CEN Racing’s Matrix C-1 RTR brings the speed and durability that 1/8th scale buggies offer in a package that is Ready To Rock!!  The Matrix is built for you to backyard bash during the week and take out to the racetrack on Sunday and ANNILAHATE the competition. 

With a thick 3mm 7075 T-6 chassis the Matrix can handle the abuse dished out by the rigors of 1/8th scale bashing.  Don’t worry about the chassis flexing, the 7075 chassis can take more abuse than the wimpy 6061 aluminum used by the other buggy RTRs out there.   Just mash the throttle and drive the Matrix!  Let your competitors know what 1/8th scale buggies are really about!

CEN has equipped the Matrix with parts that strengthen and lighten the Matrix.  CEN has extensively used 7075 aluminum in the design of the Matrix.  The radio tray, shock towers, center diff plate are all made of 7075, other companies feel that 6061 is all you need, yet they recommended the 7075 parts that are options for their cars!!  CEN doesn’t cut corners with the Matrix.   When we say Ready To Rock, we mean it!!!

The Matrix features dual disc brakes front and rear! Other companies again make this an option, you won’t find yourself short of stopping power with the Matrix, pull the throttle to the max and slam the brakes to get your Matrix to turn that sharp right, try that with any other buggy and you’ll be kissing the walls. 

Check out the front, center, and rear diffs of the Matrix. Each diff is a 6 gear bevel diff that are fully sealed and can be tuned with silicone diff oil.  After you’re done checking out the diffs, notice the center driveshafts, both front and rear are universals! Other cars are still using dogbones.    

Not only is the CEN Matrix’s chassis dialed!  An Digital FM 3 channel radio is included as well.  And we didn’t stop there, knowing that 1/8th scale buggies need servos with some power, high torque METAL gear servos are installed for the steering and throttle!
