Harley's "On the Edge" - New TCS Tuber
 

This will be my personal build thread using the first Edge tuber to hit the market. The Edge tube chassis is available immediately through www.tcscrawlers.com.

Chassis Features:

• Direct bolt-on for your AX-10
• Removable skid plate for easy access to the transmission (uses stock skid plate or upgraded TCS skid)
• Black durable powder coated finish
• Unique tube chassis styling
• Professionally fabricated

Special Features:

Many Complete Panel Artwork Sets Available:
The artwork seen on this tuber was professionally done by a local KC Graphic Artist/Crawler, Neal Cahil. Once the design was finished up it was printed onto vinyl and applied to the panels. Kits will be available soon through TCS; there will be many designs to choose from and at a great price. You will be able to have an amazing looking finish on your rig for little more than it would cost you to buy the paint at your LHS! At the end of the season (or any time) if you are tired of the look of your rig just peal it off and buy a new set with an insane new design. Pre-cut body panel kits will also be available through the store. PM Freq E Tag or myself to inquire about custom artwork.

Other New Products used in this build:

Delrin Center Skid Plate for Inboard Links:
This is the first prototype of the new skid plate that will soon be available through The Crawler Store. This features a strong design that is very light weight, it has pockets CNC milled to allow you to mount your lower links inside the chassis. With the use of button head screws on the outside you can get a nice smooth transition across the chassis. Look for these soon at http://www.tcscrawlers.com/Proto-Tester-TCS-Upgraded-Skid-Plate-for-Axial-AX-10-Scorpion-p-16695.html

Black Link Kit:
Also a new part available through The Crawler Store, these allow you to get rid of the green on your truck and replace it with an amazing black anodized finish. I wanted the artwork and the tube frame to really stand out, therefore I wanted a stealth look for most of the parts on the rig so they would not draw too much attention. These do that while still looking great. Plus there is no better finish then anodizing for taking a beating on the rocks and still looking great. Get them here http://www.tcscrawlers.com/TCS-Black-Link-Kit-for-Axial-AX10-Scorpion-p-16691.html

Monster Delrin Rock Rings:
Personalize your rig with a set of these new rock rings that will be available soon through The Crawler Store. These bolt right on to your AX-10 stock wheels with the original hardware. Have you stripped the holes on your orginall wheels? Get the hardware upgrade kit http://www.tcscrawlers.com/TCS-Large-Hardware-for-Axial-2.2-Rockster-Beadlock-Wheels-p-16605.html. The kit gives you all new hardware with a slightly larger and more coarse thread to give you a better hold on the bead of your tires. Many designs available, check them all out here: http://www.tcscrawlers.com/Rock-Rings-p-1-c-80.html

"thumbsup"

Great idea! I bet those sell like pancakes!

Cool, whoever you have designing those things should get a big fat bonus for sure. Great job TSC."thumbsup"

I don't see why it wouldn't, the hustler uses a similer bottom half for its mounting holes.

You can all thank Kamikaze for this outstanding design. He did a great job on it! Thanks man.

No thank you, for getting affordable tubers to the masses."thumbsup""thumbsup"

Thanks everyone!

Jeff you did a great job!

The rig is performing very well so far. I am going to run it hard this week and get it completely dialed in.

thanks kamikaze now all I need is the extra funds and one is on the way to my house. does it come with the panels?

Panel sets and artwork will cost extra. They should be available soon.

Looks like a great team effort! Thanks guys, it looks sweet "thumbsup".

Just ordered mine!!!

Just ordered mine. I was literarily about to order one of the Gopher tuber and I refreshed the TCS page and saw it. I'm so glad I waited to place my order until this evening. This tuber looks much better than the Gopher IMO. Will these ship out tomorrow or after New Years?
Thanks to everyone that has a hand in making this stuff available to us."thumbsup"

Best first post ever "thumbsup"

Just ordered mine also, I also was about to order something different, then spotted this one, took me about 30 seconds to decide, WAY too COOL, TCS ROCKS! "thumbsup"

My favorite part about the design is when it flips over backwards you can just stay in the gas and it will flip back on its wheels.

Ordering mine now.


Looks amazing!

Just a side though.. Maybe get braided Servo wire Saver as an even cleaner, matching touch?

:idea:This is a great production frame.:idea:


I WILL be ordering one. You cant beat that price either! ;-)

The simplicity is near genius !!!!

TCS by far the best company out for us crawlers. Always expanding there game !

Way to go Crawler store!
