Does anyone know anyone who actually owns a CEN? I was temped to buy one of their road cars but the hobby shops discouraged it, stating that they had trouble getting parts and warranty service.
You can find Traxxas and HPI parts everywhere. |

RCD,
Is that the company that stocks CEN parts? I prefer to get parts locally, like when you are broken and need to fix it ASAP. Anything can be found if you are willing to wait for it to be shipped. And I can't afford to stock every possible part for each machine I own. That's why I chose to go with HPI and Traxxas rc's. I do admit CEN cars and trucks look like awesome performers, especially that truck, but if it breaks and you can't get it fixed, what's the point? |

I'd like to see it bash. I can pretty much tell by looking at the suspension geometry that it's certainly no racer. Might be fun though, if I were interested in bashing. I guess I just find bashing boring nowadays.

I don't know why you guys keep hating the CEN. It is a great truck, and it's getting a lot of wins throughout the world. I have a CEN Matrix TR that I will start racing, and I hope I don't always get comments like this.

Lol...Cen Sucks IMO. They are hard to get parts for. I've seen a CEN MT at LH and it looks like a heavy piece of crap. plus the motor is like 5 horsepower and the thing is like 18 pounds, I wouldnt feel safe with one of those flying around on the track, and i wouldnt wanna put someone else in that situation. Lol.

people talk trash about any car that isnt Mugen,Kyosho,Losi,or AE. Thats just how it goes at this forum and at LHR. Sad,but true.
I drive for CEN,and although I havent been to the track since early Dec. I plan to run both the truck and buggy as hard as I can just like I did with the mugen. As far as parts go. No,sadly no one around here really stocks the parts. I believe scott told me he carries some onroad parts but thats about it. For anything else. You would have to hit Amainhobbies.com. Jim Laski runs electric offroad and I believe he run onroad too. And as for this truck that was posted. This is the race truck that Andrew Smolnik used when he took the bump from the Bmain to finish 2nd in the Amain at the truck nats last year. |

....He's backed by a company, he doesnt have the issues one of us would have....
Im not talking smack about CEN. Its a common issue. I dont want to have to order offline, and wait a week to get stuff, when I could go to lH and walk away with everything on my list. Revo 2.5, TRX 3.3 Engine, Center Diff. Fast and Turns on a dime. |
