i was wondering when and where will these be available to buy?

Yes that is the Eclipse. The Edge will also be released around the same time.

And then of course there is the L-Trail.

I don't know that a definite timeframe is set but I would expect the next couple months for the tubers.

Oh yeah, and just think "Affordable" "thumbsup"

argh! i cant wait!

does tcs need any test drivers for the mini tubers?

*wink *wink

harley does the Ltrail keep the wheelbase the same? looks good I like it.. "thumbsup"

we need to find out a date 4 them:shock:

It looks longer. Look at the spacing between the lower links.

yeah I noticed after the post :lol:

Man those are great! I can't wait. I'm gonna get one for myself for sure!"thumbsup"

I just wish you guys would work with Local HobbyShops...it would be great to have TCS stuff on the shelf.

That's the a proto.

I'd expect the final chassis to have an adjustable wheelbase like the X-Trail.

If you look at the image you can see mounting holes for the stock lower links. A slight change to the chassis for upper link mount points and it's a done deal.

The Eclipse is killer but the side panels look a tad small.

One of those perks of Team TCS ;-)

Oh no! The wheelbase questions have started already! (A joke from the original X-Trail thread with the AX-10)

As JIA stated, this is a proto and I would expect an adjustable design. The WB range has NOT been set yet. We will post as soon as we have finalized the design.

Should be in the 6 to 8 week timeframe.

However, do NOT bombard the store with emails. They will be posted for sale when they are IN STOCK, do not expect to be able to pre-order. We are as excited for these as you are! I plan on building a second one just for this frame.

Wow...now there's a nice little line up! Decisions, decisions...

how about a free agent?

or a tuber testing mercenary that will gladly pay for the job?

yeah i was leaning toward the eclipse too. looks like there would be more room to mount electronics

they should just shorten the upper links to make the side pannel a bit longer. another thought would be a four link setup w/ shorter upper links. not only would the side panel look more prportional w/ the body but u'll get the added benefits of the a four link set up that many of us have come to know and love.

now that seems like an idea that would come from a Team TCS driver.

The way we are able to bring you all such affordable tubers is by making them work with as many stock parts as possible. Changing the upper links is just not going to happen due to how much more it would add to the kit.

I am sure a 4 link will be done soon but it will be to retain the stock geometry so that it would work with all stock replacement style chassis' and such.

These look amazing and will really enhance the fun factor of the mini's.

Well done!

I did the 4 link a few days ago, works well!

Any idea of pricing? Specifically the mini trail chassis?
