Matrix 2 Riptide Adapters - Discontinued.

I’ve tried them, they work.
I needed to Dremel out the hole in the adapter plate to fit the adjustment screws but it was very close already. A few passes with a file or some sandpaper would also likely do it.

I agree with that statement

Thank you!

I live in France and I was searching where I could buy the RipTide bushings, and found the Lacroix store.

I know the Lacroix brand has returned. @Adamvos Is it safe to buy from here?

I’ve always gotten them here directly from riptide.

(I just saw the France part, I don’t know what shipping is like outside the US)

ADDRESS

Koprska ulica 72,

Slovenia

:point_up_2:t2: This is the contact info for this website.
I was looking at the bushings too some time ago, not too sure these people have anything to do with the US guys from the Carolina’s though :thinking:

This used to be the way Lacroix was trying to sell + service their stuff to European customers i believe, yep. I did’nt dare to try after the bankrupt situ. This website has been there for years and never mentioned anything about the “ending” situation :point_up_2:t2:

I just checked this adress out on Google Maps, they were a fitness store which now states “permanently closed”. I would’nt risk it :face_with_monocle:

I don’t believe Lacroix Europe is wanting to continue selling Lacroix parts. You can reach out to them to make sure, if they don’t reply or don’t have parts, shoot me a message, we’d be more than happy to ship international if need be.

Hi. I would order ripped bushings but shipping cost is no-go. From where You shipping a parts? It is really EU? I can not imagine additional taxes . Actually it is cheaper to buy it directly from riptide US.

dude, read some of the last posts :point_up:t2::wink:

@Tony_Stark- am I correct to assume Radium no longer manufactures and sells these Matrix 2 Riptide Adapters ?

Just checking if any are available from the source before I make a WTB post.

They don’t sell them anymore; I bought the last two sets back then.

There are other similar options on the market, Lorentz is Linnpower.

I have 3 of these kits, one is used and the others are brand new, never used. If he wants to buy them, I can ship them from Brazil to the United States, but I think the shipping would cost around $60.

I ended up buying some Radium products that have been discontinued.

That’s super generous of you @Juniorsilva2!

Since I am looking for 2 sets (for 2 boards running Matrix II trucks)… I’m gonna throw up a WTB post to see if any are kicking around in the US.

And thanks for the pointer to the Lorentz/Linnpower ones… gonna check those out too :call_me_hand:

Dang @rafaelinmissouri those are tempting. Especially if they are 22x22mm profile = a direct substitute for Matrix 2 (i.e. motor mount compatible).

Assessing options now… will PM you if those trucks keep calling my name. :call_me_hand:
