Ed Bridges joins Trinity R&D Categories - Industry, Trinity - add a comment
Trinity Products Inc. have announced a new addition to their Nitro Program in the Research and Development team, with Ed Bridges from EB Mods. For those of you that may not already know Ed, he is the founder of EB Mods and a very experienced nitro R/C racer and mechanic. Ed had the following to say about the deal:
I made this move to Trinity to build a strong foundation with them and to make Trinity my home. Past business relations have always been month to month agreements with large orders of engines leaving little room for product development and support. Truth be told, I’ve been trying to get in with Trinity for a few years now, but Trinity never had a true nitro engine program in place, like they do with Jim Dieter in the electric division. So when I heard Trinity might start a new Nitro Program I contacted them and expressed my interest and went through the steps to get here. We all know in electric that Trinity is #1, so I hope to help make that true with nitro. Trinity has stepped-up and offered me the opportunity to prove this!

Trinity IB4600mAh Sport Battery Pack Categories - Intellect, Trinity, Batteries, Electric, Products - comments closed
Trinity have released these IB4600 battery packs, which are suitable for bashers and sport racers who are looking for maximum run time and punch, but don’t want to break the bank by purchasing matched cells. Made using Intellect cells, these packs include Tamiya style plugs to make them compatible with just about all RTR electric vehicles, and have the same dimensions as most sport battery packs, so they’ll fit perfectly without having to jam them in the battery tray.
