Hey I the think the CEN is an awesome buy, youre getting alot for the money and if your new to the hobby, the you will appreciate not having to buy all sorts of little hop-ups, because you will already have them and the CEN come with a two speed (not avail on A>E>RC10gt) If you have question about CEN direct them to CEN rep that posted above me he seem pretty knowledgable and can definitely tell you most about CEN. BUt MOst of all buy what you will be happy with not what evreyone tells you too.
