West Coast contributor Joel Navarro already announced some of these products as he covered the 2008 International Indoor Championships (http://forums.radiocontrolzone.com/showthread.php?t=250645) for us but I thought we should get a seperate thread going just to talk about these new products. ;)

Latest from Trinity (http://www.teamtrinity.com/):

If you can think of any battery in existence, the I-Balance charger can charge it! This charger has a built in AC power supply. Charge anything from a receiver and transmitter pack, up to a 4 cell LiPo. Of course, it also charges NiCd and NiMH battery packs. Cool features of this charger are that it has LiPo balance plugs built in on the side that match most found on popular LiPo packs, a plug for an external heat sensor so your packs wont overheat, and a 12 volt DC out plug to power up 12V accessories.

These packs are the same as the newest LiPo packs in Trinity’s line up, but they feature a blue rubbery type case. When mounted in a car, the case felt like it had a more grip on the chassis to keep it from sliding out of a car in a crash. These LiPo’s will come in 3200, 3800, 4200, and 5200mAh capacities.

These new modified brushless motors are a whole new design from the last line of motors. These new motors feature a milled out can to shave grams from the over all weight. Vents have been added to keep running temperatures down. The end bell of the motor features an innovative design that makes it a cinch to change the timing and eases motor maintenance by allowing removal of rotor. These motors will come in half winds 3.5-turns through 10.5 turns. Whole winds 3.0-turn through 7.0-turn. Also available will be a 13.5, 17.5, and 21.5-turns.

For the record a color change is in the works, exact colors haven't been defined however you will be given more than the option of green.

Those EP packs are pretty darn pricey. At least a $40 premium over competitors. Hopefully the actual street price will be more reasonable.

This prototype motor was being used at the event and was pulled out of a car for photos, thus it appears dirty.

This is true! This motor I shot came right out of Paul LeMieux's car after the 2nd round of qualifying I believe. Jim Dieter pulled it out of the car, put a Trinity sticker on it and gave it to me. It was still warm from LeMieux's run. :cool:

When I see a charger that is not future proof, esp with all the different plugs needed to balance, thats a turn off......


Will this charger even do ORION batts?.....
