Overview

After WWII ended, the hard-working Willys-Overland military Jeep re-emerged as a popular commercial utility vehicle — designated “CJ” for “civilian Jeep”. The CJ-7 model, introduced in 1976, became a favorite for rock crawling and continued in production until being replaced by the Jeep Wrangler in 1987. It remains the most iconic rock crawler of all time.

More than any other vehicle, the Jeep CJ-7 symbolizes off-road adventure. Now, at last, it’s ready for RC expeditions in an officially licensed scale version built on the successful Axial SCX10 III chassis.

For every dedicated RC crawling enthusiast, the SCX10 III Jeep CJ-7 is an essential addition to your collection of Axial rigs. For Jeep enthusiasts without or without RC experience, it’s an exciting new way to bring your off-road dreams to life. The CJ-7 captures everything you admire about the full-size Jeep in both looks and performance.

While the SCX10 III Jeep CJ-7 comes engineered and equipped to take on any trail, it’s the incredible scale detail that will have Axial fans eager to make it the canvas for their next rock crawling masterpiece. In addition to the officially licensed Jeep CJ-7 body, this rig features officially licensed Gen-Right bumpers and body armor, a full interior with opening center console, a roll cage, and more. Even the wheels and tires add to its authenticity. The wheels are officially licensed Raceline Daytona beadlocks, and the high-traction tires are officially licensed Micky Thompson Baja Boss treads.

As part of the Axial SCX10 III family, of course, the CJ-7 is as capable as it is detailed. It’s right at home out on the trail navigating scale-appropriate rock crawling obstacles. Adding to the precise handling and proven durability of the SCX10 III platform is a transmitter-activated Dig function for improved turning and control. The Dig servo is included and installed.

The SCX10 III Jeep CJ-7 arrives fully finished and ready-to-run with a factory-installed, brushed power system and Spektrum DX3 Smart transmitter. Just add your choice of 2-3S LiPo battery and charger. With a Spektrum Smart battery, you can take advantage of the radio system’s Smart technology capabilities — such as following your battery’s power status in real time right from the DX3 transmitter.

OFFICIALLY LICENSED JEEP CJ-7 BODY

Made of durable polycarbonate, the officially licensed and factory-finished CJ-7 scale body comes richly detailed with officially licensed Gen-Right bumpers and body armor, a full injection-molded roll cage, plus a full interior including an opening center console. The doors can be opened or even removed.

 

SCX10 III STEEL C-CHANNEL CHASSIS

The CJ-7 is built on the proven, realistic Axial SCX10 III platform. Its steel C-channel chassis reduces frame flexing and increases the precision of suspension movement.

 

AR45 STANDARD AXLES

You’ll find another example of this rig’s scale realism in its AR45 standard straight axles, which mirror the axles used on the full-size CJ-7. The AR45 Straight Axles with offset front differential provide true scale looks and a low center of gravity. An optional overdrive gear is available separately (6-Bolt 27 8 Overdrive Gear Set, AXI332001).

 

ALUMINUM ADJUSTABLE COIL-OVER SHOCKS

The oil-filled shocks have aluminum threaded bodies and a single coil-over spring. The shocks are tunable for achieving the best overall setup.

 

DIG FUNCTION

With the transmission’s Dig function, you can instantly switch to front-wheel-drive by locking the rear axle from your transmitter for improved turning and control. The Dig servo is included and installed.

 

OPTIMIZED SUSPENSION

The multi-link solid axle suspension features 6mm stainless steel links and all-metal pivot balls for off-road durability.

 

ALL-METAL GEARS

The CJ-7 transmission includes a full set of ball bearings and all-metal internal gears for the strength you need on the trails.

 

INSTALLED POWER SYSTEM

Factory-installed, the brushed power system features a Dynamite 35T 540-size motor and Spektrum Firma 40A Smart 2-in-1 ESC and Receiver unit.

 

OFFICIALLY LICENSED WHEELS & TIRES

Mounted on officially licensed Raceline Daytona beadlock wheels, the officially licensed Mickey Thompson Baja Boss R35 compound tires find secure footing wherever you crawl.

 

ADDITIONAL SCALE DETAILS INCLUDED

Axial designers had fun with this one. Additional scale details include a functional center console, removable coffee tumbler and soda can, transfer case twin stick shifters, automatic transmission shifter, bucket seats with slots for optional seatbelt harnesses, folding side view mirrors, and more!

 

 

SPEKTRUM DX3 SMART TRANSMITTER

Together, the Spektrum DX3 Smart transmitter and Firma 40A Smart 2-in-1 ESC and Receiver offer such Smart technology benefits as showing the real-time power status of an on-board Smart LiPo battery. The radio system’s third channel operates the CJ-7 Dig feature.
