For $125 shipped you will get your $ worth anyway. I have never seen one before.... :confused:

well that might just be the one you have. Im not big on jumping my rc nor do i treat them like crap. Is there some one eles that would be able to answer my question thank you.

Just fire it up and make your judgment from there. It should not hurt the engine for the 2-3 min you run it. Good luck!! :thumbs:

i sugest that you idle the first tank through it because what you are switching to may have diffrent oil type or content in the fuel just to let the motor get use to the diffrent fuel.

thats what i do and have never had any problem so far

most cen cars are very good ,i have personally seen this truck in action and it would easily be as quik as any other stock mt ,the engine on it is very good and has around 2 hp,one tip with it it does like it more on the rich side,my mate has this mill in his gv 1/10 on road.i have cen ct5 and it would be one of the toughest cars ive seen, ive hit gutters @ 70 odd mph and i have only broke $8 pivot balls,the plastic cen uses on most of its cars is top notch,another mate of mine has the matrix buggy,and its tough as he takes the word bash to a whole new level and i am yet to see the matrix break + cen's customer service is second to none,even down here in the land of oz,i had issue with steering servo so cen sent me not 1 but 2 mg servos free of charge,all i done was just send some pics and bang 9 day later i had new servos.......hope this helps:thumbs:

So ill do what i was thinkin ill idle most of the tank and then go from there i wana take the motor apart cuz it is a used truck and i dont wana have a issue come up that i could of cought right away. Well its good to here that Cen is not that bad,i got a good deal on ebay and i was very nervous to go threw with the deal cuz most of the lhs near me just sell Traxxas and Duracrap stuff. Im gona just get it going mayb post a vid and a few pics and see what you guys think. Im all so in the market for another cheap truck.
