Key Features

- Complete Four-Piece Set — The package includes front left, front right, rear left, and rear right fender flares, providing comprehensive coverage for all four wheel arches and allowing you to achieve a perfectly finished aesthetic without needing to source additional parts from multiple retailers.

- Scale Authenticity and Visual Impact — The fender flares are moulded to replicate the iconic wide-track styling of the original Early Ford Bronco, significantly enhancing the scale appearance of your RC model and creating that instantly recognisable vintage off-road truck aesthetic that enthusiasts love.
- Lightweight Design — At just 1.01oz (28.8g) total weight across all four pieces, these fender flares add minimal mass to your crawler, maintaining excellent weight distribution and ensuring no negative impact on suspension performance, approach angles, or off-road capability.
- Compatible with Other RC4WD Accessories — These fender flares work perfectly alongside the broader RC4WD Bronco upgrade ecosystem, allowing you to layer detail additions such as winch bumpers, tube cages, door kits, hood scoops, light bars, and interior accessories to create a fully detailed, competition-grade scale model.

Technical Performance
These RC4WD fender flares represent meticulous engineering focused on scale accuracy and durability rather than mechanical performance. The nylon material selection is deliberate—nylon offers an excellent balance of strength-to-weight ratio, impact resistance, and longevity that makes it ideal for RC scale accessories that must survive rough terrain and occasional contact with obstacles. At just 28.8g combined weight, the four-piece set adds negligible mass to your SCX10 III, ensuring that suspension geometry, weight distribution, and approach angles remain optimised for crawling performance. The moulding process creates consistent wall thickness throughout each flare, preventing weak points whilst maintaining the lightweight profile. For UK-based RC enthusiasts building detailed crawlers, these flares perfectly complement the Axial SCX10 III Early Ford Bronco platform, which is recognised as one of the finest ready-to-run scale crawler bases available. The flares' construction allows them to absorb minor impacts during trail use without cracking or deforming permanently, maintaining their appearance through extended seasons of RC use. Whether you're running articulation courses, navigating rocky trails, or displaying your rig at RC events, these fender flares provide the durability and aesthetic presence that serious scale builders demand.

Compatibility and Fitment
These RC4WD fender flares are engineered specifically for the Axial SCX10 III Early Ford Bronco platform and are not compatible with other SCX10 variants or different RC crawler bases. The Early Ford Bronco body profile and wheel arch geometry are unique to this platform, making precise fitment essential. If you own a different Axial model or earlier SCX10 generation, please verify compatibility before purchasing. For UK customers uncertain about fitment, RC Model Shop's expert team are happy to confirm compatibility with your specific vehicle configuration.
Frequently Asked Questions
- Will these fender flares fit my Axial SCX10 III Early Ford Bronco without modification? — Yes, these RC4WD fender flares are engineered specifically for the Axial SCX10 III Early Ford Bronco and bolt directly onto the vehicle without requiring any cutting, trimming, or modification to the chassis or body. Installation should take only a few minutes using standard RC tools.
- Can I use these fender flares with aftermarket bumpers and other RC4WD accessories? — Absolutely. These fender flares are designed to work seamlessly alongside the broader RC4WD Bronco accessory ecosystem, including the Oxer Steel Front Winch Bumper (VVV-C1293), Windshield Guard (VVV-C1281), Rear Tube Cage (VVV-C1282), Tube Front Doors (VVV-C1283), Hood Scoop (VVV-C1271), and other detail components, allowing you to build a comprehensive, fully detailed scale model.
- How much weight do these fender flares add to my crawler? — The complete four-piece set weighs just 1.01oz (28.8g), which is negligible relative to the overall weight of the SCX10 III platform. This minimal mass addition ensures no negative impact on suspension performance, articulation, or off-road capability.
- Are these fender flares durable enough for regular trail use? — Yes. The flares are moulded from strong, durable nylon that resists impact, UV degradation, and the rigours of outdoor RC crawling. They will absorb minor impacts during trail use without cracking or permanent deformation, maintaining their appearance through extended seasons of use.
- Will these flares affect my vehicle's approach angles or ground clearance? — No. The fender flares are moulded to fit within the existing body profile of the SCX10 III Early Ford Bronco and do not extend beyond the standard wheel arches. Approach angles, departure angles, and breakover angle remain unaffected.
- What is the difference between RC4WD fender flares and the standard Axial body? — The stock Axial Early Ford Bronco body comes as a single painted shell, whereas these RC4WD fender flares are individual moulded pieces that add dimensional detail and dimensional authenticity to the wheel arches. They create a more scale-accurate representation of the original vehicle's wide-track styling whilst allowing you to maintain the original body if desired.
- Can these fender flares be painted or customised? — Nylon can be painted with appropriate RC body paint formulations, though the flares come unpainted and ready to accept paint or remain natural. Many builders paint them to match their body colour scheme or leave them in natural nylon for contrast. Customisation possibilities include painting, applying decals, or weathering for authentic trail-worn appearance.
- Are these suitable for beginners? — Yes, these fender flares are ideal for beginners interested in scale detailing. Installation requires no mechanical expertise, takes only a few minutes, and involves no modification to your vehicle. They represent an excellent entry point into the RC4WD accessory ecosystem and help new builders understand how detail upgrades enhance the scale appearance of their crawlers.
