Axial 1/10 SCX10 III Jeep Cherokee XJ 4X4 RTR

A True Jeep Legend. Built for the Trail.

From 1984 to 2001, the Jeep Cherokee XJ changed the way people looked at off-road vehicles. Its lightweight unibody construction, compact dimensions and short wheelbase gave it a unique combination of agility and capability that quickly earned it legendary status on the trail.

The Axial SCX10 III Jeep Cherokee XJ 4X4 RTR brings the character of the iconic 2001 Cherokee XJ to 1/10 scale, combining authentic Jeep styling with the proven engineering of the SCX10 III platform.

This is far more than a generic SUV body mounted on a crawler chassis. With its officially licensed XJ body, BFGoodrich Krawler T/A KX tires, KMC wheels, realistic accessories and purpose-built rock-crawling hardware, this model has been designed to capture the attitude and capability of the original.

At Aerobertics, we love RC models that have a story behind them — and the Cherokee XJ has plenty of it. The combination of unmistakable Jeep character and serious SCX10 III trail performance makes this one of those models that looks right at home both on the shelf and out on the rocks.

Authentic Cherokee XJ Styling

Axial has recreated the second-generation Cherokee XJ with carefully reproduced proportions and body lines.

The durable polycarbonate body comes factory painted and assembled in authentic Forest Green Pearl or Stone White, giving the model an unmistakable 2001-era appearance.

Scale details are completed by a range of officially licensed components, including:

• BFGoodrich Krawler T/A KX tires
• KMC KM444 MESA wheels
• WARN EVO10-S scale winch
• DirtBound front bumper
• Machined aluminum Factor 55 Hawse Fairlead

The result is a convincing scale Cherokee with the purposeful look of a properly equipped full-size trail rig.

SCX10 III Rock-Crawling Performance

Underneath the body lies a rugged steel C-channel chassis designed specifically for demanding trail driving.

The SCX10 III platform combines AR45 straight axles, 6 mm stainless-steel suspension links, metal pivot balls and oil-filled shocks with aluminum threaded bodies.

The suspension geometry is engineered to provide controlled articulation and predictable handling across rocks, loose surfaces and uneven terrain.

LCXU DIG Transmission

One of the standout features of this Cherokee XJ is the LCXU DIG transmission.

The factory-installed DIG servo allows the rear drivetrain to be locked through the transmitter's third channel, giving you additional control when negotiating tight technical sections.

Using DIG can help reduce the turning radius and provides another useful tool for positioning the vehicle precisely on challenging obstacles.

The transmission features all-metal internal gears and full ball bearings for durability and smooth operation.

4WD Drivetrain & Straight Axles

The SCX10 III Cherokee XJ uses a full-time 4WD drivetrain combined with AR45 straight axles.

This setup provides reliable traction across demanding terrain while maintaining the classic solid-axle appearance and behavior associated with serious trail rigs.

The adjustable metal Panhard mount also provides additional setup flexibility, including compatibility considerations for both straight-axle and portal-axle configurations.

Tunable Oil-Filled Shocks

The model is equipped with oil-filled shocks featuring aluminum threaded bodies and single coilover springs.

Their adjustable design allows the suspension to be tuned to suit different terrain and driving styles, from technical rock crawling to faster trail runs.

Officially Licensed Trail Hardware

Axial has gone well beyond the body when it comes to scale authenticity.

The Cherokee XJ features officially licensed components from some of the most recognizable names in off-road equipment:

BFGoodrich Krawler T/A KX TiresSoft-compound tires with an aggressive tread pattern designed for demanding all-terrain use.

KMC KM444 MESA WheelsOfficially licensed wheels that complement the XJ's rugged trail appearance.

WARN EVO10-S Scale WinchA non-functional scale representation of the EVO10-S, adding authentic recovery-equipment styling to the front of the Cherokee.

DirtBound Front Bumper & Factor 55 FairleadThe combination of the DirtBound bumper and machined aluminum Factor 55 Hawse Fairlead completes the recovery-ready look.

LED Lighting for Night Crawling

The Cherokee XJ is equipped with a bright LED lighting system, adding both realism and practical visibility for low-light trail sessions.

Whether you're crawling at dusk or setting up a nighttime trail run, the lighting brings the XJ to life.

Spektrum Electronics

The RTR package includes a complete Spektrum radio system:

• Spektrum SLT3 3-channel transmitter
• Spektrum SR515 receiver
• Spektrum Firma 40A waterproof brushed ESC
• Spektrum S683 steering servo with steel output gear
• SX108PM DIG micro servo

The third transmitter channel provides direct control of the DIG system.

Power comes from the proven Axial Slick Rock 35-turn 540-size brushed motor, delivering the controlled torque required for trail and crawling applications.

Ready-To-Run Convenience

The SCX10 III Jeep Cherokee XJ arrives fully assembled and painted, so there is no complex build required before hitting the trail.

Simply install the required battery and charger, and you're ready to drive.

The chassis is also compatible with shorty battery packs, with support for 3S LiPo power.
