Trinity Revolver 12 Magic Carpet Ride
I've wanted one of these for a long time and finally found one that wasn't in the best condition. But I tore it down to clean the rusty hardware and removed super glue globs that were on and around the edge of the chassis. I added new body posts, Magic spur gear, fiberglass rollover antenna, purple aluminum angled servo mounts, Trinity purple aluminum clevis' and TRC ZR-1 mounted foams. Electronics are next on the list and I have a Protoform Nissan P-35 painted by Andy's that needs drilled.

Re: Trinity Revolver 12 Magic Carpet Ride
Is that shock in the front to make the bracing between left an right sides adjustable stiffness? Tuned flex? That is an awesome 12th scale.

Re: Trinity Revolver 12 Magic Carpet Ride
I honestly don't know much about the design aspect of the front suspension. But there are spacers on the kingpins where springs would normally go on a regular Revolver.Frankentruck wrote: ↑Sun Feb 13, 2022 2:26 pm Is that shock in the front to make the bracing between left an right sides adjustable stiffness?

...does he owe you any money? A rowdy pack of RC nerds could probably pay him a visit.coxbros1 wrote: ↑Sun Feb 13, 2022 5:24 pmDid u notice he just said lazy, no mention of not having enough money.....I knew it!THEYTOOKMYTHUMB wrote: ↑Sun Feb 13, 2022 2:56 pm Another awesome one!

So what sort of electronics is this sweet roller getting? Got a loose V.E. speed control sitting around by any chance?

Re: Trinity Revolver 12 Magic Carpet Ride
I'm going with a Novak Hammer Pro & Polaris, Trinity Championship mod & either Pushed P-170's or Ex-Tech 1700 SCRC's and an Airtronics 94143 servo.Frankentruck wrote: ↑Sun Feb 13, 2022 5:35 pm So what sort of electronics is this sweet roller getting?

Re: Trinity Revolver 12 Magic Carpet Ride
Zr1’s are so sexy. The magic carpet is has to be my favorite of the the 1/12 trinity cars. The mono front end is just lovely.
I cant believe that chassis is used, great work jeremy.

Re: Trinity Revolver 12 Magic Carpet Ride
I finished up this build today by adding an Airtronics 94143 servo, Novak Hammer Pro esc & Polaris receiver, and a Trinity Championship mod motor & Ex-Tech 1700 SCRC cells. I drilled the Protoform Nissan P-35 body and shortened the front body posts slightly. I believe this body was painted by Andy but there's no signature to verify it.
