Re: TRINITY TOURING CAR
The Trinity Reflex was a prototype built by Jim Deiter in 2001 and raced by Josh Cyrul. It was Trinity testing the touring car market and to test a few ideas. It never got anywhere near a production chassis.
The main chassis is a Losi XX chassis turned around to mount the batteries down the centre of the chassis. Front lower wishbones are Schumacher SST, front upper arms are Trinitys pan car twin link upper arms. Rear suspension is three link using a front steering knuckle as the rear upright, it's a similar design to the Tamiya Avante. I recognise the rear gearbox parts, but can't remember which car they are from. The inline battery meant the steering servo has to be mounted in front of the gearbox, in the front bumper. Here's a few more pictures, you will notice the motor is mounted on the left and right side of the gearbox in different photos as well.

Re: TRINITY TOURING CAR
The pictures came from rctouring.com, fraz.com and team-orion.ch way back in 2001, and kept on my hard drive. All the websites disappeared a long time ago.

Re: TRINITY TOURING CAR
TF-4 rear gear box + spur holder (the gold part). The shocks are Kyoshos too (TwinCap?).
