read some stuff on the cen. Its HUGE! i dont understand how they can even call it a 1/8. Id say like 1/7 or 1/6. For the price tho id get the avalanche. U could spend $540 right away for the cen and go race but with the avalanche you could slowly work your way up and eventually produce a truck tougher than the savage and overall better than the cen
The Avalanche is a Great Truck(my Buddy has one), But it is Based on a Truggy like Platform and doesnt Have the CRAZY suspension Travel of some of the OTHER brands. If you wanna Do HUGE AIR jumps, I'd say some of the other MFG's have the advantage.
If you want to race in the Monster Class tho, The Avalanche is a Great Value, (everyone HERE knows that,Lol). It has a low Center of Gravity and its pretty Fast. All you gotta do is Change the tires for racing, and you're good to go.

you cant race the avalanche in the monster truck class, it has a center diff and its a buggy or truggy, the trucks have a trans not a diff.
