Race Upgrades For Matrix TR "FRE"
 

Well I figure that Ill have around $250 at the end of next week sometime and I am about to make a list for my Cen Matrix TR Arena FRE truggy. Ive decided that Im gonna put the purchase of buying a neu motor on hold yet again. Remember this setup is for racing. Heres what I had in mind.

ESC- Modded MM "Already installed" Possibly a MMM
Motor- Align 600xl "Positive this is what I want"
Lipo- Flightpower 3200mah 5s 30-60c "Will be getting 5s 5000mah TP or FP soon"
Cap Board- (8) 330uf 50v caps. "For cooling"
BEC- CC BEC
Servo- Hitec 5645mg Digital Ultra Torque "Already installed"
Radio- Futaba 3pm FM "Already have"


I would like to know what other upgrades would you reccomend for this? I plan to run long 10-15min mains. What gearing would be optimal? Thanks

I just cleaned her up today and all that mud and dirt are off the cvd's, chassis, towers and cambers. Ill see if I can take a few more pics later today.

get some 40 series :D

I was thinking of 40 series but I can only find 17mm hubs. I need 23...

according to cen, the Matrix Tr should come with 23's

These are the 23mm 40 series

Yes, ben they do come with 23mm hex rims. Arct1k- I was looking at those and thats most likely what Im gonna get.

so u can get 40series... u dont need to get hubs:tongue::yes:

IDK ben... Ive heard using 40series for racing is bad.

Yes, I've heard the same. The 40 series are typically wider and heavier than most other tire/wheel combos. I think the big push now from most folks is to go to LPR style tires/wheels.

nice truck.do you know the diff gear ratio of the tr?i cant find it anywhere.

9/26 is what i read, uses the same gears as the Gst 7.7

thats what it says on the manual.but i think its wrong coz when i put it on the speed calculator,it says ill go 5mph:surprised:.i already ran it wit a neu and it went at least 40mph.

you probably entered a value wrong
