CEN or HPI or Traxxas
 

I dont know what is better the CEN GST 7.7 or the HPI SavageX 4.6 i want one that wheelies good fast speeds and good handling

RE: CEN or HPI or Traxxas
 

why not the lst2 or the mgt.

RE: CEN or HPI or Traxxas
 

for handling revo is going to be your best bet

RE: CEN or HPI or Traxxas
 

Is lst 2 and mgt by losi

RE: CEN or HPI or Traxxas
 

LST2 is made by Losi. MGT is Associated. In my opinion, between these two trucks, the LST2 is the better.

RE: CEN or HPI or Traxxas
 

The HPI Savage and the CEN GST are basher trucks; veru heavy and not very fast. These are meant to take serious abuse. They will wheelie very easily but they will not handle very well unless you do some considerable mods.

I would totally scratch off T-Maxx from your list. If you want Traxxas, get the Revo. The Revo is a way better truck, and in many respects with little mods, even tougher than the T-Maxx!

The Revo is the best handler out of the pack, has excellent speed, acellereation and top speed wise. Though all these trucks have similar top speeds, the Revo will get there much more quickly.

Get an LST2

RE: CEN or HPI or Traxxas
 

the revo is the best if you are looking for a track weapon, and with a few mods can take a lot of abuse (although i am a fairly heavy basher and i am yet to make these "must have" basher mods because i am yet to break the stock parts) but it will not easily wheelie without a very well tuned engine and the suspension right.

RE: CEN or HPI or Traxxas
 

I have a Genesis same as the GST except for 3-4 mods. you can make these handle very good with the right shock set up. Mine will wheelie no problem and still give my friends LST w/pico a run for his money. If you want to save some serious money pick up a used Genesis LIMITED the difference between the limited and the GST are:

This is from CEN

The main difference is the brake syste,m (GST uses the nemesis set-up) and the servos and radio are slightly different. Also the motor has been improved with slight porting and timing differences.
Thanks for the great questions,

I picked up a Limited for $220 RTR

Out of the three CEN MTs, does all three (Nemesis, Genesis, & GST) come with the center diff and front/rear MTM brakes? These alove are innovative and what catches my eye when looking at monster trucks.

RE: CEN or HPI or Traxxas
 

I'm pretty sure that the Nemesis was the 1st to come with the center diff, that being why there's a need for the rear brake.. I don't think the Gen LE has the center diff.

RE: CEN or HPI or Traxxas
 

the Genesis, Gen LE and GST all have a 3 speed tranny w/reverse, the Nemesis has a 2 speed no reverse. They didnt put a 3 speed in the Nemesis because it is geared more for track use. They also didnt add the upper horizontal shock and a few other things to save weight.

The Nemesis and GST both use MTM brake system. The Genesis and Gen LE do not.

People talk about part being hard to get but if you go on ebay you can usually get replacement parts and the upgraded GST parts pretty quick and cheap!

RE: CEN or HPI or Traxxas
 

GST rules... its a very impressive basher. I raced mine sometimes. Its not as quick as the revo but it is as competitive as the LST with some simple mods.

all GST has center diff and MTM brakes

RE: CEN or HPI or Traxxas
 

I would get an LST2. Its the best all around monster truck.

RE: CEN or HPI or Traxxas
 

As for getting CEN parts, I am trying to build GST/Genesis/Nemesis diffs to put into my Savage ue to their reknown durability. I am having probs finding on e-bay or anywhere elses where someone has a GS002 (I need another 4bevel spder gear set) and the outer bevel gears.

RE: CEN or HPI or Traxxas
 

Hey SavageJim, I just checked www.customrccars.com and they have the diff part you need[&:]
