The Matrix is a very durable buggy. I have had mine for a couple of years now and I couldn't be happier with it. The only thing I have ever broken on my Matrix was a wing mound and I cracked a rear carbon fiber shock tower naer the top outer hole. Both were broken due to user error. I was trying to drive above my abilities and I had a very bad crash. I put the rear shocks in another hole and I was back in business. I was able to finish my race day. I would highly recommend the Cen Matrix because of its affordability and durability.
