Yeah, what a complete coincidence, he not only went to a park where there happened to be a LST but hit it head on.............and he was able to tally the parts at $300. I hope no one actually believe this kinda stuff...

Sometimes your comments about CEN are pretty persuasive. But others make me start to wonder if you work for them..
I've said it before - and I don't mean it as a challenge or trash-talking or anything like that - honestly, but.., where are the videos? Where's the evidence? I've seen some very, very impressive LST2 vids, Revo vids, MGT vids, of course Savage vids(most of all..) - but where are all the CEN clips?? It definitely looks good, all the stats are impressive, etc.., but the vids just aren' there. I know not as many people have them, but if they're really that good I would expect more vids to surface..

Racing is 100% driver anyways.... as far as bashing.. genesis will completely destory the LST.
Bashing - what other truck can wheelie on demand with amazing torque and still have the size to climb over anything inclouding other 1/8 truck.
Durability - I ran into one the other day at the park, we accidently went head on and he ended up going home craying..... $300 repair for him and $0 for me lol

I'll work on the video part of it, they may be low quality videos but I'll see what I can do in the next couple weeks.. we've got some cool spots to run that have some big air jumps, so it should give you an idea of how well the Nemmy performs.. you'd be surprised at how well these big/heavy CEN's take and land good sized jumps.. good sized as in 10+ feet of air..
IMO... the big CEN's are a helluva lot better bashers than the LST's.. I have experience with the LST1, I've never bashed around with a LST2 so I can't/won't speak for those..

How about a simple picture with the lid off, can any GST owners post that?? I have read the manual and looked at the marketing photos but I simply want to see pictures from someone who owns one.

RE: Cen Genesis Vs Team losi Lst
Well i can tell you after owning both trucks, and many others, i would NOT want to run head on with the Genesis. Not with any truck i own. Period. Its 17lbs and built like a tank. Then again i dont drive that POS. It idles all day though. Which is great. If you want to sit and stare at it idling. Try running for more than 3 minutes without tuning it, and you'll be over 300 everytime. I could go on for days, but i wont. If any of the CEN fanboys want an cheap, just PM me. I cant stand the POS.

RE: Cen Genesis Vs Team losi Lst
rofl, you all know this thread is like 7 or 8 months old, right? anyway i always had tuning issues with both but its a solid truck. if you want reliability and something that will stay tuned and run all day long its the lst2. i said it before and i will say it again, the genesis to be reliable it needs a different engine and cen needs to make some new engine mounts for it so we can make that choice. if there were no tuning issues with the n76 then why did they say that they changed the carb and re ported for better tunability? there are alot of things that dont make sence here but it dosent matter, if there was an easier way just to change engine mounts and dump a new engine in i would run the nem or gen, but at this point in time i love the fact that as longe as i use the same fuel i dont need to re- tune the lst.
if you dont believe me, i took both to the track once and claudicio was there and ask him howthe cen nem and gen ran.

lol... sorry but there is no such thing as track or even dirt field here, only place you can go is the park or school. The $300 part damages is simply an exaggerated guess. i was just trying to prove a point. we all do that sometimes, his front end is completely ****ed up though, need a new body too. Whats up with accusing me? Someone already post GST pic before i do, lid on and off in the CEN forum. I dont feel the need to repeat it since they are identical.
I still dont get why people complaint about engine too hard to tune. I dont have problem tuning my genesis.. but again.. i am just a newbie

RE: Cen Genesis Vs Team losi Lst
I don't have much problems tuning my Genesis LE either the temp stays
between 215 to 225 degrees but if i do alot of high speed long runs the temp
climbs. Incidentally i have never heard the 3rd speed kick in and to adjust it
per the manual seems confusing to me. [:@]
The Genesis is a nice truck for bashing in practically all types of terrain and having fun and if racing is what you want buy another vehicle.
In my view the Genesis is the KING of BASHING.

It is a good race truck. It just can't compare to a Revo or truggy.

but against Revo, nemesis should be able to handle it, my 3 lb heavier GST has no problem beating them.

RE: Cen Genesis Vs Team losi Lst
The Nemmy is sweet, wouldn't be my 1st choice for a racer though (or 2nd, or 3rd..)... you need to get advice from someone who has actually had their Nemesis (or Genesis) on a track though... you're taking advice from quite possibly the most bias person I have ever came across online.. just somthin' to think about..
Stock vs. stock -or- modded vs. modded (with comparable drivers) there is no way a Nemesis could hang with a Revo.. Start a new topic on it and see what kind of feedback you get
I'm not bias either, I like the Nemesis.. unlike some (won't mention names) I've had experience with more than one monster truck and they all have their strong points and weak points.
If you're going to race, you'll be MUCH happier with the LST2 or Revo..

RE: Cen Genesis Vs Team losi Lst
well... i know you dont want to hear it but i do have Genesis and a GST... just nto nemesis
in my honest opinion, my truck is very compete with revo and lst. Revo is faster on smaller track, but cant compete on bigger track, especially with lots of jumps, double, or rough track. LST is very similar to the nemesis but i prefer Nemesis over it because i want to be different.
anyways, 80% of people at the track drives a revo / lst, but that doenst mean its better.

Honestly... how would you know how any of these trucks compete on a track? You don't have a track in your area or anywhere near you, Remember?
Ok... I'm done now...

Are you talking to me? If you are, your right. I had to drive a little out of my way before I could find a track. It's not very big, but we get about 20 or so people racing each weekend! Most of them are truggies though. The 1st place winner in each class gets $10. About enogh to pay for the gas. And yes I was very wishy washy on which truck to buy... After borrowing my buddies trucks( I have nice buddies. LOL!) and testing them all out, I finaly bought a Pro 15 T-maxx for $150 that I'm currently moding to race with. Does that clear things up?

RE: Cen Genesis Vs Team losi Lst
I have 2 LST and 2 CEN GST 7.7..... the GST 7.7 is a lot tougher than the LST... but the LST is a lot lighter and makes a much better racer.... it's more agile... GST is the toughest truck that I've seen and used.... I even made it a brushless..... sits at 19Lbs....
Here's the LST vs the GST size comparision....

RE: Cen Genesis Vs Team losi Lst
I'm getting a GST 7.7 in a few weeks,
Hoping it's as tough as my LST2,
I'd REALLY like some Genesis/Nemesis Movies if anyone can help me, point me in the right direction (Not the movies from CEN)
