OMG that is insane. And it produces 5 HP @ 23,000 RPM. Wow, has any one tryed that engine.

LOL 0-30 faster then ur eyes can keep up with. No i would put it in a MT if i ever got it. But that thing looks insane.

I would never buy that motor....

Czech-it-Out Graphics · (#5 (**permalink**))

that motor blows! i delt with a couple of those from al's plenty of torque but its slow lol doesnt have high enough rpm

Sh1nn3r · (#6 (**permalink**))

Think of how many houses and garbage cans you can jump with that thing!

Rawkfist_02 · (#7 (**permalink**))

Yea i though of the RPM as a problem. Dam! Any other engines out there around that power that someone could point out.

kevinF · (#8 (**permalink**))

that thing doesnt have 5 HP, jusst cause they say that dont mean shit.

You don't need anything near that powerful. (Which it isn't.) LEARN TO DRIVE YOUR BUGGY WITH WHAT YOU HAVE!! Stop looking for something more powerful. You are like I was with my bikes.... always wanting more and better even when I didn't need it. Now I buy what I need when something NEEDS upgrading or something breaks. You will save yourself a lot of money, learn a lot more, and don't come across like a jackass to everyone.

It says its for an MT. Thats why it has the low RPM's. Perfect for an MT with a 2 speed or more tranny.

nah dont get it! its not the FOM so it cant be good!

Just curious why did they put that motor in a $700 truck if its no good?

Ponch · (#12 (**permalink**))

It's cen.

FreeRideFrosty · (#13 (**permalink**))

It is terrible for a buggy. Low RPM's. You would have to gear up a LOT to use the torque. I imagine it is huge and heavy.... all seem like good reasons to go with a proven more powerfull .21. And IMO..... that $700 truck is nothing special. I am not an HPI fan (I loved my Revo) and I would take a savage ANY DAY over the Cen.

there is nothing wrong with the cen truck dan, its alot more durable than the revos are

If I still had my revo I would bet against that....

Did you know that the CEN Nemesis won second place in monster truck class at the nats? It was also the only truck in the whole race that did not break one part.
