Never did I ever see one of those . Sharp looking machine . Carter parts are tough to find . Speaking of rare machines that John Deere ATV in the background looks a lot like the older Bombardier ( Can-Am ) ATV'S . Another trouble maker .

Good Luck with the Carter !

After just posting I realized I have seen similar . Google Challenger 300 . Maybe parts are plenty ...

John deere buck, They were popular around here for a short time. About long enough they all started having shifting, wiring, and top end problems. Didn't take the green fan boys long to thumb their noses at them.

I know where one is that still runs. Farmer wife and has been treated as a golf cart in the yard it's whole life. Hardest it ever has been drove was down to the mailbox and back.

This one runs decent and shifts good sofar anyway lol but is eat up with electrical issues.....start/stop button kills it while trying to crank one headlight turns on and off constantly and when you hit the high/low beam button the lights go really dim and all 5 gear indicator lights start blinking and the instrument cluster dont work nor does the fan. Front cv axles are missing. High low reverse neutral and park all work.

Nope. Two totally different UTV's. Carter has independent rear suspension and is also different dimensions too. The engines are completely different as well. The engine on the Carter Matrix is a SYM 300cc with 24hp and the Trailmaster is Linhai 300(260?) with 17hp. The SYM 300 also has a high low gearbox.
You'll have much better luck getting parts for the Trailmaster challenger than the Matrix.
