In the beginning, it was known as "Project Roswell." And although we don’t claim to have designed the new TC3 with the help of any "alien technology," we did venture into design and manufacturing techniques far beyond where we’d ever gone before.
We started with a clean slate, designing the TC3 from the ground up specifically as a touring car, not a converted 4WD buggy. An all new, computer-optimized shaft drive system proved to be the most efficient, durable, and serviceable drive train possible, and eliminated the design compromises inherent in belt-drive systems. The TC3 uses our race-proven, carbide-ball equipped Associated differentials and MIP CVD’s both front and rear for a smooth transfer of power. Pro-Line’s new spoke design, standard hex-mount wheels with their V-Rage tires enable the TC3 to hook up on most any track. Kimbrough gears are used in all kit TC3s.
TC3 Team Kit
The TC3 Team kit includes "Factory Team" blue titanium turnbuckles,
PTFE-sealed and rubber-sealed ball bearings, blue-anodized aluminum-bodied
VCS Macro Shocks, Kimbrough spur gears, and blue-anodized
MIP CVDs. If you
want to both go fast and look good, this kit is it!
The chassis has been computer-optimized for maximum rigidity and minimal torsional flex.
Droop screws help adjust front and rear suspension arm droop with the included droop gauge.
Kimbrough spur gears are included in all kits.
2-piece aluminum motor mount features a built-in heat sink.
Pro-Line spoke-pattern wheel that mounts to industry standard hex-hub
adapters. (Wheels not included in Factory Team Kit.)
Multiple choices for tie-rod mounting positions.
Front and rear chassis braces are 2-piece for easy, 6-bolt differential
access.
Camber, toe-in, caster, kickup (front anti-squat), and anti-squat are all
adjustable.
Front and rear bumpers have been designed for maximum shock absorption. In
addition, a featherweight foam bumper is included in all kits.
