Axial Jeep Cherokee body & aluminium upgrades
Axial have introduced the 2000 Jeep Cherokee bodyshell as well as several aluminium option parts for AR60 axles, and shock option parts. Starting with the bodyshell, the replica of the 2000 Jeep Cherokee resembles one of the most iconic SUVs on the market and it comes made from clear .040 polycarbonate material. A variety of decals are included allowing to customise the look of the XJ. The decals are precut and also included are window masks for easy painting. The moulded front grill assembly makes for quick work when installing an optional LED light assembly and coupled with the included headlight and turn signal lenses gives that extra bit of detail. Main head light buckets are designed for 5mm LED bulbs while the turn signal buckets are designed for 3mm LED bulbs.
Next up are several aluminium option parts for vehicles with AR60 axles assemblies. The steering upgrade kit replaces the stock steering links for increased steering strength and precision. It includes alloy steering links and all necessary hardware. Also new is a machined high-clearance differential cover. A direct replacement for the stock plastic cover the part offers a hard-anodised surface for durability and cool looks. Another new part are the machined AR60 servo plate and mounts set. Again hard-anodised the part makes for more precise servo mounting. Also a AR60-specific option part are the hard-anodised link mounts. Coming in sets of two the CNC-machined parts replace the standard composite mounts for more precise and durable ones. Last but not least for all AR60 axle trucks are machined steering knuckles. Made from 6061 aluminium, as all of the above alloy parts, the knuckles increase strength for improved durability and more steering authority. The parts are hard anodised for wear and sport laser-etched Axial logos. Also coming from Axial is a range of aluminium shock option parts as are the blue anodised King shocks alloy caps and collars set, black or blue anodised 12mm aluminium shock spring retainers for all Axial 10mm shocks as well as well as optional SCX10 shock springs in the form of the grey-coloured 3.03lbs, 1.70lbs and 0.70lbs variants along a blue 2.78lbs spring for the Yeti range of trucks.
