TCP is the only racing era Traxxas that I didn't buy new and race back in the day. The body is soaking in DOT4, all the screws have been replaced with OEM correct, I put the rear tower back on, all the rod ends have been replaced with white. That wing/ tower set up is staying til I find original parts.
Might as well take the Delrin gearset out of it too while you're at it
I'm getting my first modern runner in many years and am retiring some of the old ladies.
But before they get their well deserved shelf rest, I'm making sure they look their best... and this TCP needed a new dress desperately.
I planned to use the...

Thanks.
With a shorty lipo there's plenty room for the electronics ;)
The wheels are from the radicator: I found them better looking in combination with this body.
I've had this car for a while now, keeping it untouched on the shelf while trying to figure out how I could put some personal touches on it.
It wasn't easy; there's not even beaten paths for these cars; too good out of the box, too unpopular for...

well there's allways the cheap option I'm using (I only put the RB5 parts on to show you guys).
The stock ultima dogbones and HPI axle (5X37 or 38mm something) work real fine.
The original ultima axles wouldn't: the conical hex would push on the...
IDK how I do it lol. But I'm the proud owner of a TCP now. Got it for $125 shipped!
Only thing I'm missing is the original body, wing wire(Bandits should work), the dog bones(probably nearly impossible to find) and the TCP long front...

I just got this and its amlmost complete... I need a NIP body and front long black a-arms if anyone has anything for this car I would love to hear about it as I need a few parts beyond those listed. Any help would be great. Thanks to temple for the...

Thanks Cedric, I have one of those as well. Both the TRX1 and TRX3.
Thanks to this fantastic site, I have been able to pick up a TCP in great condition.
I didnt take photos of it during the tear down (literally just wiped it clean and used hex hardware if I had the right bolt in the box).
Plans:
To build a...

I got the ZX5/RB5 wing mounts. They are 1mm off from the spacing between the existing holes, but I would mount it a little higher anyway.
I think you can easily get away with only 1 pair of extra holes.
I wouldn't actually be surprised if the previous owner would be a forum member actually ;)
Anyways - this is a gorgeous TCP, which as all of you know :mrgreen: is a TRX3 with the choice of short/long...

Wow to cool......Had my eye on that same exact TRX-3/TCP. Was just kinda browising the BST's on that site and almost contacted the seller to see what kinda deal we could strike.
But being in the US, It would of ended up just too much $$ for me....
This was another one that I managed to get done over this past weekend. I think this car is totally under-rated. I love how this thing goes together. Quality of the parts, I think, are superior to Associated and Losi. I like the plated hinge pins...

I really like this car too. I have it on my wishlist. Totally underrated and way under the radar for a vintage racing buggy.
