TSS SCXHR Chassis
The Scale Shop is very proud to release our all new SCX High Clearance chassis. This chassis fixes all the issues with the aging SCX10 chassis. Version 4 now fits BOTH the SCX10 AND the SCX10 II !



SCX10 dimensions and all factory mount points precisely replicated

Uses your existing skid, braces, and hardware

Front and rear "arches" raised 1/2"

More suspension up travel and full compression at any ride height

More clearance for CMS and panhard rods

Eliminates axles and upper links hitting chassis rails

Integrated shock towers

Dual raised upper link mounts, one positive and one negative anti-squat setup

More shock mounting options

Dual Bumper mounting positions, stock and raised 1/2"

Twice the torsional rigidity of stock frame

Comes in raw 12 gauge steel or 8 gauge aluminum ready for paint or welding

Combine with our TSS Smooth Skid for the Ultimate Performance Package! (OG SCX10 only)

Made in the USA



Version 4 now adds:

SCX10 II Compatibility

Laser Cut

SCX10 II Transmission mount holes

Adjustable Height Skid mount holes

More shock mount holes including both SCX10 1 & 2 stock locations









Combine with our TSS Smooth Skid for the Ultimate Performance Chassis for your SCX10 or Custom Build. (OG SCX10 only)

Build/Assembly Pics:

This is the all new Version 2 of the SCXHR chassis. V2 features a lowered skid and shock tower brace holes added, along with a few other small tweaks.

Ill be using a TSS SCX10 "Smooth Skid" for the build, but a stock skid assembly is 90% the same.

grab your rails, skid and 8 screws.


I like to install all 8 screws but not tighten them all the way down. Then once they are all in, tighten them the last couple turns starting with the 4 skid plate screws.


next up add your mid braces

That's slick, I like it!

now add your sliders. since the upper links are moved to the built in risers for better geometry, no need to bolt on your links with the sliders any more.


next up, time for links. with the TSS Smooth Skid, back out your skid screws and install the lowers. with a stock skid, add your lowers to there normal spots below the rails.
attach upper links to the new risers on the rails. shortening may be required.

Think I just found my new chassis. That looks awesome

[STANG KILLA SS]

now onto mounting shocks, axles, and body mounts.

first up take your old plastic shock hoops, and cut them like below.


now theres two ways to go about mounting the shocks and body mounts.

Method #1
mount your shocks to the rails with a spacer, and use the body mounts on the backside/ inside.


or Method #2
use the body mounts as spacers and put a nut on the inside.


and now you've got a slider


more to come....

Will the body posts line up with existing holes in the body?

[STANG KILLA SS]

I will have to put together a scx10 chassis and do some measureing

I really like it, Cory! Great idea! I realize this is probably getting greedy, but have you considered a longer wheelbase version for the 1/8th scale JK body? Would that be possible to special order? Just curious.

Would it be possible to fit 60mm +/- long motor and not interfere with upper links?

Thanks, Eric! Hook me up, Cory!

just measured. it would be close with that long of a motor @ 2.36". would depend on the end bell style. you could also drop the front links down to stock position, or drill lower holes in the front risers.
a smaller spur gear could also do the trick.

a standard 540 has about .4" of clearance

Hey Cory another option on the body mounting if guys don't want to cut down their shock towers is on the SCX10 body mount parts tree AX80031 (which is in every kit I think) are 6 individual body post mounts.


They're easy & if inside the chassis are very close to the stock post width.
They can tend to pivot though, it depends a bit on bumpers etc

[STANG KILLA SS]

great tip! I think I have some of those. only disadvantage I see to those is possibly the body posts not being held vertical, ie can twist.
I definatly like there simplicity.

For Homles brushless motor. It around 60mm long

Yes they can twist, though depending on where they're located on the chassis you can drill another hole & stack a 2nd mount under the first (so the body post goes through 2 mounts), only have to do it for 1 post & that will stop them twisting.

Nice write up and instructions on the chassis.

Here is the Cherokee I built, using this chassis. The additional uptravel is great and being steel, the chassis is a blank canvas for custom builds. Extra upper link adjustments are great too.
