Race Upgrades For Matrix TR "FRE" -
07.02.2008, 10:06 PM
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 Lamborghini's= True Engineering Marvel's |

No the Artena uses 13/38 difs. Thr RTR Buggy uses 9/28 and the FRE Buggy uses 13/38 also. CEN uses some wierd ratios and different all over the board.
I personally would upgrade the difs with the Hotbodies truggy difs. 10/43 and then change the center spur to a 46T. The stock 66T forces you to push the battery way off to the side just because of how big the spur diameter is. Use the Cen buggy center spur. Also, a must do upgrade is the upper arm of the servo saver. the stock plastic ones break easilly. The CNC red is the solution. I have one sitting here new in the package if you are interested. I'll give you a deal on it LMK. I bought it for a CEN I had and then sold it before installing it. My other 2 cens were already upgraded so it sat in my parts bin for the last year. to make it... or break it... Silent...But Deadly |
