My whole family uses the CEN Racing products. I have 2 1/8th scale racing buggies for my son and I. I have the Magnum for my daughter and a mini madness for my wife. My son and I also have a Nemesis and a Genesis truck that we have modded over to make full blown racer's (we bash them hard too!)

The GST 7.7 will be next and the truggy arena truck when it comes out as well! We have been consistantly winning races at our local track and always have the best bashing trucks at our favorite bash spots

For a beginner truck it will be tricky at first to run the Genesis but I think you will love having the attention it barters to the track!
