RE: Cen Matrix Tr Arena

RE: Cen Matrix Tr Arena

Here is one I got from Gene Hickerson (CEN factory driver) on another site. The CEN upper tie rods are hollow steel and seem strong, but I have managed to bend mine almost everytime I race. Sometimes...

RE: Cen Matrix Tr Arena

s5lin, thanks for the info I will check out the blue clutch shoes. Since the "reds" are lighter, maybe I will use the 1.0mm springs. Can't wait to fire up this motor. It came down to the Picco .28...

RE: Cen Matrix Tr Arena

RE: Cen Matrix Tr Arena

RE: Cen Matrix Tr Arena
