I got two cars one is a Cen Genesis GST 7.7, the other an Aftershock LST. Anyway started the cen no probs took it for a spin, half a tank later i stopped to turn went to accelerate and nothing but reving. Wheels won't spin when i pull trigger everything else seems fine??????? Put that car down took the losi out, lucky to be driving 2mins when the same frikkin thing happened as the cen ??????? Is that a bad day or what ????? No car, no driving, me very mad
 
Are your center drive shafts just spinning? On mine that happens but only for the front wheels.. I looked and my center drive shaft was loose and just spinning
 
Sounds like a slipping one way bearing in the 1st gear on both trucks. You can try cleaning them in DA and get some OWB lube.
 
Thanks Neobart! Just had a look at Losi, that's the problem. Don't know about the Cen, it's over at the shop...probably the same thing. Should have known it was something simple!
 
Sorry man, my bad! It was given to me secondhand from a mate and that's what he called it. Had never known about them as where I am in Australia there isn't much of a market for them. Now I know so thanks! For a downgraded version, I am more than happy with the Aftershock's perfomance, it's an awesome truck!

Don't be sorry man, it's all good !:D You should definately invest in an HT Tuned pipe(LOSB5059) for it if it still has the stock pipe on it though, trust me, that stocker is robbing the Big Block M266ss of it's full potential.:thumbup:

Let's see some pics !;)
 
OK, got a few pics from when I first got them, (about a month ago!) so haven't really had a chance yet to pimp them out the way I want yet!
Got a pic of the Aftershock in full flight. First and only pic we tried taking of it in the air so I reckon I can do better! Gotta get these flips down pat!

So, what do you think?
(The smaller one is my little girl's electric brontosaurus, she wanted a truck like daddy to go bashing so thought this was the go for a 5 year old!)

Thanks Taz, I would really like the XXL but gotta convince the lady I NEED it!
Not many Cen fans around here is there?
 
I have seen far to many Cen Genesis trucks with broken diffs, tranny and axles. Hopefully they have improved that with the GST truck.
