Trinity NOW BL 1/18 Truggy????
I was looking for a new toy and really wanted a something 1/18 size and BL. It was either the quake, Xray M18T, or Trinity NOW. Well I bought the NOW since it's already BL, metal gears, it looks built to take the punishmentand it's 1/16 so it's just a little bigger. I know the quake is great but it's getting old and requires a lot of upgrades for BL power. It aso comes with a Mamba25, lipo charger and FM radio for $200. Not a bad deal.
The only problem I noticed is I can't find that much info on the truck. Is it that new? Are there any reviews or does anyone have one here? LMK, any info is helpful guys. Thanks http://i160.photobucket.com/albums/t...x/tric9015.jpg |
Its very new. Its only been out for a few weeks now. Its based off the NEXT chassis, so you can get feedback from anyone who owns the nitro. A few people on rc-universe have them and so far its a winner. I do know of one hobby shop owner who toasted the diffs already by trying to put a 400 size (28mm can) hacker in there. I guess the diffs are not made from hardened steel.

I saw those at Towwer and thought finally a kit that comes with a brushless motor and lipo pack but there is little know about them I still have not seen a pic with the body off?
When you get a chance post some pics so we can see what it looks like? :) |

I checked the tracking # and it says it's out for delivery today. I ordered it yesterday morning from Tower and it's usually two days, but the next day, WOW, cool.:intello: I'll post what ever pics you want. The only thing I plan on changing so far is the tamiya connectors.
I was going to order from Amain hobbies but I had the tower coupon and free shipping. |

I'm hoping I can fit a 4000mah lipo in there. I have three of them from my crawlers that I don't use anymore.

Very interesting it looks like it has a slipper clutch it should be a sturdy platform for bashing 3s lipo ballance charger Mamba esc and a FM radio For the money it's a great deal at 210 bucks.:great:

i got some pics for ya, so be warned about your connection. IBJAMMIN, I hope these pics are good enough, if not LMK. That goes for anyone. I can take more. It looks pretty beefy so I think it could take a good beating. I already took the radio out cause I have an extra Spektrum RX. So that's going in and I don't like the small servo and saver, so I'm just going to put in an extra Z590M I have also and get rid of the saver. So NO steering problems there, probably a little overkill.
I was also bummed at the size of the 4000 lipo but who said it has to lay down. So I have some extra delrin from my rock crawlers and I'll make a holder so the lipo can stand up, slot it and install some velcro straps. I should get at least an hours worth of runtime! I also have a 540 motor mount from a Quake and an extra 4600 motor, what do ya think? http://i160.photobucket.com/albums/t...x/CIMG0309.jpg Tiny mini servo, bahh! It must go! http://i160.photobucket.com/albums/t...x/CIMG0310.jpg Much better... http://i160.photobucket.com/albums/t...x/CIMG0311.jpg http://i160.photobucket.com/albums/t...x/CIMG0312.jpg Lipo idea in the works... http://i160.photobucket.com/albums/t...x/CIMG0313.jpg http://i160.photobucket.com/albums/t...x/CIMG0315.jpg http://i160.photobucket.com/albums/t...x/CIMG0314.jpg Motor mount http://i160.photobucket.com/albums/t...x/CIMG0319.jpg Front bulk http://i160.photobucket.com/albums/t...x/CIMG0320.jpg Rear bulk http://i160.photobucket.com/albums/t...x/CIMG0325.jpg |
