I would like to get a Cen truck but can't make up my mind on the GST or the TR Arena so what would you Cen owners suggest thanks.

I'd say GST, but then i'm fairly new to nitro.

Guy 4x4,

I suggest both!!! GST for bashing and playing around, The Arena for racing. I have Genesis LE, Nemesis and now a Matrix Arena!! I love my CEN products!!! And their service is top notch!!

guy4x4

But I can only afford one but both look great hard decision.

The Real Dogman

Do you ever plan to race?

guy4x4

Not sure yet have just been bashing with friends so far.

The Real Dogman

Well the GST is bigger than the Matrix Arena and it has a big WOW factor! when it running you know it!!

guy4x4

Yes thats true what one would be easy to work on.

The Real Dogman

I find them both to be easy to work on, but the Arena has a more open architecture, being laid out on an aluminum plate. So for the noob to them both the Arena would be easier

guy4x4

Thanks Real DogMan maybe I will just flip a coin LOL and go with it by the way are the speeds about the same.

I thought the GST would be hard to work on, but after my first full teardown I found the truck wasn't that bad to work on, and I've been out of nitro for years, untill I got this beast of a truck. if you want to race the GST I hope your local track is bigger than mine, I can't make it around the track to well but I can run over the deviders very easly, even get good air from almost stoped to gunning the engin after i'm right on them.

Does both take the roto start

The Real Dogman

guy4x4, yes the sh .28 will take the rotostart with the right parts as [link=http://www.cenracing.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=712]described here by outaacontrol hobbies[/link]

guy4x4

I just got the GST this week and I am so happy with it. I finished braking it in this morning and this thing is a beast. With it being 17 pounds I thought it would be slow off the line. Man, was I wrong. The GST has sooo much Torque it can get this thing moving it a heart beat. Im glad I bought this truck and the tech support is great. And all the people on the forums can give you help. *Cough TRD Cough Cough*

I've only had my GST for a month now, but man let me tell you. It is the fastest monster truck I've ever seen and I've been playing around with RC's off and on since the original RC10 buggy (yes, the gold anodized chassis version). Having seen nitro trucks over the years I always wanted one, well after years of procrastination and research I found the GST.

It has some much torque it's unreal, from and dead stop you punch it and it literally jumps out of it's skin, I almost want to post a video on youtube just because it's so damn impressive.

I've never seen a Matrix in action, but with the GST's .46 7.7cc motor (the largest surface vehicle nitro motor) atleast for 1/8th scale, how can you go wrong?

The Real Dogman

dStruct, Glad to see you got your motor problems sorted out!!! These are the badest trucks out there, and I have been telling everyone that, now you get to show them. Post the video so we can all see what you are saying!!!!

Good Job!!

If you are just going to be bashing, then the GST is for you. The GST can also race in the Monster truck class, but the Matrix can race in the truggy class and it is made to be more of a racer.

guy4x4

Ok the best price I have found for the GST is 514 dollars and free shipping does any one know of a better deal thanks.

DarkFire989

Try ebay possibly? I thought I had a really nice site, 420 for the GST, but they dont ship internationally[]

guy4x4

It's ok if they don't ship Int I can have it shipped to California my old home.

I purchased my GST with a chrome rollcage from VG Racing for $570 a few months back and that was for s&h and I love the truck.I got a few pics of it up with the custom painted Grave Digger body I did.

The GST must guzzle having a .46 engine. How long of runtimes does it get and how big is the tank?

thurlow

Run times are fairly average, but i know the fuel tank is considerably larger than my wifes T Maxx
