Default Which is best

I want by a buggy but I have no clue about what to buy. I read in R/C Car where Cen has a new buggy the Matrix(RTR). I don't know much about CEN, can anyone help? Should I buy Cen Matrix or RD Logics SHO?

They are both nice buggies, read the RCU review on the SHO. The matrix most likely wil have more support though.

RT30GTR, have you raced a RD Logics sho buggy. What parts have you up-grade. Did you change your original set-up.

hey jneesy horizon will have the matrix i think they say mid december. the matrix is a lot better imho than
the mayhem. i dont know why i just didnt like it. i really havent upgraded much on the matrix,just tires
and a quicker steer servo. havent seen a need to upgrade anything else. like rc30gt said it does handle
the rough sections great. i think its one of the better rtrs available.

O.K. guys i order my CEN Matrix, I should have it on December 15. Man! I can't wait to take it the track, its my first gas buggy. I had an old RC10 worlds car in 1994 but never raced it. Thanks for all your help trackman, RC30GTR, Jay-r & RCsidewinder.

I got the matrix yesterday evening (Thursday). I'm going to break it in today and go to the track tomorrow (Saturday). Can't wait to see how this baby runs. I'll let you guys know if its hype or fact, but Since I bought one lets hope its fact. Stay tuned for my next report.
