Overview

The SCX10 has long been the RC platform of choice for scale trail enthusiasts. In 2022 introduced the SCX10 III Base Camp 4WD RTR and gave cost-conscious crawling fans the chance to enjoy its performance and realism. Now comes a new way to experience SCX10-based adventure — the SCX10 III Base Camp Builders Kit.

Kit building is a hobby perfectly suited for enthusiasts, many of whom are passionate about tinkering with and modifying their rigs. Theres no better starting point for your adventure build than the Base Camp Kit. Its a classic crawling platform that carries a wealth of proven quality and innovation.

Base Camp Kit advantages go well beyond the satisfaction of putting together your own rig. The assembly process makes you an expert on its engineering and a pro at maintenance and repairs. Youre also able to express your individuality by choosing a body style you like and finishing it however you wish. By adding your personal preference in tires, wheels, and electronics, you create a custom crawler inside and out. Compared to buying an RTR rig that comes fully equipped, the kit ensures you wont pay for anything that you may not use.

Better still, the Base Camp Kit isnt just an unassembled version of the RTR rig. Its an improved Base Camp. The transmission can be externally locked in standard 4WD, but it also has an optional, servo-actuated dig feature. Robust 6mm stainless steel links are included, as well as Standard AR45 straight axles. If you prefer portal axles, the LCXU transmission makes it easy to switch.
