Trinity T-SPEC/Acme Vanguard

Suffering from a little racing burnout? Or maybe you’re new to the hobby and you hesitate to jump right into hardcore competition? Trinity has the perfect car and race program for you, and just in time for the summer racing season. Its new T-Spec brings cost-controlled spec racing to the touring car scene. The platform for this car is simple and looks very durable, yet it has some of the same features as the current crop of high-end racing machines. The shaft drive train is durable, and ball diffs are enclosed in the front and rear gearboxes. You’ll find threaded-body plastic shocks at each corner and ball bearings throughout. This is most definitely a car that can satisfy experienced racers and also grow with newer drivers as they develop their racing chops.



FEATURES

1.Ball differentials with plastic outdrives
2. Blue-anodized aluminum drive shaft
3. Pivot-ball suspension
4. Cam-style aluminum motor mount with painted heat sink
5. Twin bellcrank steering system with built-in, spring-style servo-saver
6. Rear 2mm swaybar
7. Plastic threaded-body shocks
8. Glued tires on BBS-style rims
9. Plastic chassis with plastic upper deck
10. Black-anodized aluminum drive-shaft cups
11. Accepts stick or side-by-side battery packs
12. Turnbuckle tie-rods
13. Front and rear dogbone drive shafts  






Top: ihreaded shocks eliminate the chance of your iosing preload spacers.

Bottom rght: the T-Spec’s shaft drive is similar to proven systems from Yokomo, HPI and Associated.

Bottom leftt: pivot-ball suspension is a big plus, and turnbuckle tie-rods are standard.

First impression

The quality and assembly of the T-Spec are very good. None of the suspension parts bind, and the drive train spins freely and will surely be even better when the car has been broken in a little. For a plastic chassis, the T-Spec is surprisingly rigid, thanks to its sturdy upper deck. Because it has a shaft drive, the T-Spec shouldn’t require much maintenance other than post-race cleaning. To get you out racing quickly, the T-Spec comes fully assembled, and that’s awesome considering its low price. The incredible $200 price tag gets you a body, tires glued to cool rims and a motor and battery! Overall, the T-Spec isn’t what you might expect of a cost-controlled racing setup: its design is very race-worthy, and it’s as adjustable as the average racing machine. It isn’t dressed up with gobs of aluminum and graphite parts, and it isn’t left-over, old technology. And Trinity’s T-Spec isn’t just about the car; it’s also about the program and concept behind it. Not everyone wants to invest the required time and money to have fun racing, but we also don’t want to run at the back of a pack of diehards. Spec racing takes the money element entirely out of the equation.

Thanks for the info.

Sofar, I can use up to 17T of Tamiya AV Pinion.  The internal it's about 2.846 while the std spur is 60-61 T.

Do you have more pics for your custom spur holder ?
 

rgds,

Hai Rosdi.

I see the pic of Spur Holder ? Do you get it from Acem or it's come from another cars (Yokomo) or you hand made by yourself ?

My comment for this car. It's ideal for touring / parking lot racing, but not for racing since the chassis is too heavy.

It is custom made spur holder where we sell as hopup.

We will custom made the carbon fiber chassis but we need to consider number of users too.

assalamualaikum,

Bro. Rosdi,

Your statement above, is it referred to manufacturer info. or based on your visual inspection?

Takut nampak serupa tapi tak sama.

Nanti ada yang marah pulak.

Thanks.

Visual from the Mag and the site and I'm sure the item is the same. Trinity just launched the r/c and I got the sample car 2 month ago by Acme.
