I’d snap some if I was home, but first impressions are good, seems like a well put together rig for the money, tires as expected are pretty bad but other than that it’s good for a rtr.

Re: CEN RC Monster Truck Series...thoughts?
 

I got one. I went for the HL150.

First impressions:

Way too stiff sprung and dampened. Took out 1 spring on every corner. Quite the improvement. Now for some thinner oil.
For the rest of it, it makes a rather solid impression. Comes with swaybars that You’ll have to assemble yourself.
Tires are not too bad, but, as expected, more geared towards low wear, than grip. Kind of a good thing, because with the stock, super hard, spring and damper setting it lòves to take corners on 2 wheels, so hard tires make it possible to ‘slide’ for a bit before going full turtle-up..

Size is a tad bigger than a long wheelbase Wheely King. Somewhat heavier, though. Metal gears and a fat 550 ‘ll do that. Pretty fast with the included 15t ( ? ) 550 even without swapping the gears around to increase speed. Steering is a bit wobbly with all the linkages going-on. ( like the WK)

The best thing? No rattling ‘clutch’ like the WK, but a proper slipper.

All in all a pretty solid offering I’d say. Apart from fiddling around with the shocks, there’s not much needed to get it up and running satisfactory.

Re: CEN RC Monster Truck Series...thoughts?
 

Sounds great...

Especially the bit about getting some slidin' on.

Post some pics!

Re: CEN RC Monster Truck Series...thoughts?
 

Sounds like a solid rig....now I'd like to see them hit shelves. Parts support is what I'm afraid of. The release doesn't seem to be widespread as I was led to believe

It’s distributed via Robitronic overhere in the EU.

They usually keep a good stock of parts for the cars and accessories they sell. No idea how it will go for the US, though.

Re: CEN RC Monster Truck Series...thoughts?
 

I really like how they implemented the steering with the servo back in the middle of the chassis.

How hard would it be to extemd the wheel base? The swb is about the only thing I dont like about these.

Re: CEN RC Monster Truck Series...thoughts?
 

Driveshafts, links, the normal stuff. Its pretty good as is though.

I made it to the LHS today and saw one. Its smaller over all then I had hoped for and I think I'll just build up my SCX10ii into an MT until the new SMT10 comes out.

Re: CEN RC Monster Truck Series...thoughts?
 

It's the same size as a scx10ii with smaller style axles. Problem with making a scx10ii into a MT is you will only have locked diffs.
