Thanks for the comments guys.
The car has the TCP upgrade fitted hence the black arms and the dogbone drive shafts,
but with parts left over from the chassis change and other parts collected I,ve almost got
a second car built, just want some shocks

you can still buy the teflon shocks from tower hobbies, not big bore, but they are very smooth.

Whilst going through the loft looking for the next build, came across this bag of shocks.
I,ll be able to finish the stock car now and use that as a runner and still keep the carbon
one for the shelf

Nice job, the buggy looks great! Much better on CF!
Not that you need to know this since you found all the parts for the shocks, but the Traxxas aluminum shock set for the Slash is a direct replacement for what came on the TRX-3/TCP. (minus the springs) The set can be found for $40 or less on the bay.
I really need to get mine done! All I really lack is paint and decals.

Repo body and undertray available now for Trx3
The sides have been altered so they are deeper now.
The first one was a bit shallow, see pic in first post.
1mm lexan used as the Trx1

Great looking TRX3s! I have a somewhat funny question, how does the body stay on with no front body mount/clip?
