Overview

Even casual automotive enthusiasts instantly recognize the Chevy K10 pickup. Although its straight-lined appearance earned it the "square body" nickname, the iconic truck was also among the first C/K generations to be optimized by computers and wind tunnels for lower drag and improved fuel economy. The result was a beautiful and rugged classic that you can now drive for yourself with the Axial SCX10 III Base Camp 1982 Chevy K10.

Offered in a proven ready-to-run package, the Base Camp K10 is easy to get going and goes almost anywhere — just like the full-size truck, which could be found driving over country roads, farm fields, and wooded trails before ending the day parked on Main Street. Designed more for Americana-inspired off-road fun than performing technical climbs and precarious sidehills, the Base Camp K10 is ideal for anyone. It's a great first crawler and a fantastic addition to every longtime Axial fan's fleet.

The officially licensed Proline Chevy K10 stepside body comes expertly factory-painted and detailed. Axial matches the accurate scale looks with equally impressive durability and performance. The SCX10 III steel C-channel chassis is strong, realistic, and easy to maintain. Included AR45 portal axles add high ground clearance. The rugged LCXU transmission, with full ball bearings and all-metal internal gears, works with portal or standard axles. And the list goes on, with an optimized suspension, tunable oil-filled shocks, a trail-tough drivetrain, and much more.

For more RTR convenience, the Base Camp K10 power system — featuring a Dynamite 35T brushed motor and Spektrum 40A brushed ESC — also arrives factory-installed, and the supplied Spektrum SLT3 radio is ready to deliver dependable 2.4GHz control. Just add your choice of 2S or 3S LiPo battery and take the wheel of this classic American truck!

OPTIMIZED SUSPENSION GEOMETRY

The oil-filled shocks have aluminum threaded bodies and a single coilover spring. The shocks are tunable for achieving the best dampening rate.

 

FALKEN WILDPEAK M/T TIRES
