CEN Racing™ has built the Matrix to with stand the beatings of bashing around the back yard, then go to the race track and annihilate its competition!
With the so many different players in the 1/8th scale buggy market, is the Matrix the best buggy you? CEN Racing™ has developed this buggy with the beginner to intermediate level drivers in mind.
CEN Racing's™ goal was to design and build a affordable, plus fast and durable 1/8th scale buggy. This they have accomplished.
Do You Have a Tip or How-To or Review of Your 1/8th Scale Buggy Would you like to share it with others!!
This Ready To Run buggy is loaded with many standard features that are only found on other 1/8th scale buggies as hop-ups. In building the Matrix CEN Racing™ used 7050 T-6 aluminum for the radio tray, shock towers, center differential plate and chassis.
Many other builders of 1/8th scale buggies use 6061 aluminum and then recommend or offer 7075 parts as hop-ups or performance upgrades.
Not CEN Racing™, they built the Matrix "Ready to Rock!"
Some of the features that make the Matrix RTR stand out from the crowd are:
No need to worry about stopping, Cen Racing™ has installed dual vented brakes both front and rear.
Worried about needing to shell out more cash to upgrade servos, not with the Matrix, it features 2 - aluminum geared bearing supported 144oz high torque servos. Installed on both steering and throttle/brake.
The Matrix can soak up the jumps, ruts and bumps with its 4mm super strong front and rear shock towers.
Also to aid with handling characteristics CEN Racing™ has installed large body 16.5mm, big bore 14mm, extremely durable 3.5mm shaft, shocks.
To add to strength and durability the Matrix features aluminum front C-hubs, captured rear hinge pins and aluminum front suspension brace.
While many other 1/8th scale buggies use dogbones for drive shafts, not the Matrix, CVS shafts are used for both the front and rear drive shafts.
What powers the Matrix? CEN Racing™ has installed the race inspired NX26 .26cc pull start nitro engine with polished tuned exhaust.
To control all this Earth shaking power CEN Racing™ installed an Airtronics MX-3™ three channel radio system.
