I am liking what I see in the production of the Matrix. Does anyone have a glimps of an idea when this buggy will be released?

I am already starting a list of goodies to drop onto that buggy, but very little info is given so far (being that it isnt for sale yet).

It looks pretty hot to me too...I might have to buy one. As I am not an avid racer, I'll probably end up picking a lower-end 1/8 to start out with, but it does look really nice! And its also got the CEN signature aluminum towers on it. Pretty cool!

I'll be racing state wide if and when i get one. We have a point series going on, and if it survives this year (the racing series), i'll be in it next year... pending release of the buggy. But of course, i plan on running a PRO Matrix. But the question is, which engine and exhaust setup produces the power I am hunting for? After reading about that Team Orion lasting 24 hrs in a Kyosho, I have my eyes on it!

Team Orion .21 buggy engine? Its a P7R based engine.

Yep, Team orion wasp, team edition they claim. Spendy mill, they want 364 for it at tower.

The design is obviously a Toki... being because most of the decent blocks come from Toki in japan.

I've run the .12 peak diablo (same as the orion) in a 1/10th scale truck and I was extremely pleased with it. I also drove the kyosho buggy that was used in the 24hr test in R/C nitro for an hour with the Orion .21 in it an that thing was blistering.

YOU were one of the drivers? And it still survived? My respect to you has gone up 3 points (its nearing capacity) Anywho... I heard the Matrix TQ'd! Now where did it finish in that race?

BTT

CENRACING, here is what I fear for with the release of the extremely well performing Matrix. Parts availability. There isnt a big online store that readily has CEN products. Shops around here alone have rare discontinued CEN parts and thats about it. I m stuck right now for when the Matrix is released. That poses another problem for me in Minnesota, If i manage to get one here, where can I find parts in stock?

I can almost guarantee that www.ehobbies.com www.toyhaus.com or www.offshoreelectrics.com will have all of the parts that you need.
ehobbies even stocks part for discontinued CEN products.

I sure hope so, otherwise i have a different buggy on my list that will take the Matrix's spot.

Ehobbies is their largest distributor in the states and possibly world wide so I wouldn't worry about it.

HRP Distribution also distributes CEN Racing products.

Horizon Hobby Distributors has shown definant interest and negotions are underway.

Andrew, how did you place this year overall with the matrix? I have been tryin to pay attention to the RC PRO series, but i lost track.

Hmm any info on the release of the PRO yet? I am still waiting to see the RTR and ARR to hit shelves, would be great to see by next week or two.

Should be out by the middle of this month (October) RTR that is...
Pro Kit will be a while from what I am told..

The RTR is an awesome car. it has many features only found on top of the line Factory kits.
The 1/8 world will be changed forever when the RTR is released.

I have done next to nothing on my Matrix and it handles like a champ.

what is different from yours and the pro kit?

Graphite on the pro kit. I am sure it will have some aluminum not on the RTR maybe machined still I don't know.
The Pro car is still in the works...

Oye, i dono how much longer i can hold out on the pro kit. As it is, i cant wait to get my hands on it.
