The Matrix Concepts carbon fiber losi 8ight chassis

[MindThoughts]

This is my favorite Losi Conversion. I sure hope one day Robert of Matrix Concepts Inc is able to proceed with this awesome Losi Or should I say Matrix 8e. I like how the Center diff has been moved to the center of the chassis, allowing for the center/front drive shaft to be lined up direct with the front diff. I also like the top trays, and how these help support the chassis. I know a few pro racers tried this buggy out and said it rocked. That's all I need to know. I want one. I have two Losi 8ights that just sit and collect dust ever sense I bought my Hyper 9e. But if I could Update my Losi 8, I would be interested in having a second awesome buggy. I know that Caster Racing and also the new Tamiya 1/8th scale both have the motor placement in the new location Robert has designed into this Matrix(Losi)8e setup. My Hyper 9e has the motor and center diff designed to be at the rear of the buggy, and it sure handles well. It's amazing to know that the motor and center diff can be placed at either end of a 1/8th scale buggy, and still handle well. so many design choices. I wish this Matrix 8e was one of them. That's ok, I still love my Hyper 9e. I wish someone would make some more option/hop up/ aftermarket parts for the drivetrain. I know about the SNR Graphite. But I'm looking for stronger drivetrain parts. I'll see if I can find a Hyper 9e Thread here on Monster RC. Maybe I'll meet some knowledgable Monsters there.

PS. I noticed on Monster RC's home page, Monster Mike has a page that talks about making/building custom projects for people that have always had a dream design or some ultimate design idea they may want to take into reality. And it seems that Monster Mike is the person that makes those dreams come true. That's Awesome. I hope Monster Mike and I can one day build the Ultimate 1/8th scale buggy. It would have a bulletproof Drivetrain. Be made of 100% Carbon Fiber. Maybe Robert of Matrix Concepts Inc can be a part of that project. Roberts Carbon Fiber work is outstanding. Replaceable Built into the chassis skid plates, and Replaceable Droop Screw Reciever Plates. I've never seen such detail. Excellent Work Robert. You really are a Master!

PS. I've also recently learned about MoosRacing Carbon Fiber Chassis as well. That's definitely another great Carbon Fiber Master Crafstmen working hard at making the Best Carbon Fiber Chassis Possible. John at MoosRacing uses Carbon Fiber, Kevlar, and Aluminum in Every Carbon Fiber Chassis he makes(And these CF chassis have a little more Flex than the stock chassis). Just google Search MoosRacing to learn more.

Great Work Monsters :-)
