TRX Buggy Chassis ID Help needed

Post by drbelleville »

Well its been busy with work lately, and thanks to everyone that has helped me with the acquisition of a TRX1 Buggy and parts. Now I have come across another buggy, which at first I though was a TRX-1, yet I noticed the Steering Posts and Servo holes are different, as also the chassis shape. Other items were the Hard-coated shock bodies, a thicker front shock tower (app. 3mm) and they may have been installed afterwards - Steel outdrives.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Attached are a few pics of a TCP and the other two chassis for reference.

looks to me like a composite craft or similar replacement chassis for the trx3, maybe even a traxxas option. the chassis hole patterns seem to line up with the trx3 layout.

it looks like the Traxxas short wheelbase chassis.

Here's my old build thread with comparison shots
