Hot Bodies 68700 TCX 1/10th Electric Touring car kit

IN STOCK NOW!

The main goal of the TCX chassis design was to place all components as close as possible to the center line while maintaining the left-to-right balance with the latest LiPo technology.

Motor Moved 4.5mm Inside
To move the heaviest items (the motor, servo and electronics) closer to the centre line of the car, also know as reducing the moment of inertia, a whole new layout of the chassis and the drive train is required. The configuration of the drive belts in the TCX has been reversed to create more room for the electronics to shift inwards. In addition to the radio gear moving inwards the unique TCX design also allows the motor to move by 4.5 mm, making a huge difference in overall weight distribution.

The Best-Ever Hot Bodies Touring Car
OK, ending the physics lesson, to put it in pure and simple terms, the TCX has been designed with all of the above factors taken into account, driven by former IFMAR World Champions Atsushi Hara and Andy Moore at tracks around the world to make the it a first class racing machine.

We will present to you the facts of the TCX design so you can see how it is an almost completely new car from the ground up, and how we feel it will make YOU the local champion.

All-New Chassis
The TCX chassis is extra-narrow, more narrow than the TC car, helping to prevent any rubbing in tight corners, which would scrub off speed and make the car pitch unexpectedly from side to side. The 2.5mm woven graphite was chosen precisely for the TCX and is of the highest possible quality. A moulded battery holder is included for racers who prefer to not use strapping tape to hold their battery packs in place
