Not my cup of tea but it is interesting to see Cen making a trail-ish truck.

I'm not sure I get it, just cool to see it's not the same jeep and toyota we keep seeing produced and that it doesn't have portal axles.

Looked at it some more - it really is pretty neat (even though personally, I dislike the wheel/tire combo they went with, but I get that it will likely sell more with them)...

With 3D printed custom parts (grilles, especially!) and perhaps the use of some RC4WD and/or Tamiya big-rig parts, I am expecting to see some neat customs.

Could use a different cab and fab a cool bed for it.

This truck along with the WPL D12 utility truck (at the opposite end of the spectrum) show that we might be seeing a new age in RC, and I have high hopes!

I'm loving this thing. If it looks right next to a Bomber, count me in. 11.4" wide and a 17.75 wb, oh baby.

I haven't looked at buying a full-sized truck in quite a few years. What the hell happened with wheels? Are the 1:1 wheels this ugly and silly looking? I guess I should take a look. The truck is bad-ass for sure... love the color, the fact that it's a dually, but good Lord those wheels and lo-pro tires just look goofy as hell.

Wheels are common for the river rat $$$$$$$$$$$$ boat guys out here in Cali, more common on Dodge trucks. After seeing a few youtube vids, they are what appears to be a 12 mm hex, so with the right hubs something else should probably fit.

Truck looks pretty cool. I like the brodozer wheels since they're different than any other wheel I own. Might get one for a tow rig, although I haven't used my trailer since the spring.

Cancelled my order for the Traxxas bronco and ordered this . I can’t wait for it to get here , I’ve already got all kinds of ideas going through my head . Does anyone know if you can use real Line-X on lexan ? I also am wondering how the diesel exhaust pipes on the Tamiya semis would look on it . Do you think they’ll be too small or would the exhaust pipes on the Tamiya Bullhead look better ? I’m also thinking about getting the ess1 sound module . I can’t wait to scale this whole thing scaled out ����

Just bought some Rc4wd double trouble wheels and Dick Cepek Mud Country tires also bought a few scale accessories and some decals . Looks like I’m waiting til November now which sucks but at least it gives me time to buy all the extras I have planned

ATTENTION RC HOBBIST DO NOT BUY ANYTHING FROM CEN RACING !!! Their customer service and distribution is horrible. I ordered the truck back in September and have just found out now that they can’t fill their orders . I’ve already ordered all kinds of extra stuff that I was going to put on it and am now stuck with stuff I can’t use . ����screw you @cenracing

They can't keep up with the demand and are behind or they will not be filling orders going forward?

Here’s wha I was told on my voicemail

This is the voicemail I got

Voice Mail to Text: Hello MJ this is Joe with OMG RC.com giving you just a call in regards to the cenracing f450 truck. Fortunately we didn't get as many as we were supposed to from our distributor and the distributor and get as many as they were supposed to get so if you wanna still wait I don't have like an ETA as to when that next shipment comes in or I'm gonna try to get them from send leasing directly. That's I'm trying to work on as well been trying to get a hold of them but anyway if you want to either way just let me know if you wanna order something different but our phone number is 347-871-4303 and it's Joe with OMG
