Trinity/Slotworks and I think that is the 4-inch.

  I wonder where/who made the Trinity chassis, and for that matter their clear bodies ?

Trinity was a NJ company owned by Ernie Provetti, who became involved with RC cars & eventually moved to Florida. Ernie was a slotracing buddy of Tony P's in the '70s. Tony worked for Trinity in both NJ & FL. Slotworks was another name used for some Trinity slots. I don't think it was a separate company.

Trinity D can motors also.  Green endbell - 16D; brown endbell S16D.   Three different can designs were used over time.

The chassis shown is the 2nd generation design.
