The only good looking thing on the truck is the shocks. The rest looks like cheap plastic.

I know this is just your opinion, but I can tell you from owning a lot of different RC vehicles (I'm sure you have as well) and many CEN products as well...In my opinion they are a very understated company. Good product and they do not rip you as hard as some more familiar companies. In fact, if you look at some of the race results....they do very well (cenracing.com and go to r/c racing).

I did look at this and this is the first I have heard of it. It looks good, but barely a mini. It is 11.5" long putting it about 1/12 scale I would guess. I'm sure it flies and has great off-road capabilities. Have not seen prices yet for it though. I wonder what it goes for?

I am sure CEN designed it to be more fun than race. but it could be 1/18 because it is based on a monster truck.

There's already been a HUGE discussion on this topic. 3 pages worth. You can find it [link=http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/m_2829557/tm.htm]here.[/link] There's even someone supposedly from CEN posting in this thread.
