Certified Trinities are no different than buying a motor with a "tuning" service such a rotorRon.

If you need some specific usernames, they are mrreet2001 and bertottius (claims he ran one at a ROAR Nationals in the Trinity sub forum, didn't specify which year). Marcos.J mentioned that other rules aren't being enforced, such as the charge rate. Let's assume they gave me false information and Trinity Certified endbells have not been passing tech. If one presented at tech in front of you with a different coloured endbell (violates rule 8.4.2.3), would you pass or fail it? Note that it's not just the certified endbell that Trinity has that violates that rule, they have orange and pink cosmetic variants available separately that aren't on the approved list.
