CEN MG10-TR 1/10 Nitro 4WD RTR Truck

MG10 now comes with 3.0 Engine
Wider is better! The MG10 is wider than most 1/10^th scale trucks, this means higher cornering speeds and easy handling. Life is complicated enough, driving an RC shouldn't be. CEN Sport�s durable composite construction lets the MG10 survive the bumps and crashes a RC truck goes through. But not only is CEN Sport's composite blend tough, it allows the MG10 to be lightweight, which means faster acceleration than the competition. Best of all the MG10 is ready to rock out of the box.

H.I.C. by CEN Racing
CEN Racing is always striving to think outside of the box to bring hobby enthusiast the very best product available. We understand what the hobbyist seeks and expects in a product because we too are hobby enthusiasts. Our latest development is our state of the art H.I.C. or High Impact Composite. This composite has been proven and tested to be the most durable composite of its kind. After months of testing our engineers and research and development department have constructed the H.I.C. material that is exclusively available with the MG series vehicles. The composite is extremely flexible which will give upon impact. Not only does the H.I.C. material work effectively in that is doesn't snap or break, but it give the vehicle tons of traction and stability as well. We understand what the most important aspects to bashing, and jumping your r/c vehicles are, having fun and driving them. With the new H.I.C. material you will experience more driving time which will lead to more fun which is what the hobby is all about!

The MG10's 4WD can go places its 2WD competition can. A 4WD is faster in a high performance environment as well due to the fact that the truck can push and pull itself out of a turn. The 4WD drivetrain of the MG10 gives the truck added stability while driving in rough areas and is less likely to spin out.

4WD is user friendly and perfect for the nitro novice. You can spend more time driving instead of worrying about spinning out. The MG10 is also easier to jump due to the gyro effect of the 4WD while in mid air. Blip the throttle in mid air to keep from nose diving and stab the brakes to bring the front end down. CEN Sport designed the MG10 with one thing in mind, FUN!!!

As they say in the Navy, Farewell and Following Seas.

Electric Micro Heli Comparison

Today we’re going to review three different hobby-grade micro helicopters. They are the E-flite Blade CX2, the Heli-Max AXE EZ and the IMEX micro helis. Though these three have very different looks to them, they have many similarities under the hood. Let’s take a look. Here’s a quick chart for you to start with:

And for those that have a hard time finding parts, here’s a quick little chart to help out in those times of need…


As you can see, there’s not too much difference between these micro helis. The biggest difference is in the Blade CX2 – you get a 2.4GHz radio system, vice an FM system. The AXE EZ however, comes with the training gear. All three are priced under $200, so you really can’t go wrong with any one of these. This is a great way to learn to fly a helicopter for anyone.
