I was interested in either the Genesis or the Losi LST when they first came out, but after reading about the problems that they both had, I decided to hold off until they ironed out the bugs, though I had decided 6 months ago that I wanted the Genesis.
One thing that I have seen is that Cen Racing have been prepared to update the truck parts that have failed and have supplied free parts to the first generation truck owners.
It is rare to that a manufacturer actually participates in any forum and it is good to know that they are prepared to assist you with your problems.
I notice that there is very few recent forum posts about the Genesis, either good or bad. Most of the previous posts were about problems with the earlier versions, so I would have to say that most people today must be happy with the truck now.
When you look at the Losi LST forums there are still a lot of problems with that truck, you only have to look at the problem with the thrust washer in the engine which Losi didn't fix till they had sold 13,000.
I finally ordered a Genesis with my local dealer 3 weeks ago. I opened it up at the shop only to find that it was an earlier Genesis without the spurgear brace. The supplier in Australia offered to supply me with the brace at no cost, but after receiving an email back from Cen Racing customer support it appears that it was missing other updated parts as well.
My local dealer sent the truck back and I found out yesterday that a new truck is on the way with all the updated parts and should be here Monday.
