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!
