Had one to, worked great, built like a tank, but was getting alittle old so I got the evo conversion for it,waiting for the season to get started to see what the new girl will do.
The reflexx will work fine for you if you get it,it can still hang with the newer cars at he local tracks.

Trinity Reflex NT - Any good?
wild gopher;
Since it looks like you would be racing it at Revelation raceway, I would recommend one of the newer generation of Cars (G4, V1-EVO, MTX-3, etc).
I own 3 (built) Reflexes and on a high speed, high grip track like Revelation, traction rolling has been hard to eliminate. The newest generation of Cars have suspension refinements that allow them to work better on this kind of track.

I'll throw my hat into the ring here to with the "I had one..." line.
I ran mine all last year against MTX-3s and NTC3s. I felt that I wasn't at any real disadvantage simply because of my cars design. I finished consistently in the top 2 of the A-Main despite using only a mild powerplant(O.S. .12TR) and really was pleased with the car.
The best part about it was how well it responded to small changes.
I've moved on to the HPI R40 now. Not because the Reflex wasn't good enough anymore, just because, well take a look at my signature...!

I also own a Reflex. It is a very good car and is capable of winning still. I recently switched to Mugen and like the Mugen better but I yesterday I was running against a Reflex and we were even steven all the way. I thought the other guy had a Mugen until we talked. When set up right, it can hang with the newer generation cars.

Trinity Reflex NT - Any good?
Guys;
Actually, my ONLY major complaint about the Reflex is:
On a high speed track that is sprayed with VHT, grip can become so good that traction rolling is a problem.
Cut down tires help, but then there isn't any Gearing availible that is tall enough to bring the rollout back up.
Other than that, the Car has been good to me.
