My opinion is that Cen are very good!

It also depends on where you live and if you have a good supplier of Cen parts. I live near Manchester UK and can get almost any part straight from the local model shop if not they can order it. They give good support however I have found I havn't needed it.

This was my first and have had zero problems rebuilding the whole thing. Even took the chassis of in 35mins hammered it a bit and put it back on. 25 mins to replace a drive shaft and steering arm.

I have the Subaru and bought a set of Stadium Truck wheels and tyres for it for when I go bashing keeping the rally tires for less demanding stuff like racing on solid concrete.

Overall Excelent!
