Yes, I agree. The Cen MT2 is a very fun truck. Easy to work on, tear down, and rebuild. There are a few good engine options. Besides the powerful NT-16 factory engine, I have used the option engines such as OS .18, Epic .18, and my most recent install, a NX-3.0 .18 engine. In my opinion, the OS .18 engine is the best running and easiest to tune. The Cen MT2 is a fast MT truck, can obtain speeds up to 45+ mph, and beyond, I imagine with other engine options. The MT2 is very forgiving, with certain jumps and turns, as it has a "cat like" way of running around the track, with its 4 "tire" paws hugging the ground as you move around. This would be a great first MT for any newby. I own 4 of them.
