WOW! That is very impressive I must say...

Makes me rethink my strategy... I was about to get into Planes too, but I may
just have to get this instead and stay on the ground.

Cancel the Order. lol This has the most features and actually looks like a new design. Resembles the savage some but it's not a savage. lol And since it's CEN I hope we are looking at a 400 price tag and no more.

Wow looks interesting, but I won't be buying any CEN products until they start distributing their products to more hobby shops. For some reason none of my local shops carry thir products. Come to think of it not too many mail order companies do either. This sends up a BIG RED FLAG in my book. I hope they get this resolved soon as they seem to make a very good product.

You bet it flops like the MGT? The MGT has been out for what...Two weeks? Now, lets move on. The truck looks amazing. I dont know how they can offer soo much, and even ponder the idea of a 400 dollar price tag. One thing i noticed about this truck i dont like! With that GIANT motor, they are gonna use TELESCOPING drive shafts???

Dude, Thermal, chill. As far as the Drive shafts go, I would think that they would engineer them to work with that power. Its not like they are tiny. The reason that Cen can offer all of this at such a low price is the fact that they don't have an inflated ego to pay for. they are a small company selling good quality for a reasonable price. so far they have not taken the philosophy of charging a crapload because they think that that is what their product is worth. they sell it for what it costs plus a little profit. This is the way that more companies should do business, and I hope that many people flock to the Cen line because of what it can do and the price it can be had for.

Ya, thunder tiger makes the EK4, but its not really the same thing. This CEN offers alot more than the EK4. At least in my opinion it does. There are just two aspects of this truck that are questionable to me. One i already mentioned. The telescoping shafts dont seem appropriate on this truck. Then the scary thing is that REAR steering. To me, i would think with such a larger motor, that the rear steering would have a hard time handling this torque. I imagine that we could get some input on that from an ELECTRIC junkie. Id be willing to bet that there are some guys that have used brushless motors on CLOD trucks. That would certainly have a comparable torque level. I will say this much though. I was excited about the truck before, and i like it more every time i see the updates on the CEN web page. I can only imagine how fast that truck will be with a 3 speed and that GIANT motor. I really hope the aftermarket jumps on this truck. Could you imagine if this truck started a craze like the Clod waaaay back in the early days. I personally love the idea of rear steering, but it scares me with any high output motor.

Dude, Thermal, chill. Why do you have to bash everyone on here? Can you try to be a little less of an ass? As far as the Drive shafts go, I would think that they would engineer them to work with that power. Its not like they are tiny. The reason that Cen can offer all of this at such a low price is the fact that they don't have an inflated ego to pay for. they are a small company selling good quality for a reasonable price. so far they have not taken the philosophy of charging a crapload because they think that that is what their product is worth. they sell it for what it costs plus a little profit. This is the way that more companies should do business, and I hope that many people flock to the Cen line because of what it can do and the price it can be had for.
thank you. I think cen is a great brand, I jus think they are trying to hard on this one.

the size did shock me though.
