Axial SCX24 Ford Bronco Hard Body 1/24 4WD RTR Scale Mini Crawler w/2.4GHz Radio, Battery & Charger

Overview 

The Axial SCX24 Ford Bronco Hard Body 1/24 4WD RTR Scale Mini Crawler brings the realism and capability of a full-size trail rig into a compact crawler designed for technical driving anywhere. Built on the proven SCX24 chassis, this small-scale rock crawler combines scale detail, strong crawling performance, and a durable drivetrain that allows it to tackle obstacles indoors or outdoors.

The SCX24 platform has become one of the most popular micro crawlers in the RC hobby because of its balance of size, durability, and upgrade potential. At 1/24 scale, the crawler is small enough to run inside your home yet capable enough for outdoor rock crawling on dirt, gravel, and trail terrain.

One of the most distinctive features of this model is its hard-body Ford Bronco shell, which provides realistic styling and increased durability compared with traditional polycarbonate bodies. The body captures the rugged appearance of the iconic off-road vehicle while adding weight that improves crawling traction.

Underneath the scale body is a crawler chassis built with steel frame rails, solid axles, and a four-wheel drive drivetrain. This configuration provides excellent torque delivery and climbing ability, allowing the vehicle to crawl over rocks, sticks, and uneven surfaces with ease.

Power comes from a Dynamite 88-turn brushed motor, which delivers strong low-speed torque ideal for crawling. This motor is paired with a Spektrum 10A brushed ESC and SLT receiver combo, providing smooth throttle control and reliable signal communication.

The SCX24 arrives fully assembled and ready to run. The package includes the crawler, a Spektrum SLT2 2.4GHz transmitter, a 350mAh LiPo battery, and a USB charger. With transmitter batteries already included, drivers can begin exploring immediately after charging the battery.

Available in White, Heritage Red, and Green, the Axial SCX24 Ford Bronco combines scale realism with dependable crawling performance. With a sale price of $149.99, it provides an accessible entry into the world of RC rock crawling while still appealing to experienced hobbyists.
