Saw one just now at my LHS. Kinda janky and crappy if you ask me. Typical CEN quality. |

Worst promo video ever. Couldn't watch the enitre video they have of it. I don't know if it was the possibility of sitting through over 6 minutes of the same repeated 15 seconds of "music" or the fact that the camera work looks like it was done be a 14 year old ADHD freak having a seizure. (zoom in, zoom out, zoom in, all the while shaking so badly) It does however look like it might be a fun little truck so long as all those extra parts to make the suspension "cool" stand up. Whats the run time on a 1800maH batt with a 540 motor on full throttle? |

The motor could be used in a vehicle twice the size, so im guessing its pretty quick. Not sure how many rpms it pulls but this is a rccrawl site so rpms arent really wanted. On big squidrc (one of those lesser sites) they have a comparison to a cen genisis and it looks pretty huge. As for suspension with 2 shocks on each wheel it should have a fair amount of travel. Ill try a pic. |

I wouldn't say that all of Cen's products are crap. I have a Cen Aquajet that has never had any problems. I have had it for 2 years. It is the most reliable RC boat I have had. Maybe the cars and trucks are junk, but not everything. Look at the Nylint's. My friend had one and it was junk. Maybe it was a bad one, but it sucked. However, look at all the ones on this website. You guys turned them into tanks. Just imagine what could be done with a hobby grade truck. I think anything has potential if you have patience and sometimes, the money!
