The TCXX will come with our newly designed 2.5mm narrow main chassis. After tons of testing in R&D, we figured that this chassis covers very wide range of the track condition so we picked this one as kit std chassis.
The solid chassis (almost no cut-out) that you have menioned will also be available as an option item. The thickness of this chassis is 2.25mm which is 0.25mm thiner than kit std chassis but it has way less cut-out, so i would say it is about the same stiffness for the sideway. However, this optional chassis provides less flex front to back. I think it is nice to have both chassis and use whichever the best for the race condition. (which is pretty much what our team is doing)
There are many other new features on the TCXX such as new uuper deck, new motor mount w/rear belt tentioner, Hex shape locking style center pulleys, new sway bars, new suspension blocks,new servo mounts, new longer steering cranks, new shock spring adjusters and retainers, new shock stand-offs, new shock pistons, new steering knuckles and rear hubs, our own new gear diff, etc...
Thanks,

Yes, i'm actually entering all the info on the new tcxx setup sheet now. I'm trying to fix the problem on the editable pdf format (can't save the records for some reason) right now but i will post them as soon as they are ready.
Thanks for your patience.

I do not see on the new tcxx the Ti-Nitride shock shafts, hinge pins, and low friction shock bodies come in the kit.

No, they won't be in the TCXX kit. But we have very much confidence with the kit standard spec so you should be happy with all the parts come with the kit.
Thank you.
