Status: offline 		yea minigranis. thoes are the front "C" hubs. If you want to order parts the the front and rear uprights, front and rear lower arms, and front and rear upper arms at least.

Status: offline 		You can call Trinity 732-562-1234. I know the international tolls can be a lot so best bet is to go to www.tematrinity.com and go to http://www.teamtrinity.com/support/shipping.asp and they have a place to click on for international shiping.

TRINITY PRODUCTS INC. CAN NOT ship fuel overseas due to international hazmat issues. We are sorry for this inconvenience. TRINITY PRODUCTS INC. guarantees shipping only to the United States. For shipping status of other countries, please send inquiries to websales@horizonhobby.com. Please note that in many cases we are unable to ship outside the U.S.

For a listing of international dealers, click here.

That is what they say. But there is no link that I see. so I would shoot them an E mail at websales@horizonhobby.com. Other wise I have seen no other place that sells parts fro this ride. I guess it is just too new at the moment.

Try http://search.horizonhobby.com/index.jsp?No=0&sid=1174C9A86BF6&Ntt=Trinity%20next&N=0 if all else fails. I know horizon hobby ships over seas and most fo the parts for the Trinity NEXT will fit the NOW. But the done have the front lower arms.

I own maxamp packs myself I like them. what I was trying to say is the Trinity packs are so cheap I just cant see spending $60 on the maxamps.. for this car. I am getting 20mins of run time with the 1350 packs.. and I like that they have Low Voltage circuit built in.. and at $30 a pop you cant go wrong




Where are you getting them for "$30 a pop"?? Please let me know as I can't find them cheaper than 49

Status: online 		Ok , now I am starting too wonder ...... I was running my NOW indoors and clipped the wall , pretty hard but not REALLY hard .

The a arm shatterd , it didnt crack , the thing broke into 4 separate peices !

I had a spare pair onhand , so not a real biggie . But I thought before I install them I would try the old boil the parts trick to give the plastic some flex . Boiled them for about 20 minutes , and then let them air cool on a paper towel .

I couldnt belive the difference from the non boiled part ! It has a little give too it now where as the unboiled part is very ridgid .

So far they have been holding up , I am going to try Aluminum a arms from a Mini Inferno ST , they seem to be the same thing , maybe I wont need them if the boiled stockers hold up .

Status: online 		True , I forgot too check the parts listing for the NEXT , oh well if the Mini Inferno ST a arms work , they will be less for a set than the Trinity ones are for a pair ?

Check them out , they look almost identical too the stock plastic ones ...


They should be here by Wednesday or Thursday , I will post my results ......

Status: offline 		yeah i just threw some stock mini inferno ones after i broke a rear a arm. the only other thing i had to change out was the bog bones since the inferno ones are wider. but it does make the truck look and handle alot better. ill try to get video once the rains clear over here. I also replaced the stock battery with a 2200 mah 20c Venom pack and now this think is crazy fast
