  • The Cen Racing F450 is definitely cool, but why is it so expensive? With it's mall crawler looks and internals that leave something to be desired, I show you all the upgrades I've done and take it out to see how well it crawls, how fast it goes and how well it tows. We'll discuss the good, the bad and the ugly when it comes to this RC truck.

    Who really actually "needs" any RC car. If it makes you smile and brings you enjoyment, then it's worth it. I been eyeing one as a tow rig also, might pull trigger this year.

    I found it on sale for $330 in fall of 2022. There is no way to "justify" any of these RC purchases - they are just fun!

    I got it on the $329 sale. It's solely a looking tow truck. 2.2 rim /5inch tires and 40mm lift and I wanna add more. It's a builders truck.

    I Have one, Bought it for towing, It's not a crawler, I have Crawlers and I make stuff. I use it for towing and built a gooseneck. I will say I did replace the motor, rc4wd crawler motor to help with towing torque. I'm running the stock servo, gearbox & driveline but I did do custom frame extension to correct the hitch mount location. Custom made gooseneck hitch. I do wish it had different body mounts. Look my videos of it.

    I got the kg1 silver one. It's a good tow rig but falls short on speed. However with my custom built trx-4 and gatekeeper on a customer trailer this thing just looks cool and I junked the radio system in it immediately. Added a 12 turn aarma motor and I'm happy with it.

      Lol translation I really want the cen 450 than I looked the price . Human nature I bet you been more complimentary had you got it for free . It's exactly what said cool but should be alot better . At this point they just making any ol price bc they know we buy it . 🤷 it's the only one purley a marketing score for them . If there were others that truck would be 299 tops . Hell...charge 600 and make it really nice light buckets clear windows hw10 esc ..this making Traxxas prices look pretty good. Trx 6×6 is a tank well built

    It is an awful lot of money for basically a car hauler. I've avoided this for basically all the reasons you pointed out lol. If it was a bit closer to the $200 price point, I certainly would consider it. I feel something like a TRX-4 Sport or SCX10 would be just as capable, if not more so, at towing a trailer with a car.
