personally i think the matrix looks awsome. the radio looks nice i like the captured hinge pins the chassis braces while not billet are still better then the pivot ball ones on most buggies(i'm talking rtr)i like the way the tank has the splash gaurd that goes the whole way around it. and like all new vehicles it may have some problems. but it should turn out to be a sweet buggy. as far as advertising i've not seen the ones you guys are griping about but the ones i saw seemed normal. and look at some other companies. they all make it seem like they are so much better then the rest. what do you want them to say buy our buggy, it isn't as good as the other guys but buy it anyway. if you don't like the company or their cars then don't buy them. next fall i'm buying a new buggy and if there is a pro model in kit form it will be the matrix.
