RE: Really a differnce?
You can get parts from Cen directly. They usually ship USPS so figure about 2-3 days for delivery no matter what part of the country you are in.
And if the buggy shown in your avatar is the one you have, that is a C-1 model. That is the older version, Cen has a new R2 model that is lighter more responsive in my opinion....they also changed the engine to a more powerful version.
