Harley's TCS X-Trail

this a really cool chassis but i think droop doesnt work will. to me is there any way to put spring on there and not leaf spring.

I think droop actually works very well, especially for scale rigs since you can set your ride height at the lowest point.

However, you could set this chassis up with a traditional sprung setup but I would suggest shorter shocks. The stock axial shocks are pretty long.

Leafs could also be put on the chassis pretty easily. Wouldn't take much work at all, some caster blocks might be needed since the top of the axle is not flat in the stock configuration due to the clocked knuckles.
 
The prototypes will be very cheap but we will have to wait to give an update on pricing of the final versions.

Once we get feedback from people running the prototype chassis we will finalize it and move into production. Hopefully this process will be quick.

That is the beauty of this hobby, there is a million different ways to set your own truck up. This is only one example. TCS took a stock Axial kit and a awesome TCS chassis and instantly you have a scaler. The rest is up to your imagination. Good Luck

Dear sweet god those are nice. I realy like the ones mounted in the first pic. Very sexy.
 
New to the sport...What size tires will this use? I am gonna buy a second ax10 to build this thing.Very nice.
 
i personally think the tread on the axial rock lizards looks more scale than the moabs. just yesterday i saw a truck and an suv with all terrain tires ant they had tread that looked like the lizards. i would love to see that in 1.9 at some point. and at some point i hear they will be putting the sticky lizards in the kit. so you probably wont need to buy new tires for a scale look unless you want 1.9's

How do you get this dull color look? Is it painted on the outside? What kind of paint? Doorhandle, Blazer emblem? Is this the HPI Geolander tires? That is great looking. Some of these rigs are right up my alley, & this is one of them"thumbsup".

The body is painted on the outside, along with a rust color on the inside. So when it gets beat up on the rocks it will look like an old beater truck. I don't know the brands of paint because NLUVWITHXLR8ING painter it.

The wheels and tires are Narrowed HPI Geolanders and narrowed pede wheels. I ordered 1.9 mud slingers sunday though.
 
Could you produce these for those with Derlin Erickson's please?

Derlin on Derlin would be freaking awsome. Make them the same as the Erickson rings with the machined lip on the backside.
