Breakiing in new matrix/motor
I just got this kit and it didn't have any break in instructions. Could some one email me a copy or something? I checked the CEN site but the zip could not download. Thanks.

RE: Breakiing in new matrix/motor
we built this track about 8yrs ago behind my house. the last couple years a hobby shop opened up
and we have been helping each other. we try to have a couple trophy races each year and time to
time the lhs donates stuff for prizes. the track is 150ft by 60ft. it has fast sections and technical
sections. i try to have a little of both,make it a drivers track. we just formed a club this year to raise
money for possibly a transponder system. now we manually count with computer software. i have a
friend in construction, i fix his trucks free of charge and have access to his equipment. it works out
real nice

If I have a track closeby. Too bad for me it's going to be very stressfull in the next few months, last month would probably be the last time I'm gonna be seeing my buggies for the next 7 months, my stuff will be in storage till I finally settle over there. I hope I'd have a neighbor like you who have a track behind there housetake care and more power to your track,

RE: Breakiing in new matrix/motor
Had some bad luck today, just finished the breakin and was starting to lean it out. Then the reciever looks like it got some snow in it and tweaked out. The buggy flipped throttle wide open just as I get to it i hear CLINC. The rod broke took out the piston and sleeve with it.
Now I'm out of money with a blown motor. I knew I should have stayed awy from these things.
Any idea where to get and how much a piston sleeve and rod would cost for one of these?

RE: Breakiing in new matrix/motor
why oh why dont manufacturers include a failsafe with all rc toys...?????
looking after the customer instead of guaranteeing spares sales would be a much better approach i feel.

RE: Breakiing in new matrix/motor
Well I bought a SH racing .28 and stuffed it in there. Man this thing is sick. It breaks all 4 tires loose on pavement. I can't wait for the track to open in spring.
