You know I heard that exact same thing, so I did just that.

After getting the Losi, spending a few extra bucks to get some key upgrades that were recommended I found that the Matrix drove much better for me and was quite a bit cheaper with almost all of the aluminum hopups for it.

The Matrix is a awesome car when you get it dialed in. It may take a little time to learn what works best for your driving style but it is so hard to beat for the money and the preformance you get from your investment.

By the way anyone interested in a almost new losi8!!!
