CEN Matrix TR

Going back to the steering post 'posts'... I havent broken the lower but I am concerned now that it may end a race for me.
I wonder if this Thunder Tiger setup would work... need to see if someone can measure it up for me.

In the instruction manual it says to adjust the servo saver nut to 6MM.
Is this correct?
The first day out with mine I broke a thick plastic servo arm bent an aluminum one and broke the lower half of the saver.
I had a spare for my buggy so I threw it on and set the nut at 3MM then the steering felt mushy to me but it didnt break in the 20 min main.

At 6mm I bend aluminum servo arms. At most I adjust mine to between 4-5mm.

Also lube your servo saver pipe with Dry Ice or any teflon lube, you will be amazed

its not really a mistake, you dont have to run the long ones, but it gives you more down travel if you do, for a smooth blue groove track, you might be better off running the short ends,
I'm not sure on the pistons, but you should be able to tell by which ever ones are in the packages included? if there is a set of 1's and 3's, then its got 2's in them?

We could'nt run the short ends. On landing the axels can come out of the outdrives and cause some major problems.

your not suppsoed to land on the flat , I never thought of that actualy, i was just going off a guy that ran the truck here, he had short ends on the front and rear, and he didn't have any problems, the truck was also brand new thgouh, and the jumps were all very well built so we never landed on the flats, always on the downside,

Kyle Sokol TQ'd round 1 of the RC Pro FL Series last weekend. Tony Pattishall qualified 2nd. There were 4 CEN TR Arena's in the A-main

That picture is pretty cool with all of the Cen trucks. We have our first nitro race of the season this weekend. I will be using it mostly as practice to find a good setup. In just a few weeks my club track will be hosting a Wisconsin Pro Series Race. I want to have my Matrix dialed in.

Hope everyone is well.
I actually got a not so important idea today. I am actually curious as to what the TR drivers are using for power.
This is a question I have for you guys:
1) How many of you are powering your TR with a .28? .21 guys chime in as well please, and in addition to your powerplant of choice, please list your pipe combination. Any other size engine qualifies as well, just list whats in your truggy.
I know what a few of you on here are running, but for those that haven't listed please just post away. I've only seen a few .21 powered TR's but I am real curious as to how many are running it.
For those that are also curious about what I'm running, the Radical 628. A ton of torque but the motor can still rev. If you check out a recent Xtreme Mag with the TR motor, Skinny had the motor dynoed and you can see that the motor is not your typical big block, the 628 can rev quite a bit

For the bigger races we are going to we will be running a V Spec .21 with the red insert and a T 2050 pipe. All kinds of power but great on fuel mileage. We love it. For club racing we are running the .26 Sportwerks motor. We have just finished breaking it in. The .26 so far cant hold a candle to the .21 yet. The sportwerks motor gives up on the straight ways so I am thinking of changing clutch bells.
