I havent been able to get more than one tank of fuel through it with out something breaking again. Cen support doesnt even respond when sent emails. I have run nitro trucks for many years in a fun backyard setting and never owned such junk as this. I have two duratrax trucks that I can beat and beat, other than a loose screw now and then they still run. I have less than a gallon of gas in this cen and I'm gonna have to completely disassemble replace bad parts and set up myself. I just hope I can save someone the mistake of buying cen

I have a feeling quite a few people will disagree with you here. I for one love my Genesis, and if it breaks, it's usually because I did something to it. Or something just wore out from all the raw power of the truck!!! (insert Tim Taylor grunting here)

Hey Pal..Sounds like you can't handle the big boy toyz...Yes there's a little bit of a probem to start out with...You done your research on this truck..GST
So you knew what you were getting into going in too it....But with all that said.. There are people here in the forum to help thoses who ask for help..
Not trying too bash you in any way..But you have to work on the problems that come up..One at a time...Every product out there has problems ..Every
company..Does not matter what brand name..Jusy my 2 cents worth....

My GST rocks. I haven't even broke one part yet, besides a leaking shock. Mine also looks great running.

What parts have you broke?

Hey Mastercrash
Sorry to hear you have had so much trouble. I only had a little trouble, just to do with the hand controls, not the truck, and I know you're not a newbie like I am, but I can tell you that the guys here on the forums are great, they are all usually very willing to help if you need it. Just gotta ask them nicely and they will help you any way they can, well in my experience anyway. I am really glad I have become part of this forum, cause it is a great source of info, support and encouragement, I hope you get your truck sorted out, I haven't had mine long, and it's my first nitro, but I love it

Never had a problem with mine in almost a year and im running with the centre diff locked for half of that,
im running it on tarmac and concrete and grass and been jumping it and have yet to damage it,
I`ve had a lot of nitro trucks and this is by far the most durable,
been using my self made wheelie bar and running on it flat out on it and its a blast to drive hope you enjoy ur new truck

check mine out on rcu videos search for, cen gst wheeliebar.

Ha Ha,there it is.Very well said.Terminator,I like you.You say the things I want to say so bad ,and get away with it.Wasnt too long ago I acted like this guy,(MASTERCRASH),but not quite as bad.I have to admit,this guy has me beat Makes me realize how stupid I made myself look back then Mastercrash,WAL-MART has what you need for around$50.00 you just charge the batteries and drive play with it and get your skill level up Meanwhile, while you work on that,how much $$do you want for that GST junk?

i have to admit too, every time i run my truck, somethign breaks.....now 98% of this is because im a noob and only had a tmax 1.5 knockoff before the gst so i needed to learn different thinks about the truck, now everytime i need to order parts, i order whatever i can to get a stockpile.
