TCS trail MRC chasis

[MRCCRAWLER1.9]

right now my Mini comp, the GC-3 has been sitting on my desk for awhile, but ive been using it still. but alot of locals have been running scale so i was planning to mod my MRC into a scale kit after the mini crawling season is over..

does anyone know the Wheelbase length? thanks

The wheel base for what? Scale rules or the stock MRC?

Wheelbase is adjustable on that chassis.

Here's the info straight from TCS page about the chassis:

TCS Crawlers L-Trail TM side plates only. CNC cut from 1/8" aluminum and black anodized. This chassis can extend the stock wheelbase by 1.5 inches in 1/4 inch increments. Requires 6mm spacers between the skidplate and the chassis so upper links can be mounted to the inside of the chassis (not included). Use traxxas servo mount #2715 in the "extra" holes provided near the shock mounts and center of the chassis to mount body posts vertically.

So according to the above info, the wheelbase is adjustable starting from the stock wheelbase of 8.5" and can be lengthened in 1/4" increments up to 1.5" longer than stock all with the existing lower links. If you make your own links, you can make whatever wheelbase you want.

They do this so you can match the wheelbase to the body you plan to use.

is it possible to use a 4-link on it?

also, does anyone run this chassis?

Did you search the forum to see if anyone ran it? Maybe in the scale section?


I gave you the wheelbase:

adjustible between 8.5" and 11" in 1/4" increments. With custom links you can have any wheelbase you want. You'll want to set the wheelbase to the body you use.

If you can do a 3-link, you can do a 4-link. The limitation is at the axle, you'll need ot get an axle plate that allows 4-link.


This is total spoonfeeding, and I have given you enough info to get started.

Ill look again, but i tried last night and could not find any builds on the TCS chassis.

Yes, i did read the wheelbase, but i asked if anyone ran it, not the dimensions again.

i was just trying to make sure, just incase.. no need to be a dick about it.

Sorry, I thought you posted that you wanted to know what wheelbase people have ran. Honestly not sure where I got that from.

I'd browse the 1.55 and 1.9 scale sections, since most people building these will post there.

I wasn't intending to be a dick about it, and I am sorry if it came off that way.

the wheel base is from 8.5 to 10 at the axle nut the chassis end to end is 13 5/8 long you will need spacers inbetween the skid plate if you want the links on the inside of the chassis the one problem i ran into was buying to tall of a tire it hit the chassis when at full turn so i bought wheel spacers youll also need to chassis mount the servo so its out of the way of the shocks
