The Trinity motor is manufactured by CC, The 280 sized motor features a long rotor for added torque, and 3 zero loss connectors that accept power from the ESC.
That is what Xtreme RC/RC411 said when they did the review on the NOW.

It's a feigao motor. I already went through one of them after the rotor decided to grenade on me for no apparent reason (used it within spec) and had to send it in to Trinity. It also has the classic "windings coming out of the can" in the typical feigao colors. The front also has the little bearing nub, whereas the CC motors are flat on the front endbell.

The ESC is made by Castle Creations, but not the motor.

On a side note, the Trinity motor in the NOW SUCKS. As I already said before, the rotor went on me from normal usage (slipper set so that it slipped about a half a foot, no drivetrain binding, stock gearing from the factory, proper gear mesh, etc.). The replacement motor I got runs just as hot as the first one (up to 180F after about 5 minutes with the stock pinion). I ordered a 4200kv 20x45mm for the NOW with fins on the can from hobby city. I may lose some speed, but so be it. As long as it runs cooler. The thing was a little too fast to use anyways off road.
