CEN Fre Buggy
 

Anyone had any experience with one of these....thinking of trading my crt.5 for one...did a search but didnt find much

RCM parts available for conversion?

Yes conversion parts are available for the CEN buggy from RCM. I have a Matrix buggy that is still nitro and a Matrix truggy that is converted to electric. I think that the CEN buggy is a great bang for the buck buggy, it is very strong, built like a tank, I raced it pretty much every weekend last season and hardly broke anything other than wing mounts. I added the RTR long chassis to it and a set of Jammin super bigbore shocks and after that it handled like a dream.

Here is a CEN Matrix I used to run as a nitro, I moved over to a Kyosho brushless buggy so I converted the CEN to brushless and gave it to my brother. RC-Monster motor mount, custom bracket to hold the Feigao motor together and a custom battery tray. Regarding the CEN, it is a good buggy for the money, durable and a decent racer, it comes stock with big bore shocks (16mm) and the Pro model has nice CNC parts. One thing to watch is the servo saver arm, many have broken this part I never broke the stock part but I replaced it with the optional CNC part just to be safe.
