Axial SCX10 III Coyote 4X4 RTR Brushed Rock Crawler – Overview

You don’t need to overspend to enjoy serious trail performance. The Axial SCX10 III Coyote 4X4 delivers outstanding crawling capabilities at a price that makes it equally attractive for seasoned enthusiasts and newcomers to the hobby. Topped with a factory-finished Pro-Line Coyote body, this rig combines rugged engineering with scale realism for a package that’s ready for both trails and competitions.

More than just a refreshed SCX10 III, the Coyote brings carefully engineered upgrades to elevate performance. New oil-filled shocks and redesigned shock towers offer greater suspension tuning. Overdrive gears in the front axle improve steering precision and climbing ability, while low-drag sliders ensure a smoother glide over obstacles. Licensed Maxxis Trepador tires paired with KMC Grenade wheels and dual-stage open cell foam inserts deliver a balance of scale looks and trail-ready grip. A new forward-mounted battery tray optimizes weight distribution for improved balance and stability.

The clipless Pro-Line Coyote body not only enhances realism by eliminating body clips, but also provides easy access to the chassis with a hinged rear mount. The body’s pinched nose, dovetailed sides, and bobbed tail maximize clearance for tires and suspension movement, while making it easier to pass through tight gates and technical terrain.

Underneath, proven SCX10 III engineering ensures durability and control. A steel C-channel chassis reduces flex, while the LCXU transmission with all-metal gears and full ball bearings delivers reliability on rough terrain. AR45P portal axles provide additional ground clearance to clear rocks and roots with ease.

The ready-to-run package includes a Spektrum SLT2 2-channel radio, designed for drivers of all levels. Beginners benefit from throttle limiting at 50% or 75% power until they’re confident to unleash full performance. A waterproof Spektrum ESC, high-torque servo, and 35T 540 brushed motor are already factory-installed, so you can hit the trails with minimal setup. Just add your preferred 2S or 3S LiPo battery and charger, and you’re ready to explore.

At Aerobertics, we especially appreciate the Coyote’s balance of performance, realism, and value. Whether this is your first crawler or your next competition rig, the SCX10 III Coyote makes it easy to enjoy the best of the hobby without compromise.

PRO-LINE COYOTE BODY

Created by Pro-Line, the factory-painted Coyote polycarbonate body offers more than trail- and comp-ready looks. It mounts without any body clips and can be completely removed for easy chassis access. The body is contoured to slip through obstacles and allow ample tire clearance and suspension articulation.

Licensed Maxxis Tires & KMC Grenade Wheels

The Coyote’s officially licensed Maxxis Trepador tires add to the rig’s realistic looks and high-performance crawling capabilities. Dual stage, open cell foam inserts are included, with soft outer foam and firm inner foam to improve grip and sidewall support. KMC Grenade wheels are loaded with detail and their one-piece design is light weight and durable.

COIL-OVER SHOCKS

The competition-style composite smooth body shocks improve tire clearance and provide smooth, predictable handling over any terrain. These pro-inspired shocks combine the right amount of support and droop for a level of performance not typically seen in RTRs.

OPTIMIZED SUSPENSION

The SCX10 III Coyote’s multi-link, solid axle suspension features 6mm stainless steel links and all-metal pivot balls for off-road durability.
