Thats the exact opposite! The Genesis has a better power to weight ratio than the LST, Revo, or the Savage. It is also not slow at all. It travels at 50+mph stock. The LST was clocked at 44mph.

I think im gonna have to agree with snow here.

I would guess Cen went with the vert frame for simplicity and strength. Personally I would prefer this method over any other, especially for a basher. With 5" of suspension travel how do you compare it to a T-maxx? The top shocks are basically a cantilever set up that add dampning, but probably wont hold up with bashing. As far as the shocks go..if four big ones seems better than 8 small ones.....fine with me but the other features the Genesis offers is definately more exciting. 5 horsepower , 3 speed tranny, over 2 feet long, 50 mph top end.....This doesnt sound plain to me.

Sorry I forgot the smiles with your "joke", here they are. A few smiles is all it takes to cover up an insult? You sure there wasn't a little sarcasm in there?






Well Dean with the post's you have produced you obviously feel pretty strongly with your opinion on the trucks. You had a reply for my post with the no brain comment , my comment was there to keep the thread from getting locked. Now I get to read how you are comparing me to an idiot and "go get a dictionary".... How IS life treating you these days Dean?

Ahhh Why must you all talk and talk and talk some more about things you only dream of? I was reading on the previous page the words of some Dale Gribble saying that the truck is this and that and that HPI can file a legal suit based on design patents... Obviosly the man doesn't know much about patents. There are many companies and small shops who produce parts for the T-maxx for example. Do you think they have a contract with Traxxas? no they don't! They just make the parts slightly different which makes them legal according to patent laws! Patent Laws say that you cannot reproduce a design in it's exact form. So Mr Gribble.. you talk and talk and talk about things you know nothing about.
Another thing I red was that there are few hobby stores that will support the Genesis... Well I have 4 in my area that are certified CEN dealers so again the deographics are not everywhere the same and again Mr. Gribble talked and talked some more about things he is opinionated about.
And yet another thing... The Cen Radios... Ah I assume Mr. Gribble spoke from experience when he said that they are nothing more than junk ... Well Mr. Gribble... I know several people me included that own CEN products and radios and never complained about them a single time... Now if you want to complain just for the love of complaining you go ahead and do it privately without splashing dirt on companies like CEN in public without having anything in your arsenal but your own silly opinions.

Wait and see! then talk and talk and talk some more about what you've seen not what you think you're going to see!

oh I almost forgot... I am recieving a Geneis next week sometime and I'll be posting some honest feedback!
How do I know it's next week? I talked to Cen customer service and they have the truck in their warehouses ready to ship to hobby stores. Hopefully they'll be there next week by Friday.

I can't believe you people are still talking about a truck that hasn't come out yet. When i started this forum i was expecting a few quick answers and thats it. Yall keep saying the same thing over and over again[:@]. I can almost feel tension between CENheads and LOSIheads. I'm still deciding between both but after hearing that there will be many aftermarket parts for the genesis says t-maxx killer i'm back to being a GENhead again. I simply can't make up my mind. They are BOTH really good trucks in differnt ways. Why don't yall just shut up and wait about one week when a certain rcu member is supposed to revieve his. He promised to truthfully say how the gen is. I think that after what t-maxx killer typed this is going to get locked anyway.

It should be locked. If it cant be discussed in an adult manner, without insults, and rude gestures, then it shouldnt be discussed at all. Actually, it should just be deleted. This reflects really poorly on RCU when new people come to the site.

Thermal,
I think the problem is that there are not many adults posting in these threads. If you look at the average age of an RC'er(??) I'll bet you will find many in their teens. A big deal to many younger people is brand loyalty and sometimes this turns into blind loyalty. A good comparison to the Genesis/LST/Revo debate is the Sega/Nintendo/Sony battles of the 90's. Sega and Nintendo (Traxxas and Losi) were the big boys on the block when Sony (Cen) announced their new product, a lot of Sony bashing was going on by the Sega/Nintendo fans until many people realized that Sony had a good product. Now I think you going to see a lot of Cen bashing, weather it's deserved or not, until the Genesis proves itself. As for the mature debate, I think you're really not going to get that because of the younger age group that RC MT's attract.
That is my opinion and if anyone feels like I'm full of it then you are more than welcome to your opinion

My Feedback: (11)

Remember that this is a hobby. It's supposed to be enjoyable. Publicly trashing a product that isn't available yet AND nobody has tested means all opinions about power, support, handling, top speed, acceleration, durability, etc. are pure conjecture. It's like arguing the Losi XXXXX Kinwald 4 edition is better than the Associated B12!!!!!!!

I'm closing it down.
