Trinity Switchblade 10 Pro10

Build right out of the box with a sprinkling of purple EV-10 Deluxe bits.

I replaced the original rear axle by a titanium rear axle I had, because I like to run my pancars with a thrust bearing and the threaded portion of the original axle was too short for that. Missing one stand-off because it was improperly manufactured causing the screw to break as I tried to screw it in :cry:

Nice looking car. What length standoff are you missing, I might have one.

Old post but bringing this one back.

That is a sexy car :shock:

I'm bringing a well used Switchblade 10 back to life to run at our local track. I previously ran a thrown together Evolution 10 on the track before the grip went away, and I must say it was the craziest most hooked up thing I've ever seen or driven. 7700 kv castle on 2s lipo with 80% drag brake. The car had no set up on it but man did it hook.

Now that our track is getting revamped, the fact the evolution has been archived, and that grip should return I'm looking forward to getting the switchblade on the track. I just need to buy a rear axle for it and although it's probably never going to be as fast it's getting a boosted 6.5T Hobbywing V2.1.

Nothing wrong with resurrecting an old post; I missed this one, and I agree--that's one dead-sexy pan car! 8)

My Brother has one of these hanging on his wall in his study. I can still remember him running it at a state meeting in 1999 and placing 3rd. Awesome car especially with a 10x2 over 4 minutes :D

1999, I didn't think pivot ball cars were around then. I must be living in the stone ages.

Although my car is nothing to write home about and the chassis is less than perfect I made a lipo conversion that uses all existing holes. I also bought a new IRS axle for it today so it's almost ready to hit the track. I just need to make battery straps and it's good to go :D

All pivot cars are basically copying the Trinity Evolution 10 (1994) and some other cars.

My favourite Trinity remains the SwitchBlade 2 oval car (t-bar or pivot with the same chassis, purple parts, sparkly purple carbon fiber).
