Not sure about the Cen Matrix, but the Losi8 - if it is a Mach26, that means it's a .26. Sounds like Losi is out of the question unless you get a different motor for it.

Well you knw the your Losi 8 (buggy I think) has a .26 moter in it
If your matrix is 100% STOCK it has a .28 moter. So if the rules say .21 only your SOL

so did i read the rules right?

is a .21 a better motor than a .26??

Guess it depends. A good .21 RACE mill will run all over the RTR/stock .26
There are stock .21's as well, I would suggest a decent .21, they will run $150+.

Reading the rules, I would think Truggys could use up to .28's, but that only says "nitro off-road". That should be only for buggies, not truggies.I would call the track to confirm this.

Buggies are .21 only, truggies can run to .28's and M/T's are unlimited with 2 speeds allowed but no reverse....
I would check with event organisers though, because unless its an affiliated event you may get an exemption. Some clubs aren't too fussed about engine sizes on club days, only official events....
Of course living in Australia I dont know what this Phsyco Nitro Blast is......
