Hey Rich! Welcome to RC-M! That is going to be a sweet conversion. It looks like you've done a lot of research already. Make sure you post lots of pictures!!!

It's nice to see another NE guy on the forum!

Some new stuff arrived yesrterday! Got my motor mount and my buggy center diff with 46 tooth spur trying to dexide if I should go with 2 battery trays or not? In place of the fuel tank and engine?? any suggestions? Thanks in advance!

Hey Truggy racer, welcome!

I also have a Matrix TR, there arent many around tho :(

I Am runnin your exact setup, MMM 2200, and 2 2s lipo's

If you run dual packs, then 2 trays might be the best bet

jzemaxx · 03.12.2009, 05:25 PM

Veru nice TR. I plan to do something soon with one....

Thanks, the drive train is damned near indestructable... do yourself a favor and ditch the 66t spur.. i used a HPi 52t

truggyracer1 · 03.13.2009, 12:52 AM

I got a buggy center diff with 46 tooth spur for less than 20 bucks off ebay not bad I picked up 2 tekno battery trays and straps as well all I need now is lipos and electronics and of course install it all BTW I'm the only one that races a matrix tr and agree I have put it through the paces and has done well have not broke anything major I've almost had it for a year

brushlessboy16 · 03.13.2009, 03:18 PM

I have had mine for just over 6 months, i have broken 2 right front a-arms... both due to driver error :)
