Well I was around the forums a lot and running my Matrix hard and having a blast almost every day. Then my roomate flipped my buggy bad at the track and did all sorts of damage. Combine the week it took me to get the loot to afford the new parts with the time it takes to get all the parts shipped to me and I have some down time. I have new exhaust gaskets, exhaust couplers, wing mounts, manifold springs, shock towers, rims, tires, proline body, shock shafts, proline wing all on their way to me!!! I am excited to rebuild my buggy and get back on the track! Before I do I am going to take some pictures of my matrix and post them. So can you tell me anything else about the exhaust gasket? I also had a ? about shock towers. I bent the rear one and ordered a new stock one. Is that red cnc shock tower REALLY worth almost $40?!?! Thanks dogman, I love all of your advice...
