ls7505, Most of your comments are pretty much my experience with both my neme & genesis, However I found that stuff fun to resolve given my passion for tinkering..however some of the things you mentioned kinda annoyed me to read because they are so minor, but you do bring up a good point. I also think CEN factories do need to make sure the settings to get started are accurate. The needles in the carb maybe not, due to the many different climates this truck is shipped to. However I believe the factory should at least start th engine before it leaves the factory just as quality controll. Mind you I have not heard or seen too many bad engines from the factory.

Regarding the reviews the media(magazines) have conducted, you have to keep in mind it does not bode well for them to do much product bashing of a manufacturer that spends alot of money advertizing in their publications, as well as there is a possibility that they are reviewing "prepped" equipement. If anyone bases their purchase solely on a private publications review I feel sorry for them, but too bad if they find they are unhappy with their purchase. thats what places like this forum, your local hobby shop and the neighborhood track are for...Asking Opinions of people who have owned the product. or at least had an opportunity to use it.

My point is, this kind of write-up is needed for all of those who are trying to make decision on their RC monster truck purchase. One thing you did not mention, and to be perfectly fair and truthful, it needs to mentioned. Their is so much support for this truck(this forum for example), CEN's tech support is one of the best I have had the pleasure to deal with...Also any rc vehicle has its new truck issues, the genesis line is no exception.


Good write-up,
