Status: offline 		Ok, i emailed trinity about the noise and they said it was normal becasue brushless motor is connected to the spur gear...does that make sense?

Just make sure the spur/pinion mesh is good and you'll be OK .

Status: offline 		Ok , here is what I am thinking is wrong with the pinion/spur mesh , I think they have the wrong pitch spur on these ! (yes I roached my spur gear doing high speed runs!)

I pulled out a spur gear for my RC18 and modified it too fit on the Trinity and its MUCH quieter now and I made alot of high speed runs to see if it would strip again and it still looks new !

Only trouble is the RC18 spur is thinner so it flexes a little when I tighten the slipper clutch so it wobbles some , but its rolling smooth and always making contact with the pinion gear .

Status: offline 		hey guys i got 175 to tower for x-mas and im considering one of these........or a vendetta st......but for the vendetta st to be good to go you need the ball diffs, CVDs, a new battery, and the servo hold down.

the now seems pretty sick, i have a brushless mini-t but 2wd and a super light truck means only good for speed runs

How durable is the NOW has anyone jumped it a decent height? crashed it much?

I understand the small problem is the motor screws need loctite......hell thats nothing compared to the problems i had when i bought the first MLST......the friggin wheels cracked.......thats a bug.......screws needing loctite is standard procedure for a RTR

Status: offline 		I just got this for xmas. I was very excited about this one because of all the metal gears. Guess what? One of the parts that need to be hard steel the most is a fake! The damn out drives on the diffs. Even on tower's site it says metal out dirve! But it's not! It's plastic with a metal collar! I did not even get one pack thru it before it broke. I mean come on, you tout all this metal and go and cheez out on a small simple part like this. Come on Trinity, I am so pissed off right now.




Here is what I did to mine.
