RE: Oil the outside filter or not?

I usually oil both filters. The more protection the better. I tried not oiling the outer filter once, and all it did was let more dirt in to the inside filter, closer to the carb. I also use some...

RE: CEN R2 Quality Horror

I think what you should do is set the needle back to stock and try from there. Also, make sure you're priming it.
Companies like Mugen only make kits, and the things to fail on any RTR are always...

RE: CEN R2 Quality Horror

Very true guys..this is the RC hobby. It's also why RTRs aren't always that great. My first 30 days started with a traxxas nitro rustler..now that was a pain, switching from that to a CEN Matrix TR...

RE: $450 budget

The new CEN Matrix R2 can be pre-ordered now for $350, and you get two free shirts with the purchase. With that, you'll have $100 for anything else you need, like a radio and servos. Even the...

RE: Picking a good nitro 1/8th scale buggie

Whatever you do don't buy an Exceed RC buggy. I work at a hobby shop and it's the biggest pain to have to deal with those cars. You can't get parts for them, and their engines are junk. Invest the...

RE: run away

I'm sure your engine will be fine. I had this happen to an RTR engine of mine before, and it's still running after two years and 6 gallons on it.

RE: Is there an inexpensive engine that is ok?

You can also check out used motors from trustworthy people. I bought a sportwerks .21 V2 for $75 with pipe with only a gallon on it, basically broken in. I also knew the guy who sold it from my...

RE: best beginner 1/8 scale nitro buggy

Check out the CEN Matrix. It's very tough, handles very well for the track when set up right, and it's inexpensive. You can get an R2 for under $300.

RE: Bevel gears design?

I know that truggies use the spiral cut gears so that they can use a smaller spur gear. It's why older truggies like the Jammin CRT used huge spur gears in the past. I guess the spiral gears allow...

RE: What buggy?

Check out the CEN Matrix buggies. They're very durable, and relatively cheap. You can get a Matrix for less that $300. It comes with decent servos, a digital radio, and it's built to be a race...

RE: Bevel gears design?

Well I haven't had any problems with the "standard" bevel cut gears, although I did use both. The difference I feel is that the spiral cut gears are smoother, but require more maintenance to shim...

RE: identification please

I would guess it's an old-style OFNA buggy. Maybe an MBX or something along those lines.

RE: RC8T into a buggy?

The chassis, suspension arms, linkages, shock towers, shocks, diff gears, and spur gear are all different between a brand's buggy vs. truggy. The truggy has the same basic layout, but it is a...

RE: Racing!!!

Yeah, there shouldn't be a problem while refueling. The tank wouldn't ever be open for more that a few seconds, so it doesn't effect anything much. A car will run for a while without having...

RE: Good 1/8 buggies for $300?

The new CEN Matrix R2 RTR goes for around $250-$300. It's a good buggy to take a look at. If you would want something better suited for racing, the R2 FRE will be coming out shortly, and you can...

RE: Racing!!!

It would be wise to upgrade a few things on the buggy before you race. Tires would make the biggest difference in the way your car drives. Go to the track and get to know some people, or see what...

RE: Hot Bodies LSP2 kit or CEN Matrix Arena TR RTR?

The CEN would be great for a brushless set-up. You can read about the truggy more on truggyracers.com, all the info you need about truggies. I've seen a lot of brushless TR Arenas, and I also...

RE: Other shocks that fit Matrix

The new R2 shocks will be even better than the jammin shock, I dare say. They will be teflon coated, machined six holed teflon pistons. They'll be worth the wait, just like the whole buggy coming...

RE: Hot Bodies LSP2 kit or CEN Matrix Arena TR RTR?

The diff gear changes are necessary, no doubt. Without it, 20 teeth on the spur gear would make your car's clutch burn out, have a 50mph top speed, and take a minute to get there. Although, I still...

RE: Hot Bodies LSP2 kit or CEN Matrix Arena TR RTR?

I had the TR arena RTR last year, and I used it for bashing and racing. The things I upgraded to make it more race worthy were the servos, radio, tires, and other essentials. Other than that, the...

RE: Cen Matrix R2 RTR Review

RTRs aren't usually the best choice for serious racing. The engines and electronics they come with are good, but not at the same level as competition ones. CEN has produced FRE versions of their...

RE: Nitro Buggies, whats the fuss???

A 1/8 buggy is perhaps the most durable RC car produced. My car never broke yet (CEN Matrix) and it still runs great. They are also great for bashing, they handle better than anything and are...

RE: Buying My Second Nitro 1/8th Buggy

The CEN Matrix R2 is perfect for what you're looking for. The RTR is out now, and it is a very good buggy and for only $250. If you want something better than standard RTR, you can get the Pro kit...

RE: stuff in shock oil

I try to rebuild/refill my shocks pretty often, especially for racing. When the shock oil starts to disintegrate and things get into the shocks, it's time to rebuild them. it's a good idea to check...
