Can anyone tell me more of the front end on this chassis?

this is Trinity Revolover , the IFS design came from Bill Campbell of Delta back to 1985/86.
You need to put the setscrews on the front lower arms to make the "down-stop" setup. Otherwise it is hard to drive.

That's not a standard Revolver/Delta front end, though. Personally, I have never seen that setup anywhere before. Very cool.

the bulkhead (purple one) is an option, not from Delta nor Trinity. The Delta one is a plastic.

I have both Delta IFS Super Phaser & this Trinity Revolver cars in my home :lol:

As do I... and that lower bulkhead and suspension setup is not factory stock. I don't know who made it, but it's not Trinity.

Sounds pretty reasonable to me, but whoever actually made it, it's just cool 8)

Yeah the bulkheads are actually made of steel, I noticed it as the anodizing is "shiny" and there is a little surface rust on the lower bulkhead.

Thanks for the info

That car was called the Magic Carpet Ride, which replaced the Revolver 12
