Leeds savage Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 Hi bud. I had one. I think they are getting on now, but when I ran mine it made my savages run and hide! have you seen it up close? check its the 7.7 as they do a 5.5 and others. 3 speed if you can get them all to change, and reverse, ABS etc. Miss mine!

Nitroholic Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 HUGE things .... and actually pretty good trucks. Only issue you will have is zero parts availability in the UK. I had one for a while. The parts can be had from the US though, and were pretty cheap. I picked up a pair of brand new ally cased diffs for under Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawkpalmer Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 I had the red chassis version! Mahooosive things and I had rear wheel steering on it too, 3 speed and reverse but like others have said spare parts are hard to find. Great trucks tho ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CEN Racing Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 Hey Guys, glad to see some of the GST 7.7's around, they are awesome trucks!! You can still get complete parts coverage for them, just give me a ring and I will get you set right up. Also, have a look at our website as we also have complete electric conversion kits for these!! A very nice kit too, I personally have 2 kits and love them! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richiemac Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 had one myself, ran it for a few years and only broke a few servos and conrod in the engine due to bad run in from previous owner, exchange engine from the us had me sorted in no time. my mate now owns it and im planning to buy it back.

Leeds savage Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 Yes - I am hoping to get some RC's soon (sold them all last year) and this is probably top of the list ! Also, can be had new at a good price at the moment: http://www.cdsmodels.co.uk/162-cen-genesis-gst-77.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CEN Racing Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 Nitro, we actually do still make them!! We also have the GST-E 4pole brushless version available around the world!! If you local hobby store does have them in stock, have them give me a call and I will get them set up!! START MAKING THEM AGAIN!!!!!!! They were epic trucks, and if you support them with decent spares backup, they will still sell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitroholic Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 Who is your UK importer? Hobbystore used to stock CEN stuff but I don't see any retailers carrying stuff in the UK anymore. Same goes for spares. That was the main issue I had with Genesis ownership. I could get parts from the US but nothing in the UK. If new ones are still available....I'll be on the lookout come Christmas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CEN Racing Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 Well then start saving your loot!! CEN is currently shipping directly to the UK from Taiwan. Shipping is very cheap and packages are arriving in approximately a week and track-able thru the royal post website! In the past, the main distributor in the UK was making it very difficult for the hobby stores and end users to get the spares they ordered. CEN is now dedicated to dealing directly with the hobby store and the end users to insure you can get your kits and spares easily with very little drama. As I mentioned earlier, just give the UK Customer Support line provided in my signature below a ring and we will get your order placed and your product on its way to you, very quickly! As an alternative you can always place an order on our retail website, which is linked directly to the warehouse so you orders are processed and shipped very quickly! Our retail website address is: http://cenracing.shptron.com/ So don't hesitate, get those orders in and get your models and spares on the way! X-mas is just around the corner!

Monster trucker Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 I bought a used one of ebay last week,It needed a bit of setting up but thats not the end of the world since learning what does what im over the moon with the truck and selling my uprated hypers,The gst is so much better then my mates savage,i locked the center diff and the wheelies/power is amazing,i also found out that rip max sell cen parts in the uk if needed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leeds savage Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 is there any official video of the Brushless model? X-mas is coming! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolfie1 Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 I have the 7.7 version, engine was bad from drawing air from new from the head gasket, a bit of high temp sealant sorted it right out and many hours of fun with it after that, the 4 wheel steering upgrade is good for low speeds but when travelling fast its not to precise, i reverted back to just the front steering Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExLimeyBasher Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 The Genesis was the first version of the Cen monster truck with the .46 cu in (7.7 cc) motor, it had quite a few problems. then came the GST 7.7 which fixed the problems, the Cen Nemesis is the same as the GST but with a few beefed up parts mainly in the drive train I think. They now have the GST,e brushless don't know much about the brushless as I am only interested in nitro. I bought The GST 7.7 about 7 years ago and still have it, found it to be a good durable truck, the motor is a bit of a bitch to tune. Like the fact that it has reverse gear. Plenty of spares available on EBAY. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

atom3624 Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 They're close to a proper 1/8 scale - BIG! Always been impressed with them, but never had any real support. Al. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
