I saw this a few months ago, the price is right but the lack of parts support and hop ups from CEN are enough for me not to buy one.

RE: Mini Nitro G-Unit.... Nice
ya the body isnt the best looking , but i do like their Nemesis body though. Thats the best looking CEN body IMO
Anyways, i sure like this chassis better than the X-ray.. 4wd and .15 engine certainly got potential..for under 2 bills, i dont expect a beautifu body, the chassis is all that matters to me. The IRC 1/18 nitro buggy cost 3 bills for god sake.. this thing is only $200
cant wait to hit the track with WASP Rev .12 and Proline tires...

pics no longer work, try looking at http://www.cenracing.com/area51/51_mini_g.html
that body makes it look like a toddler's toy, like it doesnt even have proper transparent windows or anything... i give it to a 3 year old kid and he'll tune and start the engine and drive like a pro

Seriously, if you dont like the body, then you can pay $300 for IRC's or $400 for Schmuchar's truck. I am getting this one for $200

its square so it has more surface area than something thats curved and round, maybe they can achieve the same cooling using a smaller volume by using a head design like that?

personally if i have a nitro i'll look for more surface area to volume (i.e. weight) ratio in the head, if its too light i can always add more weight to it later
