1/8 Racers

Racer 1/8

I spent a lot of time here in Atlanta, Georgia racing my RC Car around the pine trees about 20 years ago. Atlanta's own Sugarbowl was the spot to go, and I believe Bolink had a clay oval. The South East Region has come along way in growing the grass roots racing scene with several rc off road race tracks in the area.

The Electric Racers have almost completely transitioned out of town to places like South Carolina, Florida, basically everywhere else when it involves racing. The big gripe with electric, much shorter run times, smaller tracks and the list goes on. Take a nitro buggy like the Cen Matrix C-1 RTR. I was completely happy with this vehicle and still am. I wanted to find a vehicle that would run fast and true right out of the box! And being money conscious I did not want the it to BREAK my pocket right from the start. After buying my 1/10 truck last year and realizing I would have to travel to race (Thanks local Hobby Shop Guys for telling me this, after the truck was sold). So figuring out in the Georgia RC Racers Forum with the help of local 1/8 racers i quickly realized there may be hope for this sport yet! I looked at buggies ranging from $199 to $1000. And in this group of products I also narrowed the search by price and Ready to Run Kits. Finding only the ones that would actually be competitive right out of the box without breaking the bank was another story all together. Sifting through post after post and asking whats your opinion on this or that, I rested my choice on the Cen Racing Matrix C-1 RTR! It comes standard with the Airtronics MX-3 -Fully Digital and FM! A fast SH Engine .28 -Brand new this year! The best part, the price $349! It is a bashing monster, tough, fast, and priced well. Want to go racing? Take it to your competitors driving $1000 buggies. And find out why the Cen Racing Matrix C-1 is versatile and strong enough for Backyard Fun -yet poised to win race after race at the local off road rc race track!
