I bought a Cen CT-5 3 weeks ago. Inexperiance has killed my engine , so i bought a Cen 2.5 Turbo to replace for the dead .15 lightning . Problem is that after i ordered it i read a little more and noticed that it is a "Bump Start" engine instead of the regular "Pull Start" What exactly is a "Bump Start" and will i be needing something to go along with it? Finally, i have the pull start recoil from the lightning engine and i was wondering if it could be applied to the turbo?

A bump start engine means you need a starter box im not shur which one would work for it. How do you know you messed up your old engine sometimes it looks like its completly destroyed but all you really need is to change some parts and its good.
BTW what hobby shop you bought the cen from ive been looking for a cen hobby shop around here for a while now

There is NO hobby shop in Miami that sells anything for Cen. I ordered mine from hobbytron. com. I have looked everywhere and nothing. Apparently from talking to some of the local hobby shops, nobody wants to deal with the backorders and lack of customer support Cen offers them. I personally have had only good experiences with Cen

Same here i usto buy from alfs hobbies in pembroke they usto sell cen(thats where i bought my car) but now they stoped selling nitro cars and truck they only sell electric it sucks finding cen parts around here.

sorry about difficuties of finding parts. Any local hobby stores can simly call us and get the part mail out on the same day. It take no more than 3 days to anymore in USA. Its just matter of LHS want to take care of their customer or not.

We also have every single parts stock here in our CA warehouse. There is absoutely no backorder issue.

If you guys still have difficuites, give us a call and we will take care of you

Nah no problems i usualy order my parts from customrc, or toy haus so its all good, ive never had a bad experience with cen i actually would have bought another cen if it wasnt for my lhs crossing over to the elec side
