I haven't had a CEN Gen in particular, but I've used some of the parts for other vehicles.

The diffs are beefy, but they are made of cast metal. I had particular problems with the pinion gear snapping teeth. The internals are very stout however. Going to a machined pinion would be much better. The BP Sav diff pinion might be an easy upgrade. Ratio is a low 2.89.

The slider seems quite strong. The big question I had about it would be that the crosspin is small, and I wonder if it would stretch out the hole over time. OTOH, it is much stiffer plastic than a Revo's, so might not deform so easy. Everything is standerd size hardware, so just going to a cup and dogbone would be easy. May need a custom bone if you can't find the right length.

Parts seem cheap enough on ebay, but ordering directly from Cen is more expensive and sometimes slow.
