Axial SCX10 III 1982 Chevy K10 Base Camp 1/10 4WD RTR RC Rock Crawler – Blue

The Axial 1/10 SCX10 III Base Camp 1982 Chevy K10 Ready to Run RC Crawler replicates the iconic 1982 Chevy K10 pickup, blending scale realism with trail-ready performance. Built on the SCX10 III chassis with a Dynamite 35T brushed motor and AR45 portal axles, this RC crawler navigates diverse terrains. Its pre-painted Proline body and Spektrum SLT3 radio make it a versatile off-road RC car for enthusiasts.

Performance

The SCX10 III chassis features a steel C-channel frame and AR45 portal axles, providing high ground clearance and torque for crawling over rocks or trails. The Dynamite 35T brushed motor and Spektrum 40A ESC, supporting 2S–3S LiPo or 6-cell NiMH, deliver speeds up to ~10 mph. The LCXU transmission with metal gears ensures durability, while adjustable oil-filled shocks offer precise handling. Some users report ESC failures after extended use, requiring replacements. Traction may be limited on loose dirt without tire upgrades.

Design and Features

The officially licensed Proline Chevy K10 stepside body, pre-painted in blue, features detailed bumpers and hidden clips for a clean look. The chassis supports a low center of gravity, with 1.9” Falken Wildpeak M/T tires on beadlock-style wheels for grip. The body may scratch during rough crawls, and no LED lights are included, though aftermarket options exist. Extensive upgrade parts, like brass weights, enhance performance.

Ease of Use and Maintenance

The Spektrum SLT3 2.4GHz radio provides reliable control, suitable for beginners. The truck requires a 2S/3S LiPo or 6-cell NiMH battery and charger (not included), offering 20–30-minute runtimes. Maintenance is straightforward with accessible components, though small screws may strip. Water-resistant electronics allow light wet use, but submersion is not advised.

Special Notes: This is a Ready to Run model, fully assembled with a blue Chevy K10 body and four AA transmitter batteries included. Requires a 2S/3S LiPo or 6-cell NiMH battery and charger. Suitable for ages 14+ with aftermarket upgrades.
