I thought i'd let the old post die and repost on this forum, I just got the 5sc 4whd/30cc, NIB,off the bay (400.00) after the usual pre-op maint, Loc-tite this n that, I'm quite impressed with it, after 3 tanks,2 of which my son beat the snot out of it, it faired the better than my nerves.... after a long wind-up,she kicked in like another gear, handling was good,and fuel consumption even better,(50min.+) my cameraman took the week off but i'll post vids. of before/after the hop-ups are installed, as soon as i can. Currently, It's in stock form, but I just ordered the tuned pipe and the cnc gears for it,I'll be switching to the Monster truck gearing to help shorten the long wind-up, the only complaint i have is the tires/rims, seems there is an insert on the rim that comes halfway up the sidewall,supposedly to strengthen??? but is causing the sidewalls to crack/tear prematurely,(also, my son was throwing it around pretty damn hard... ) other than that, ZERO complaints, I'll post when the parts come in as i'm sure everyone is apprehensive as to the past Customer service issues, but as "the Real Dogman" sez, CenRacing is alive and well, and past issues resolved. all other 5sc owners feel free to throw in your 2 cents, but please, lets not turn this thread into controversial BS. Thanks Robert
