CEN GST-E check it out

[aqwut]

Finally!, this would have save so much work. But, I prefer to use mechanical braking.

its out, but anything i read on cen says the stuff breaks so I figure i'll pass on it. thunder tiger doesn't seem to break so I'm looking into that now.

I have been running Cen trucks for a couple of years and haven't had and breakage issues worse than any other company. Don't always believe what you read online. If you hit stuff with a 15 pound truck they will all brake.

agreed, still multiple threads about it not being great while everyone says the mt4 thundertiger is quite durable.

other thing I am not crazy about with the CEN is the electronics don't seem up to par. the steering servo seems underpowered for the big cen wheels and the esc is 80 amps I believe and only goes to 4s. 4s is going to use a lot of amps. If I could run 6s, then 80 amps would probably be fine. Plus I run 6s in my lst2 and 5S would probably be best, but this truck is as big or bigger.

MT4 seems like a stand up truck, I wouldn't mind having one. But it's far from unbreakable. I've had my savage through worse than he's putting the mt4 through. Heck, even jang bashed the savage harder in his review.

I didn't see the review. I just know from reading many threads that aside from hinge pins, it doesn't seem to break much. Don't like that its a truggy with big wheels though. I'm waiting for someone to actually buy one of these new cen trucks to make a decision as my son will outgrow his mini summit rather soon and the cen tires are the best tires i've seen on a monster truck. Price is right too.

has anyone seen one of these cen gst-e or seen a review on it? I keep checking around and all I see are old notices talking about it coming out.

A bit of an old thread but thought I might bump it a little. I'm in the process of trying to buy a new RC to get back into the hobby and thought this truck might be a good option. I'm also kicking around the idea of the Thunder Tiger mentioned earlier in the thread since they're about the same price.

Cheers,
Steven

I've been looking as I'll have to get my son something soon and maybe myself. The Cen is awesome in that it has huge tires and they are really nice tires. The problem is they are really expensive tires too. You also can't really get parts anywhere except from CEN. Amain is selling it too so maybe there.

The thundertiger has same issues too, its really only from tower hobbies and ebay you can get parts just like with CEN.


Thundertiger you can run 6s, Cen you need to change ESC to do that, but with hobbyking selling 4s packs for 23 bucks, 4s is probably better way to go at the moment.

I haven't seen any reviews for the CEN truck, been waiting and watching but nothing. Thundertiger gets decent reviews but does need a few upgrades to make it nice. The one downside to the thundertiger is it doesn't really look like a monster truck.
