I beat the crap out of my MATRIX. I try not to but it just happens. Once I can go to the track whenever I want it will be better. At the track I am a little more conservative, its at my house I get bad.

I just bought a LOSI NXT for my Wife so I can beat it instead of my buggy when I am bored.

The part costs 7.00usd from [link]http://www.customrccars.com/[/link]. I have rethought my fix. I will leave it as stock so I can fix it at the track with longer screws if I don't have replacement parts. I fixed the front at the track and it is still together like that, with many other hard shots taken.


This is my first 1/8 buggy and I am glad it was the MATRIX. After seeing some of the other buggies in person I am sure they would have broke many more times then the MATRIX.

I was at the track last weekend and had a blast with only broken part being a pullstarter. The track is a new clay track that hasn't been packed or leveled yet. So its pretty rough and had about 2 inches of loose dirt on top of the hard packed surface. My friend and I both had proline knuckles on our cars. He drives a hyper7 PCR converted the PBS in the rear. My car was scorching around the track(even with slipping clutch shoes). I could drive into the turns, turn in under him and power right out past him cleanly. The suspension was smooth thru the fast sections of the track. We swapped cars later in the day and it was not the driver he clearly beat me with my car.
