Status: offline 		Pictured here is Andrew Smolnik’s racing GENESIS 46. This is the exact truck right off the track!! You may see this truck at your local track in the near future as Team CEN will be attending many large MT races this year.

This truck is virtually stock, still powered by the .46 5hp engine. It does however, utilize our all new 23mm hex’s (available soon) Andrew’s truck is running on Pro-Line’s 40 series / 23mm rims, along with Pro-Line Bow Tie Racing tires. This truck is also sporting a Pro-Line Crowd Pleazer race body.

When racing Team CEN Driver’s remove their reverse mechanism inside the transmission. They also, remove the first speed gear, using only second and third. Top Dimesion X shocks are removed for weight and down travel purposes. For further questions feel free to contact our friendly technicians. They will be more than happy to help you out with you CEN needs. They can offer many tip’s and tricks to make you reach the winner’s circle!

Status: offline 		LoL. Thanks Scouser. I am confident about the future races that we will be attending.

Im evening going to call a shot like the Babe Ruth.

You WILL see the GENESIS in the winner's circle this year.

Bold statement. But this is how confident I am.

Thanks!

Status: offline 		Really nice work CEN. But why haven't you replaced the stock control arms, if you ask me I think the upper control arms are really weak.
But good work and I hope you will out race some revos and lst, so they be quite about that genesis can't race

Status: offline 		Okay I didn't know that you have made new arms or changed the plastic to higher quality.
Do they have a higher quality plastic or have you changed the design for them?

thanks for the answer and the update Andrew.

Status: offline 		Andrew,
With the changes you have made, what have you got the weight down to??
Have you changed the diff cases to the aluminium ones? or did you stick with plastic for weight considerations?
Also, (sorry about all the q's ) Did you really notice the difference off the line without 1st?
And finally what are you running through the motor (fuel type and plug type)? Oh, are you using roto start or pull start??

Thanks

Buster

Status: offline 		Just one quick question, has the racing Genesis been tested against other makes of truck to check how competitive it is? Also (two questions, sorry) will the details of the alterations, ie the gearing used, oil weight etc be available to people wishing to modify their Genesis similarly? Thanks. Just as a footnote, I would like to thank Andrew for taking time to come on the forum and answer eveyones questions. I am sure you have other places to be and it means alot to me and I would imagine everyone else aswell. Thanks again.

Status: offline 		Bustergonad,

Actually just weighed it for you. Fueled up ready to go. It now weighs 14.2 lbs. With the weight reduction, you wont miss 1st gear at all. It is simply not needed.

I like to use Byron's Fuel. 30 % with short hot plugs. Engine tends to run strong with this combination.

Thanks for the questions!

Status: offline 		Andrew,
Thanks...... dropping almost 4lbs is pretty good. Kinda surprised your still only clocking at 45 mph with the lighter truck.
FYI I did read a post over at cengenesis.com (I think that's where I read it) that a guy over in the UK radared hit gen at 54+ mph, just wondered if you guys have got that kind of speed out of the gen or maybe there is some slight exageration to the story

Status: offline 		The racing truck looks awesome, i got a genesis for xmas. I have ran 9 tanks through it and on my first proper run i have managed to remove teeth from a couple of gears in the gear box. I am not complaining as this truck is the mutts nuts. I am looking to remove the reverse gear as i dont need it and i wouldnt mind shedding a bit of weight, but i dont know how so a little advice would be good. All said this truck rocks.
