Choice of USA National Champions Andrew
Smolnick, and Gene Hickerson
The
Matrix Pro is CEN抯 no holds barred approach to 1/8th
scale buggy racing. Everything that our factory could lighten
and strengthen has been done. Our three National Champion
drivers, Jason Ashton, Andy Smolnik, and Gene Hickerson have
refined the original Matrix C-1 and the result is the a
masterpiece of CNC Aluminum, carbon fiber, and serious race
engineering.
At the center of
the Matrix Pro is a 3mm hard anodized chassis that has been
machined throughout to reduce weight. The Matrix Pro chassis is
not only stronger than the rugged 7075 Chassis on the Matrix C-1
it抯 over 3 oz lighter as well! Teamed with the stiff carbon
radio tray, the Matrix Pro gains even more rigidity to ensure
the Matrix Pro抯 suspension does its job.
Differentials are one of the biggest components to a car and to
help maintain a low CG for razor sharp handling on the track,
there are pockets machined on the Matrix Pro Chassis to lower
the CG even further. Notice the machined slots underneath the
fuel tank, CEN Engineers even removed material from that low
stress area to shave a few more extra grams. Anywhere that our
engineers could lighten they did, but all without compromising
the performance of the Matrix Pro.
Thick
carbon fiber shock towers front and rear. Carbon Fiber doesn抰
bend, so you won抰 have to worry about your shock towers being
tweaked or doing a hack job of bending your shock towers back in
place. Not only is Carbon Fiber strong, it抯 also lightweight,
saving you a few more precious ounces. Along with the carbon
shock towers we抳e even included a carbon center diff plate can
carbon top plate for that factory ride look.
In the market
for new 1/8th scale buggy this season, pick up a
Matrix Pro and drive your way to the top like the CEN Factory
Team. |

CEN Racing is releasing
new and improved cross pin differentials in their kits
and RTR for added stability. These new differentials provide
more traction off power along with more stability on loose
conditions. The new differential system is extremely smooth and
very effective for increased performance!
|
The
suspension geometry is fully
adjustable and offers superior handling in any conditions. The
Matrix is designed for maximum stability and smoother weight
distribution. The Matrix is the most stable buggy around the
turn and in the air. |
Shocks construction: Large 16.5 mm
aluminum shock bodies provide extremely plush suspension that
soaks up the ruts and bumps. Big Bore Shocks with 14mm width
pistons and extremely durable 3.5mm shock shafts. |

CNC
7075 Chassis Brace:
CNC 7075 Aluminum Machined Chassis Stiffeners are included in
anodized red to add strength and stiffen up the Chassis. 7075
Machined Chassis Brace adds durability to the chassis while
making it more rigid for racing purposes. |
CNC
7075 Steel Main T46 Gear
The CNC Steel Spur is not only extremely
durable, but has been milled to lighten it up. The lighter spur
gear reduces the rotating mass which greatly affects the
efficiency of the drive train.
|
New
lightweight CNC aluminum Clutch shoes and 1.1mm Clutch Spring:
standard on Factory Race edition. These shoes grab the clutch
bell with extreme grip, which allows the buggy to take off on
command. CNC aluminum shoes last longer and deliver bottom end
clutch power for racing purposes |
 |
|
 |
T13
Machined Steel clutch bell:
standard on Factory Race edition. Vented to keep the clutch cool
and allow debris to exit. Extreme durable and performance
guarantee. |
Captured Hinge pins: The Matrix uses a captured hinge pin
that reduces the use of e clips while offering a smooth and
effective suspension
|
CNC
7075 Front / Rear suspension block:
The Matrix Factory Race kit comes with an ultra strong CNC front
suspension block in anodized red. |
|
|
|
|
| 4
disc metal brake system. This new system stops the lighting
fast Matrix on a dime. Features include vented brake discs along
with fully adjustable front and rear brake controls. Matrix is
the only truggy in the market with front/rear adjustable brakes
|
Extremely Durable:
The Matrix Factory Kit Edition was designed to perform while
offering durability like no other buggy on the market. The first
thing that comes to mind when seeing the Matrix is durability,
then once you \drive the Matrix Factory Kit Edition you will
feel the CENsation of performance. |
