Gene "The Machine" Hickerson "After Driving for 6x different manufactures in my 22 years of career, I have
found that the CEN Matrix is the most dependable, reliable, predicable, and
easiest to drive 1/8 Buggy available. I highly recommend the CEN Matrix
Buggy to any R/C enthusiast. "
9571- Matrix R2 RTR
CEN Racing's Matrix
R2 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.
The Matrix
R2 1/8th RTR was designed with the consumer in mind. This Matrix buggy will out
perform and outlast any buggy in its class without draining your bank account.
The Matrix has been race proven and remains one of the choice 1/8th RTR buggies
in the nation by consumers that want to both compete and / or bash. This RTR
Matrix buggy comes complete with an all new powerful 4.6 (.28) engine! You wanted
more power we provided it! The all new Matrix R2 has a new look and new
attitude while maintaining the same durability and design that has made the
Matrix product line world famous!
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!!!
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 chassis dialed! An Digital Skyion DX-Pro 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!
