Axial AXI03007 SCX10 III Jeep Wrangler center gear box case and mount by GPM SCX3038BA  [SCX3038BA]

Center gear box case and mount

This is an aluminum center gear box case and mount set for scale RC applications, designed to protect the center transmission and stabilise surrounding components on Axial SCX10 III platforms. The assembly is a 23pcs aftermarket replacement produced by GPM and identified as SCX3038BA, intended for RC use only.

The main body is machined from 6061-T6 aluminum for a balance of light weight and tensile strength, and features a 3D hollowed profile that reduces mass while offering additional surface area that can aid heat dissipation from nearby driveline parts. Multiple threaded holes and mounting points provide flexibility to fit different drive orientations and suspension link routings without modifying the chassis.

Installation notes: use the supplied stainless steel screws and verify alignment before final torque to avoid cross-threading. The set includes round and flat head stainless screws in the sizes listed below which match factory mounting locations on compatible Axial SCX10 III variants. As with any aftermarket aluminium component, tighten incrementally and avoid over-torquing into plastic bosses.

How it affects tuning: fitting this case improves mechanical protection for the center gearbox and adds lateral stiffness between the center section and suspension pick-ups, which can change feedback and feel on technical trails. It is a component-level upgrade for durability and chassis consistency rather than a performance power upgrade.

For builders seeking a lightweight aluminum option to protect the center transmission and tighten up chassis link stability on SCX10 III rigs, this GPM SCX3038BA set provides the mounting points and hardware needed for a direct aftermarket replacement.
