Key Features
- Lexus GX 470 Scale Design — This body faithfully replicates the distinctive proportions and styling cues of the real-world Lexus GX 470 SUV, delivering authentic scale representation that appeals to both RC enthusiasts and vehicle fans alike. The accurate body lines and distinctive grille ensure your SCX24 crawler turns heads at the RC park or trail.
- White Finish — The clean white colour scheme offers outstanding visibility during daylight running and provides an excellent canvas for applying custom decals, liveries and personalisation. White bodies are prized by RC enthusiasts for their ability to showcase aftermarket upgrade details and accessories clearly.
- Designed for SCX24 Platform — This body is engineered specifically to fit Axial's SCX24 micro-scale crawler chassis, ensuring perfect fitment without requiring modifications or adapters. This compatibility guarantee means you can install the body with confidence knowing it will align perfectly with your existing setup.
- Compatible with Standard RC Car UK Customisation — Like all quality replacement body shells for remote control cars in the UK, this Lexus body allows you to maintain all the performance characteristics of your existing drivetrain whilst achieving a completely different visual presentation. Perfect for creating multiple themed crawlers from a single chassis platform.
Technical Performance
The AXIAL SCX24 Lexus GX 470 body shell is manufactured using durable materials engineered to withstand the rigours of regular RC crawler operation. The body is designed for the micro-scale 1/24 category, making it an exceptionally compact and manoeuvrable option for tight trail running and indoor venues. As a replacement bodyshell, this product focuses on aesthetic and scale accuracy rather than performance metrics like speed or acceleration, since it integrates with your existing SCX24 drivetrain which handles all mechanical performance. The body is built to resist impacts from rocky terrain and minor bash damage that occurs during typical RC crawler sessions, whilst maintaining the detailed scale proportions that make the Lexus GX 470 instantly recognisable. The integration with the SCX24 platform means you benefit from that chassis's proven engineering, reliability and capability, whilst upgrading the visual profile of your vehicle. Installation is straightforward, allowing you to swap between different body shells if you wish to create multiple themed crawlers from a single running gear set.
