The RTR will come with a .26-.28 engine. We have not determind the actual size as of yet. We are testing different configurations, to see what will work the best. ; )

I like it, cant wait to see it in the shops. I am also impressed by the direction the company is taking, race rewards and possible sponsorship, the racing Genesis and now the Matrix. I really do hope these promotions raise the profile of the company and more racers will pick your products to use. I fear that one thing will hinder CENs' growth over here in the UK though. The worst thing about owning a CEN is having to deal with Irvine as the distributor. I dont mean to put a sour note on a positive thread so I will finish by saying I am made up to see the Matrix, will be buying one asap and cant wait for the owners rides page on the CEN website. Good work boys.

Madmark,

We intend to make the Matrix buggy RTR a Roto Start. It will be out shortly after the Mini Madness Electric truck.

I know it is very early to be asking this, but will there be a 'pro' version of the kit released? Something with things like 7075 chassis, fully adjustable camber/ caster/ toe in etc and compatibility with racing upgrade manufacturers like Fioroni? Sorry if it is too soon for these questions to be answered but I really would like to give this buggy a run competitively. Thanks.

Madmark,

Roughly the same time world wide. Trying to get it out by summer.


Scouser,

By all means we intend to offer upgrades for consumers that want to compete with the Matrix. We will also, be forming a strong 1/8th scale racing team.

Just hope its in the UK for the start of the new racing season. If the Matrix is targeted the competition end of the market and rivals Xray, Kyosho 777 and Mugen cars, then this could be a whole new era for CEN.

The guys over at BigSquidRC.com have one more pic, with the body off! It's a little blury, but hey, we'll take what we can get! They also have a poll for what color the aluminum should be! This thing looks sweet! It would be great to have a buggy that can compete, and does not cost $700 without engine and electronics!

They just changed their poll, so you shouldn't have to register in their forum! Go vote for a color!

CEN, during the development of the Matrix, were any Fun Factor parts modified to fit the new car? I have noticed that 1:8 scale buggies are very similar in size to the Fun Factor and wondered if there was any compatibility?
