GPM Racing Alloy 6061-T6 Center Transmission Skid Plate and Upper Link Mounts for Axial SCX10 III Jeep Wrangler Rubicon (SCX3038BA)

Precision centre gearbox case and mount

This 23pcs aluminium centre gearbox case and mount is specified for scale RC applications on Axial SCX10 III platforms to protect the centre transmission and reinforce suspension pick-up interfaces. The component is identified as SCX3038BA for RC use.

Manufactured from 6061-T6 aluminium and precision machined, the housing uses a hollowed profile to reduce mass while increasing external surface area to aid passive heat dispersion from adjacent driveline components. Threaded bosses and multiple mounting points deliver adaptable fitment for different drive orientations and link routing without chassis modification.

Assembly guidance: use the included stainless steel fasteners, verify alignment before final torque and tighten progressively to avoid cross-threading or stressing plastic bosses. The kit includes both round and flat head stainless screws in assorted lengths intended to match the supplied mounting locations.

Performance notes: installing the case strengthens lateral chassis stiffness around the centre section and improves mechanical protection for the centre gearbox. These changes affect chassis feedback on technical terrain and should be integrated as part of a measured tuning approach focused on durability and handling consistency.

For hobbyists seeking a precision aluminium upgrade to safeguard the centre transmission and tighten link geometry on SCX10 III chassis, the SCX3038BA delivers engineered mounting points and supplied hardware for direct aftermarket installation.

What inspection should be done before installation?

Confirm chassis mounting hole alignment, check link clearances and clean mating surfaces. Ensure fasteners seat flush before applying final torque.

How does the aluminium profile influence thermal transfer?

The hollowed 3D profile lowers mass while expanding external area, improving conduction and convective cooling for nearby driveline components under load.

Are any chassis modifications required?

The design targets direct aftermarket fitment to Axial AXI03007 SCX10 III variants; no chassis cutting is intended, though verifying hole patterns is recommended prior to final assembly.

Recommended torque approach?

Tighten progressively to a firm hand torque and avoid high-impact wrenches on plastic bosses; incremental tightening prevents cross-threading and stress concentration. Write Product Review Please sign in your account before you can write any review. Sign In Close
