tree 1 I wana know where did you bought your body that I liked it very much and also what is wrong with cen matrix diffs?
I bought the body on flea bay. It is a Proline Crowd Pleaser body for the Kyosho SP2. I had a local painter copy the paint scheme and he did a really good job but I stopped doing business with him after he tried to rip me off when I asked him to copy my scheme on my truggy lid. I bought an airbrush and I am learning how to paint lexan bodies myself now.

As for the diffs, they are much improved now that the RTR and FRE kits come with the cross pins. When I first got my Matrix back in 2005, my buggy just wouldn't handle and turn like the rest of the buggies at the track I would go to. Someone suggested changing the diffs. I bought a complete set of Kyosho diffs and that seemed to help my Matrix a lot. Now my Matrix turns on a dime and handles the rough stuff a lot better. Now that Gene Hickerson developed the crosspins, changing the diffs is no longer needed. Just use the cross pins that came with your kit or RTR or order a set from Gene or Cen. They make a world of difference in the handling and performance of your buggy.
