cen racing just got into the sct game?
it looks decent, theres some issues like any truck, the battery tray seems a pita.
47mph out of the box, its apparently pretty powerful? i am hesitant to trust most youtubers reviews lol.
 
I had to go check the specs. For some reason that picture

makes the truck look small.

The reviews look pretty good across the board. Unfortunately, I have a "once bitten, twice shy" kind of vibe regarding CEN.

The CEN 1/8 nitro buggy (Kyosho knock-off) I bought years ago had amazing specifications but the low quality materials reared their heads after a while and it became a money pit. When it was discontinued and discounted, I actually bought another complete RTR for parts. They didn't last long. But that was a long time ago when the inexpensive Chinese models first started showing up and, hopefully, CEN has improved their products since then

There sure are a lot of new Asian imports at low prices out there these days. I think they'll sort themselves out in a year or two. Rlaarlo is an example. After about a year or so, they continually improved their products and established a good reputation as a bargain alternative and have become competitive in the market.
