From 1984 to 2001, the Jeep Cherokee XJ rewrote the off-road rulebook with its lightweight unibody design and nimble short wheelbase. The Axial SCX10 III Jeep Cherokee XJ RC Rock Crawler brings that no-nonsense attitude to 1/10 scale with an officially licensed second-generation body, painted and assembled with exact proportions and real body lines. Genuine BFGoodrich Krawler T/A KX tyres wrap around licensed KMC KM444 MESA wheels, while a WARN EVO10-S scale winch, a rugged DirtBound front bumper and a machined aluminium Factor 55 hawse fairlead complete the recovery-ready look. Bright white headlights, yellow running lights and detailed taillights keep the realism going long after sunset.
Underneath the iconic shell sits a rigid one-piece steel C-channel chassis paired with sturdy AR45 straight axles, 6mm stainless steel links and plush oil-filled shocks with threaded aluminium bodies. The clever LCXU DIG transmission locks the rear wheels at the flick of a switch on the Spektrum SLT3 transmitter, pivoting the rig through tight rocky lines with ease. A punchy Axial Slick Rock 35-turn motor and a waterproof Spektrum Firma 40A ESC supply smooth, dependable crawling power, while a strong S683 steel-geared servo turns the big tyres without hesitation. Whether you are a seasoned tinkerer or a Jeep fan picking up your first RC rock crawler, this ready-to-run package is built to hit the trail straight away.
