC vehicles apart from basic ready to run RC models.
The SCX10 platform has been the staple vehicle choice for RC scale trailing enthusiasts worldwide for more than a decade, recognised for its heavy-duty performance in demanding off-road conditions. This complete shock set maintains that legacy of reliability whilst offering the adjustability needed for serious competition and challenging terrain. The shocks feature threaded shock bodies that allow you to fine-tune the dampening rate, giving you precise control over how your RC crawler responds to bumps, climbs and technical obstacles. These are not basic suspension components—they represent the engineering sophistication that Axial builds into every element of the SCX10 PRO platform.
Compatible with the Axial SCX10 PRO Comp Scaler kit, this shock set is an essential component for anyone serious about maximising their RC vehicle's performance. The set includes two complete shocks with all necessary hardware, ready for installation. Whether you're performing routine maintenance, upgrading from worn components, or fine-tuning your suspension setup for specific terrain conditions, these shocks deliver the consistent performance that RC crawlers need when tackling miles of challenging off-road terrain.
Key Features
- Oil-Filled Coilover Design — The shocks feature adjustable oil-filled coilover construction, which provides superior dampening control compared to basic shock designs and allows you to absorb impacts more effectively across varying terrain types whilst maintaining consistent performance throughout your trail sessions.
- Threaded Shock Bodies — The threaded construction enables precise tuning of the dampening rate, meaning you can adjust compression and rebound characteristics to match your specific driving style, terrain conditions and vehicle setup without needing to replace the entire shock assembly.
- Complete Two-Shock Set — This package supplies both shocks needed for front and rear suspension, ensuring matched performance across your entire RC crawler and eliminating the need to purchase additional components separately.
- SCX10 PRO Platform Engineering — Designed specifically for the SCX10 PRO Comp Scaler, these shocks integrate seamlessly with the proven suspension geometry that reduces bump steer at the front whilst the rear 4-link reduces torque twist, providing optimal performance on off-camber climbs with proper anti-squat and roll characteristics.
- Realistic Shock Hoop Compatibility — The shocks mount within the realistic shock hoops that feature multiple shock mounting positions, allowing you to adjust your suspension for maximum performance and fine-tune ride height, stiffness and handling characteristics.
- High-Quality Bearings and Construction — Built with the same attention to durability found throughout the SCX10 platform, these shocks utilise quality internal components designed to withstand the demands of scale trailing and competitive RC crawling.
Technical Performance
The suspension system on the SCX10 platform represents some of the most sophisticated engineering in the RC crawler category. These oil-filled coilover shocks feature adjustable dampening control through threaded shock bodies, giving you the ability to fine-tune how the vehicle responds to terrain. The front suspension geometry has been specifically optimised to reduce bump steer—a critical consideration when navigating rocky terrain at scale speeds—whilst the rear 4-link suspension design reduces torque twist and provides proper anti-squat and roll characteristics for steep off-camber climbs. The shocks work in concert with the realistic shock hoops that feature multiple mounting positions, allowing suspension adjustments without sacrificing the authentic appearance that serious scale enthusiasts demand. The SCX10 platform chassis itself is constructed from high-strength steel with cross bracing for rigidity, paired with an adjustable wheelbase that can be tuned from 11.4 inches to 12.3 inches using optional link kits sold separately. The suspension components utilise metal dogbones, helical cut internal gears and quality bearings throughout the drivetrain. With the WB8 HD Wildboar 3-piece front and rear driveshafts featuring larger diameter cross pins and M4 screw shafts, the entire drivetrain delivers the strength and durability required for serious RC crawling. Whether you're running competition-level crawling speeds or more aggressive trail adventures, these shock sets provide the suspension performance foundation that makes the SCX10 PRO one of the most capable RC crawler platforms available.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Are these shocks compatible with other SCX10 versions or just the PRO? — These shocks are specifically designed for the Axial SCX10 PRO Comp Scaler (model C-AXI03028). Whilst the SCX10 platform has been refined through multiple generations from the original through SCX10 III, compatibility can vary between versions. Always verify compatibility with your specific vehicle model before purchasing suspension components.
- Can I adjust the dampening on these shocks? — Yes, one of the key advantages of this shock set is the threaded shock bodies which allow you to adjust the dampening rate. This means you can tune the compression and rebound characteristics to suit your specific terrain, driving style and vehicle setup without replacing the entire shock assembly.
- How do these shocks improve my RC crawler's performance? — Oil-filled coilover shocks provide superior impact absorption and consistent dampening compared to basic shock designs. The adjustable tuning allows you to optimise how your vehicle responds to bumps and terrain obstacles. Combined with the SCX10's optimised suspension geometry that reduces bump steer and torque twist, quality shocks are essential for reliable performance on challenging rocky terrain where scale trailing takes you miles from home.
- Do I need special tools to install these shocks? — The SCX10 platform is recognised for simplified design that makes maintenance and assembly quick and easy. All hex hardware means you'll be using standard hex tools found in most RC enthusiast toolkits. The shock hoops feature multiple mounting positions, giving you flexibility in setup without requiring exotic specialised tools.
- What is the difference between oil-filled and non-oil-filled shocks? — Oil-filled shocks provide superior dampening control and consistency, preventing performance degradation that can occur with air-filled designs. The oil absorbs energy more effectively, giving you more predictable handling and better control over how your RC crawler responds to terrain, which is particularly important when tackling technical obstacles.
- Will upgrading to this shock set noticeably improve my crawler? — If you're running older or worn shocks, upgrading to a quality complete shock set with adjustable dampening will provide noticeable improvements in handling, bump absorption and overall terrain responsiveness. The ability to tune dampening rate also means you can optimise performance for specific conditions rather than accepting a one-size-fits-all setup.
