The Matrix Pro is CEN’s 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’s 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’s 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.
