I have a brand new GST 7.7 and love it. So far I have almost a gallon through it and it seems solid and no issues. It did however come out of the box missing the O-ring on the main needle valve. I had to go back to the store and they robbed an O-ring from something else and got it to fit. I agree with others this is a hobby, something you work at and tinker with - which is why I got this in the first place. After all just taking something out and beating on it is only a small fraction of the fun. This sport is a money pit but we all know that going in to it and you need to expect that to some degree. For years I owned dirt bikes and that is 1 hour of riding and 3 hours of wrenching on it – that too was part of getting to know the whole sport. So enjoy and I do recommend this truck - it makes the others you will run with look like toys.

Was just wondering how in the world you get it that clean? What methods do you use? Nice looking rig!

I remove all the electronics, engine,and fuel tank and stick it in the dishwasher. when it finishes washing blast it with WD-40 then blow if off the compressed air. clean the engine with WD-40 and an old toothbrush. Gets everything sparkly clean.

CEN Racing, I would like to know who you are personally so we can actually get some good customer service with your company and someone that will stand up to a warranty. I am a hobby shop employee and we have never had good customer service from CEN Racing nor have they stood behind their warranty claims. A brand new engine on only it's second tank was not warrantied and it was not user error. You could see the problem when the motor was opened up. It was a manufacturer problem. You stated that CEN warranty was one of the best in the business? Don't think so, and I'm speaking from personal experience. You need to take notes from companies such as Traxxas, Associated, Losi, OFNA, Kyosho to name a few. Once you have learned from them, you will have good customer service because they WILL warranty engines on only a second tank.

Why don't you just sell it since it's such a pos? Then buy something else sounds pretty simple to me,then you won't need to complain so much about how the cen is such a pos.
