Call Helger, they are the UK importer for Trinity and should have the parts or be able to order them from trinity for you. As for set up. I have the 2000 Spashett Ed. Switchblade and normally run with -2 degrees caster, no toe (in or out), camber adjusted to keep tire wear even. My car has dual dampener tubes - I use Trinity's white grease on the tubes. the heavier the lube you use, the more steering you will induce into the chassis. tires - purple fronts always, grey rears on carpet, pink rears on asphalt (tarmac).
Hope that helps.

thanks for the info, u da man!
... just as i saw your post i remembered an old issue of RC Car action i have on file and just dug the copy out. according to the write-ups, the old car can be fitted with the Trinity reactive caster system... this system can also be fitted to the RC-12L3... my follow-up question is: can i fit the RC-12L3 front suspension to the Revolver? i'm asking this because where i live, its a bit hard to get the reactive system. the RC-12L3 system is more available... i just want to get my car up and running without much in the way of hassle... thanks in advance for any helpful info...
