    I had a fun factors ATX and it went well enough, though all I did with it was bash it around a bit, nothing serious. I didn't have any problems with it.
    Though in saying that, my stormracer seems to go faster and it's only a one speed buggy, but again I didn't mind the cen at all no major probs with it, bit pricier maybe ...

    I liked the old CENs when they had the 12 engine.
    The 16 engine I liked a bit less. It was more powerful than the 12, a few ran very hot and had to be minded during the running period...I know that a lot of "run-it-in-on-16%-guys" had seizes beause I got some to un-seize for them, but was that the car's fault? Probably not.

    yeah I soft seized my cen a few times while running it in on 5% nitro but it was no biggie it unsiezed easily enough and once the engine was run in it performed very well, only glitch was with teh 2gear, it didn't always get in to 2nd but to be honest it went pretty fast anyway so I wasn't that pushed about it.

    I have a CEN ST2 a little over a year now and Ive put some money into it (there is almost little
    to no standard parts on it).the engine runs very well Ill give it that much but some off the parts just break very very easy for e.g. the front CVD's dont ask me how many times Ive had to replace one and on top of that they are 50 euro a go. Since Ive had it the steering never worked right the servo is aload of crap.I could go on and on but Iam gettin an all new REVO when I go over to florida in april.
