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.
