RE: CEN MT2 RTR Truck
Yes, the Cen MT2 is a good truck. Its a 45 MPH truck with a .16 CI engine, and four wheel drive. It also has a two speed transmission and is shaft driven. The MT2 is built on the Fun Factor smart frame and can be converted in to a stadium truck, buggy, and rally car. If you want more info go to www.cenracing.com or let me know.

RE: CEN MT2 RTR Truck
It is a very strong truck and I have been very happy with it. The only things I have broken have been from my own stupidity. Petrolpixie has some video on his web site, and if you do a search for Cen MT2 on google, you should come up with some reviews that have video.

RE: CEN MT2 RTR Truck
You will like it. It is not as big as the tmaxx or Savage but is it very "athletic". It handles good and has great power. Also as durable as any other truck.
If you bash a vehicle long enough....something will break. [:'(]

RE: CEN MT2 RTR Truck
It does jump well, and I would assume it drives well in mud. I don't really have anywhere here with enough mud to go drive in. I did drive it in the snow, but I destroyed my first gear spur because I had the gear mesh wrong. so I didn't get a really good feel for how it handled snow. After the limited time seeing how it handles snow though, it would work a lot better if you had some chains or studs for it. Due to the light weight of the truck (7 Lb) it has trouble getting enough grip.

RE: CEN MT2 RTR Truck
The CEN MT-2 is a great truck. The thing is unstopable. I have diven it in both snow and mudd, it drove well in mudd but a littel weerie on the turns on the mudd which I expect all trucks are. It is very fast and packes alot of power due to its .16 and power to weight ratio. I have had it for almost a year and it is nuthing compared to my T-maxx. I have only broken one part.
Basicly this truck is outstanding, you will kill most savages and t-maxxes on the corse and you will definitly have a tun of fun!
I got mine for 280 at ehobbies.com
Great truck, CEN makes good products and not to mention has insane customer support!

RE: CEN MT2 RTR Truck
Tzque, You may be able to find an LHS that carries the MT2, but most likely you will have to order it online. www.ehobbies.com has great prices, but you will also have to buy a nitro starter set. If you buy one on ebay (new) you can get them with a nitro starter set for 300 plus 20 for shipping. When you order parts, order parts from ehobbies. They are cheaper than anywhere else. I would recommend getting some extra diff cups and an extra set of spur gears. Also, when you get your truck check the gear mesh between the pinion and spur gears to make sure they are set right. There have been some reports of misaligned gears. Let me know if you get one, and let me know if you need any help.
