Default jdawg's TCS C-Trail (in progress)
I got a TCS C-Trail and wanted to do something different with it. Here is what I have so far. It is a work in progress and I may change things as I go.

Thanks guys. It is the TCS C-Trail chassis designed for the Cliff Climber.

http://www.tcscrawlers.com/TCS-Crawl...r-p-17202.html

They are Cliff Climber axles with modified axle mounts and Tamiya Highlift leafs. Cliff Climber shocks without springs. Axial stub axles with DTX aluminum knuckles to narrow it up.

That's what I meant.


Is it possible to post some details of lower shock mounts (as seen on pic nr.2) ?
