dont buy one, trust me, been there done that, they dont really go 73mph, handling is poor and bad design makes the parts vulnerable to breaking and the parts arent that readily available and they are way overpriced. Buy a kyosho FW05 or Vone, even for bashing. id recommend the Fw05 as its shaft driven and u wont have to worry bout little rocks tearing up the belts if your bashing in carparks.

True, thanks for that, i had a look at the CEN it was 470 without any of the starting stuff, and the the FW05-t is 480 without the stuff, this is in Australian Dollars tell me what i should get

Get the FW05!!!!!!
No doubt about it.
Ive sold my cen (only 6 months old, payed $600 fully set up, sold for $260 )
because i have an Fw05s and an Fw05r. They are great cars, handling like the cen could never do and really arent much slower. The shaft drive gives no grief and parts are cheap as compared with the cen. Heaps of option parts are available too, u can literally upgrade the fw05t to an fw05r. Get the Fw05t+ if u can as it comes with the 2speed as standard. The 2 speed is $80 sold seperately so make sure u get one included. The + has a few other nice additions too.
Feel free to ask any questions bout the Fw05

wheels arent attached to the body. they are the same kinda setup as most other nitro cars.. id start with the T+ and go from there, they arent far off the S and even come with some better parts like the threaded alloy shocks.

hpi? they look like they will break if u pick em up wrong, and u dont see too many round.. why is that

have u ever OWNED a HPI? dude ill tell u...if a truck can keep up with the abuse i put it through its gotta be good....my hpi savage has been from off my roof to being run over partially and i had driven away......

the other day i was angry so i took it out for a spin and i unleashed my anger all on my truck..........coming down 90ks down the street around the bend and fully locking it to the left or right and just flip and barrel roll down the street.......or hi speed ccartwheels....and i didnt brake a thing.....and with the pik up thing.....LOL! i was so bored that i ended up seeing how far i can THROW my truck from the front bumper like a discus...i would spin around and just launch the thing 10 metres down the road....it landed pretty much everywere and i broke absolutely NOTHING....thats HPI for ya man....the RS4 can take abuse aswell
