Harley's TCS X-Trail

[MTHead]

Does anybody know the overall length of the short chassis? Is the wheelbase the same? Thanks

As Kevin said, the overall length is 13.0"..

The wheelbase is identical. All the link, tranny, and shock mounts
are the same between the X-Trail and XTS. The only difference is the
overall length. The XTS chassis is great for those shorter lexan
bodies like the land cruiser..

Builds are looking sweet guys "thumbsup"

wow, looks great..

i might have to get one now..

show a pic of its articulation please..

No problem, I will get one up tonight. It flexes really well 8)

The short chassis is 13" long.

Nluvwithxlr8ing, the trucks looking good!

Thanks man! I couldnt belive how simple and easy this thing went together. I did make my own hole in the shock tower for now, until I get slightly longer shocks so just ignore that :lol: Hopefully I will have it running tomorow!

Coming together nicely Nluvwithxlr8ing Soon as I find the time (hopefully this week), I'll be putting mine together. Still need some 1.9 beadlocks though.

What brand/size shocks are you running?

Thanks, they are 3 racing shocks for the mini inferno, 2.4" long I think... About the same size as TC shocks but a lot more travel

Well I have a few hours to work on it so here is the first update! Hopefully I will do a few more before I realize I need to get to bed

Flex shots, and the body I chose. Next shots will hopefully have a painted body and the start of the flat bed. Maybe some electronics installed?? I want to run it this Sunday :twisted:

that is amazing..will a maxx sized body fit to scale on the long frame

Yup they fit perfectly! This chassis has enough adjustability in it to go from 11" to 12"+ wheelbase "thumbsup"

 

[Brandon]

Well I had the choice to start on the bed or get it running... So I got it running :lol: Also let the first coat of paint dry on the cab, while I drove it of course

May I ask what wheels these are? got a link or part number?

I got them from a friend who found them on ebay. They are made by HPI and were in a very very old HPI package :shock: Thats all I really know about them, I might still have the package laying around somewhere, if I run into it I will let you know.

I did take this thing out to the rocks yesterday! I would have posted up last night but I was too busy working on this...

Hey Nluvwithxlr8ing, like your truck a lot! What brand & part # of shocks are you using? Is that just some delrin or aluminum side plates that you made for the electrics?

Hey Harley, will the production chassis come with the body mount side plates, or is it up to us to mount the body however we want? Thanks

 

[Op4guy]

I'm digging that full fame build. Makes me torn between a frame or tube frame but I will most likely go for a tube...until I build a second one.

They are 3racing shocks for the mini inferno. Thanks! Yeah the side plates I made, actually out of ABS but they work great and also gave me a nice rigid mount for the body too.

 

[Brandon]

Started on the flatbed tonight! Also finished the cab and cut down some losi claws to 1.9 :shock::mrgreen:

 

[smokinubyrc]

WTH!

brandon, call me the next time you need more then one driver all these scale trucks and not enough hands my brother! :shock:

[Harley]

Looking sick brandon!

The 1.9 claws look amazing.

I will get the pics of the shocks up soon guys, I am stuck posting from my phone most of the time. My old laptop is still being ghey and keeps crashing on me.

^^^^^Oh and did ILRCRC get banned??????

[drewswwn06@yaho]

Very nice builds guys. I am planning on one of those chassies and have been looking at the yeah racing shocks. Very nice products

Did you use the shorter front shocks & longer rears or 4 of the fronts, or 4 of the rears on the chassis?
