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.

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

It doesn't look that bad in my opinion. Looks like a great deal though.

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

i guess you could say that, but the cooling head is still way too large proportionally to be an airplane engine. it would get too MUCH cooling if you tried that

that heads way bigger than an aero engine, its too tall for that[8D] but it's not the normal car head either

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

Hi,

I bet it can do wheelies without too much effort. It looks okay with unbeatable price.

Thx

if they gave it a half decent engine it woud do a wheelie with a wheelbase so short but cen cant build an engine worth a dam.
