Everybody knows about the MG16..
 

The Cen MG16 is a great nitro mini truck for a little prise ($200).

Now there is an electric version, the ME16.. I like the fact it uses standard electronics and a 540 size motor.
[link=http://www.cenracing.com/censports/me16mt.html]Cen ME16[/link] It's going to make a great basher IMO

What does everybody think?

RE: Everybody knows about the MG16..
 

this certainly looks like a winner to me if cen can have ample parts support and if the drivetrain will hold up. I couldn't even imagine my vxl in there! OMG

RE: Everybody knows about the MG16..
 

I say it should be cool, same chasis... should be AWESOME, especally since there were a few issues with the nitro arangment and the exhaust pipe......:eek:

RE: Everybody knows about the MG16..
 

I wanted to get the MG16, but if this is cheaper and is as good as the MG16 ill get this!
1/10 scale motor and packs. WOOT!!

RE: Everybody knows about the MG16..
 

This looks like it could take the abuse of brushless systems better than most minis.

RE: Everybody knows about the MG16..
 

dont forget how unsuccessful the mini madness was they gave them away for free, not saying anything bad but the gennesis is not what I would call a race machine either, but there 1/8 scale race rides are ok.

RE: Everybody knows about the MG16..
 

The GST/Nemesis are GOOD trucks, and their 1/10s are ok, but the mini madness was a piece of junk. The motor and battery are good, but the chassis/suspension were TERRIBLE.
The MG and ME series look to be completely different from the mini madness though.

RE: Everybody knows about the MG16..
 

the MG, aside from the exaust, the brushings and a few other minor things was a very tough and reliable truck! I never heard of anyone having drive train issues with it!
So im assuming his ME version in EXATLY the same as the MG version, only it is set-up for big ASS electric motors and packs. So i would think that the drivetrain should deffinitly stand up to an average brushless set up. Who knows mabye even a Top end BL set up with a 3S Li-Po!!!![X(]

RE: Everybody knows about the MG16..
 

I love how it uses 7.4 volt 1/10th scale packs. I might have to get one of these for bashing.

RE: Everybody knows about the MG16..
 

i know my crt.5 will eat it alive

RE: Everybody knows about the MG16..
 

Ummm. This is electric. If ur crt .5 is electric too, then we'll talk, but with a decent batt and a goood brushless setup, this thing would be CRAZY FAST :D !!!

RE: Everybody knows about the MG16..
 

the genesis isnt a good race truck unless you race flat track and everyone else goes backwards that truck is a 22 lb turd if you like to bash it might go fast enough to catch some air a gut came to the track with one to race he left after the first qualifier TURD TURD TURD

RE: Everybody knows about the MG16..
 

I plan on buying one as soon as they become available. Cen said they would arrive on Christmas week, or the first week in Jan.

RE: Everybody knows about the MG16..
 

i am so excited!! cant wait to get one. i was thinking of getting a mini-z monster but now i am gettin this!!!

RE: Everybody knows about the MG16..
 

i would prefer to mod the MG version personally. I looked at the chassis layout and i do not like the battery location. But if it is any thing like my MG16 it will be a good rc to have.

RE: Everybody knows about the MG16..
 

I know what you are saying.. I would do the same thing with my NEXT (instead of buying the new electric version).


For anybody that is interested in it, the new R/C Driver mag did a review on it, even though I find it a "Perfect Truck" review:eek:(January 08 issue?). Only good mag out these days is R/C Car!! My opinion of coarse;)
