Handling isn't even close, the Revo blows the Cen MT2 out of the water. Revo also accelerates faster although the Cen MT2 has a higher top speed. I attirbute this to the Cen being so much smaller then the Revo... As far as jumping, I haven't had a chance to really test the Revo, but I have broken multiple parts on Cen in the few weeks I've had her during small jumps... The Revo definitely has much better quality, and if I had it to do all over again, I would've saved my money and went with the Revo right off the bat...

i expected something like that lol, man, seeing them next to each other makes the cen look a bit dated...

I have seen the revo in action.... great truck with all the new technology built into it... But that is what you should expect for around $479.00... The cen is still a bargain at $279.00... Yeh its a bit dated, but it works well and will keep up with almost anything out there.
as far as acceleration... It easily keeps up with the revo, if yours is slower, maybe tuning differrently may help... Handling, I would agree the revo is much better... lower CG than cen and wider wheelbase equals better control..... Enjoy both trucks and welcome to the club....

also you should be looking to buy a couple of things for your revo, firstly you need to get some alloy shock ends as the stock plastic ones are weak, they will stretch and break if you do anything more than light onroad driving with your truck, second you should get a good airfilter on there, you can buy a motor saver for a few $ off e bay, definately a good investment
