I am slowly building up my prototype... Very impressed so far though I am at a stand-still without any axles and tranny.

hi is this chassi really good for scale looking rigs but would it look good with 2.2 wheels and tires on i don't like the 1.9s they look too small and the axles look huge compared to them. i like how the rigs look and who it make the rig more scaler to me. does the chassi have good articliation? |

The chassis can be setup with whatever rims and tires you want. The 1.9s are just used because they are more to scale then 2.2 rims on most all bodies we run. Articulation is based on whatever shocks you use and how you have them placed.

Chassis' have come in, they are being anodized right now. The bare aluminum just wasn't up to TCS standards. The anodizing will make them look extra sharp for all of you. Final cost will be in as soon as the they are back from anodizing. Soon guys, thanks everyone for being patient. These will be worth the wait, and they perform as good as they look. |

Still no clues or hints on what kind of chassis parts are coming, give us something.  A servo mount maybe? What else??

| A hardware kit will be available soon too. The kit will include some some longer bolts that can be used on the shock mounts and some various other hardware pieces. Details on the hardware will come later. The ETA as of right now is 11/06/07, this is an estimate of course though. The first batch is already at the coaters and more have been ordered. Order yours now so you can get in on the first batch Everyone has been great with the positive comments and we hope that you will all be very happy with your new TCS X-Trail. Any questions feel free to PM me with your question and e-mail address. I can respond much faster to e-mails then I can PM's. Thanks again! |

We are are in the early stages on some pretty cool parts for the X-Trail and the Axial in general. And someone said something earlier about a servo mount, yes one will be available soon. It was in prototyping last I checked. I do not know the details on it yet other then it is for chassis mounting the servo (I was not the designer on this piece). As soon as I do know I will update all of you. Glad to see you guys pre-ordering, it should not be a long wait. |

| I understand that there are 2 ore 3 different frame sizes, I pre order mine, but there was nothing to let them know which one I want. How will you guys be working the specifics ? |

Thats freaking sweet. I've been considering an AX10 for a while and this may be just enough to push me over the edge.
