Default RE: My new ride ~ GST 7.7

Fun trucks! Good job on the pics.

A lot of people (and hobby shops) badmouth CEN because of their lack of customer service, but the GST is an awesome unit. Just make sure to spend a few minutes checking all of the screws and linkage. If you are having major tuning issues, search here for the check valve mod. I'm not sure if the newer engines have the same issues as the old ones.

For spare parts, you will want a set of A arms (all 4 corners are the same), and you will likely want A NEMESIS steel front drive shaft and yokes as the GST plastic one isn't too tough. Oh, and a spare axle shaft (swingarm?) but CEN did upgrade them mid production on the GST so the newer ones are pretty good.

Eventually... you may want a stronger steering servo / dual steering servo mod.

These things are really heavy, and really tough. I'm sure you will enjoy it.
Very useful information , Thank you for your advice.
