Axial Manuals & User Guides

אַקסיאַל is a global leader in the radio control (RC) hobby industry, best known for creating the "scale crawling" category of RC vehicles. Owned by Horizon Hobby, Axial designs and manufactures realistic, high-performance adventure trucks and rock buggies that are engineered to tackle rugged outdoor terrain. Their product lineup includes popular platforms such as the SCX10, SCX24, Capra, and Ryft, which cater to both entry-level enthusiasts and competitive hobbyists.

The brand focuses on "RC Adventuring," encouraging users to take their vehicles on trails, rocks, and technical courses. Most Axial models feature water-resistant electronics and sophisticated suspension geometries. This category provides essential user manuals for ready-to-run (RTR) vehicles and build kits, ensuring hobbyists have the information needed for assembly, operation, and maintenance.

• How do I maintain my Axial vehicle after running in wet conditions?

  After running in water, mud, or snow, remove the battery and dry the vehicle using compressed air. Disassemble and lubricate the axle bearings, transmission gears, and drive train with water-displacing light oil to prevent corrosion. Do not spray oil directly into the electric motor.

• What do the LED lights on the charger indicate?

  On most Axial USB chargers, a solid Red LED indicates a valid connection or error check, solid Orange indicates charging is in progress, and solid Green indicates charging is complete. Flashing Orange/Green means the charger is ready.

• Are Axial vehicles waterproof?

  Axial vehicles often feature water-resistant electronics (ESC, receiver, and servos), allowing operation in puddles, snow, and rain. However, they are not fully waterproof and should not be submerged primarily to protect mechanical components like bearings and screws from corrosion.

• Where can I find replacement parts for my Axial crawler?

  Replacement parts are listed in the user manual specific to your model (e.g., SCX24 or SCX10). You can purchase these through the Axial Adventure website or authorized Horizon Hobby retailers.
