I 've had this one for a long time. I think there was a IFS option but I am not sure.

Here are a couple more photos:

I believe this is the Villain IFS of which you speak:

whoa IFS is neat, like a scaled down mini Eagle!

did it weigh too much to be any nett benefit?

I don't know these are Internet pictures I had saved, probably was some downside to the IFS just really cool engineering exercise. Delta did the 1/12 Super Phaser and Associated had their version of the 1/12th RC12i mono-shock front end upgrade that really is cool but not practical.

we dabbled with ABC Super Hero X1 back in 1982... yeah "full suspension" didn't offer enough benefit to negate its weight & space costs in a tiny little 1/12th

Same era campaigning Delta Super-Js... tried red Eagle & red PB Alpha. With larger gassers & higher track speeds, suspension did help more but the 2 red cars were let down by fragile plastics. Not long after we moved over to Serpent Quattros... these were much tougher & ran rings around pan cars heck the early Quattros didn't even use shockers!
