What would you do?
I have the opportunity to get a CEN (new) matrix 5 SC truck for less than 600 bucks shipped.... I know the diffs are terrible but I can get the diffs for 400 bucks.
You think it is a good idea to buy the cen and the mcd LSD? or just buy a nutech TB II and get it over with...
I love SC! The only complaint I know of from the FS models are the diffs and crappy quality bodies (and some plastics).
I am an indecisive person so help me out!

get a baja ss. lol
the diffs are sort of an important part. they need to be good especially in a big heavy powerful car.
i would get something else, or wait and see if cen will put out a better version.

Yea my plan all along way to the the TB II SS roller... But the offer I was given for the cen was tempting. I just wish cen had put better diffs... I friggin hate planetary diffs.

There is a guy over on LSF that is well over 10 tanks with no drivetrain issues yet, just a body crack but that is with all these cars these days.

its 2wd.... just for a start... there not the easiest to work on {as you pretty much have to either fight around the cage or pull the front end off to remove the cage
there are about 2-3 extra steps to install a different motor..... other then that its a great car to race
