No pictures yet, but we know for certain that Trinity is currently developing electric and nitro touring platforms to be dubbed the Reflex T and Reflex NT. Jim Dieter, Trinity's motor man, accomplished designer, and skilled racer in his own right, is said to be the primary architect of the project (you may remember Trinity used the Reflex name for a Jim Dieter-designed dirt oval car back in the day). It's rumored that ace driver Josh Cyrul will race a test mule at the upcoming Reedy Touring Car Race of Champions. When we get more information on the cars' details, we'll be sure to let you know, but in the meantime Trinity has confirmed that the nitro-powered Reflex will be the first to hit the shelves.

This news, I feel, will really make waves because Trinity is one of the oldest and most respected car builders in the hobby. They are known for their pan car chassis for 1:12, Pro10 and oval but this seems like a natural transition for the company. Jim Dieter is a real pro in the hobby and used to be one of the top drivers for the old Trinity/Kyosho team that used to dominate the off-road scene. Dieter used to run the Ultima and won many National Level events. I'm sure the nitro version will be competitive, but the electric Reflex is what everyone will want. PHILR/C
