Default I NEED HELP!?!?!?

Ok, i have had my eyes on the CEN MT2. Its in my price range and it looks like a good truck to get.

It comes with a .16 engine..... i was wondering what the biggest size i could upgrade to.

Also, one more thing, does it come with reverse, the place where im getting it from didn't say. If not is there any some sort of kit i can buy or what do i have to do to get it....????

PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!

i got a cen FF/MT2 i've had it bout 2 weeks once broken in motor runs great i think it' runnin bout 30 to 40 mph bening new thats plenty fast ( for me anyway ) i've had to replace both body mounts both front drive shafts local store had them in stock . the trouble (for me is it is cold here) is the repair time. I WANNA DRIVE IT. all in all it has been a very good truck!! i made some mods to the body , that stoped the body mount problem . dosent look that much like a " MONSTER" any more. but at 9$ a mount it's worth it . feel fre to e-mail me with q&a

the FF Stands for fun factor thats all it is the same truck. i got mine at a local shop and the owner gave me a glow stick w/ charger ,fuel bottle , wrench and a t-shirt . the guy was very very cool . it will probably go faster when it warms up out side . it is cold here now. i've had a blast driving it so far sans the repairs .

there is an article in rc car action about the truck, I will look for it later. It says it goes 45 but its over geared for off road duty. The 16 is a pretty big small block chassis engine. I think there are 18s though. A 21 would not fit the motor mounts or the space in the truck

.21 will fit. We successful drop a .21 into it. You will need .21 motor mount and manitold. Thats it.

Oh and play with the throttle linkage.

No reverse yet beause truck does not have enough spce for the transmission. Its a 1/10 scale.

Default If you are already talking about an upgrade??

I would spend that money on a better truck! :stupid: Also you will want a MT that has upgrades to get and CEN is not all that high on the list of having lots of aftermarket parts! Traxxas,Ofna and HPI have the shizznit for your trucking needs!

Hey I the think the CEN is an awesome buy, youre getting alot for the money and if your new to the hobby, the you will appreciate not having to buy all sorts of little hop-ups, because you will already have them and the CEN come with a two speed (not avail on A>E>RC10gt) If you have question about CEN direct them to CEN rep that posted above me he seem pretty knowledgable and can definitely tell you most about CEN. BUt MOst of all buy what you will be happy with not what evreyone tells you too.
