Jump at 14:55 is ... gorgeous... that's the word... nose up then perfect smooth landing... slo mo viewed it 5 times! And 18:00 is 30 seconds of some the coolest bashing I've seen! Oh sheesh, the jump at 19:35 ... I'm going to buy another reeper... too cool!
Granted, it is not quite as durable as I'd like it to be, but it actually performs fairly well once it gets a few upgrades. The parts are available and it is fairly easy to repair. I think it's just a bit misunderstood. I don't really think it's toy grade though. Thanks for your perspective. 😎👍
I would adjust the body down a bit on the mounts, also if you check out alza racing as well as the cenracing website they have a good amount of upgrades, including aluminum shocktowers, and can 1/5 motor plates
great review! You are tempting me by rating it 4th overall. But I have to see which to bump off my list. There are 3 6s Arrmas, 1 Traxxas and 1 Losi that make up my Top 5. Hhhmm. Awesome vid. thanks for going through all the details! The rear v5 Notorious shocks got a little longer. That might be a perfect replacement for your rears.
Thanks. I have already installed the EXB shocks on all 4 corners. However, I did have to upgrade the springs to a stiffer version. The suspension rocks now. Thanks for the comment. AJ 😎👍
i have both...n sold off my xmaxx....with alittle tweak here n there..the reeper perform alot better than the xmaxx...even sturdier ...my xmaxx got several breakkdown issues that got me fed up with it..,,,,CEN definitely nailed it with these kit
I'm glad you've discovered the up side to the Reeper. A lot of people take it at face value and don't try and fix the issues with the truck. There aren't that many issues, and they are pretty easy to rectify. So, good on you. Live, bash, smile. AJ
@@AJJAMStudios what’s the regular issues please AJJAMstudios I like this tho I have the savage flux xl😎🤤🎯🎯 your great reviews make taking the fiscal jump that much easier thanks for sharing
Hello. Great review. I'm very interested in this Cen, but it's a 2017 model now. Is a new version coming, do you think we will have parts for a long time. Thanks.
From my research I can tell you the parts appear to be available from the Cen Racing website. The car is still the same as the original release, with the addition of the American Force version, which is Red, White, and blue. It is a fairly light truck for its size, the factory tires are not the greatest, but the thing is a blast. I would recommend better tires, a Gyro radio and faster servo if you're thinking about getting one. I hope this helps. AJ
You know what's funny is both trucks look small in the run vid. People don't have a clue of the actual size unless they have seen in person lol. I had to buy both & they're awesome, X maxx runs on water & although I never tried I would say the Reeper could lol ! I'm not going find out . Thanks for the run 💯👊
One day you will see my Reeper do it. The Xmaxx does, that much I can confirm. I bought the 24mm extended hubs for the Reeper so it can run the Xmaxx tires. Also, I did switch the shocks out for the EXB rears, plus the spring upgrade. The Reeper is bitchin. By the way, I installed a gyro radio as well. More videos to come on the subject. Thanks for the comment. AJ
@@AJJAMStudios Awesome! Keep them vids coming 💪. For the run on 💧water , all I can say is you first lol . You got a link for budget friendly Gyro system I would appreciate my friend. I'm new to 1/7 & 1/5 completely different animal. Salute
I went to Ebay and searched the Felony radio, it is a DX3 with the Spektrum SPMSR6100AT SR6100AT 6-Channel AVC Telemetry Surface Receiver. You can find them for under $100.00 complete; sometimes as low as $70.00. Right now there are a bunch of them on EBay. Good hunting. AJ
@@AJJAMStudios I appreciate the info ! I read that the truck is prone for the shocks leaking oil. I can't locate a shock upgrade that will fit lol . Did your shocks leak ? my truck is still brand new, haven't had that issue yet 🤔
No leaks in the shocks, but once I trashed one I installed the Kraton 6s EXB rear shocks all the way around the car. They need spring upgrades but they fit on ok, however, I did have to use silicone tubing on the bolts instead of using the standoffs, but they are holding up just fine, with no issues, and the response of the suspension is much better than they were with the stock ones. The stock shocks were too limited in travel for my taste, and the new ones rectify that nicely.
Hello my friend.the american force version of cen reeper has any differences from this version except tyres and body Because i found this version used in a very good price and im thinking of buying it! Thank you veru much!
It is different from a lot of RC cars on the market. Still, if it doesn’t speak to you, don’t get one. I only get the ones that thrill me. Thanks for commenting 😎👍
If you dig desert racer type trucks I would recommend the Mojave. But if you dig monster trucks the Cen is good. Myself…Mojave, all day long. Thanks for asking. 😎👍
All that has been done and it did improve the truck, but it's still a bit squirrely. I think it's due to the lighter weight, but it's still a blast to run. I'm thinking of a way to change that weight issue for the better. Only time will tell. Thanks for the comment. AJ
Α friend of mine said to me....i'm between A.Kraton v5 6s or C.R.Reeper! I said kraton,he bought C.C.R! This car is better that i expect! If you guys have 2nd thoughts about buying this rc,trust me...,DON'T! ! GREAT VID AND NICE DAY! !
very nice content, nice review and an even better channel. thumbs up for the effort! (ps: even the music is high-end)
I really enjoy your attention to detail.
Thank you.
That was bada$$! Definitely see the traction issue on the pine needles... awesome comparison bash!!
Great review and a thorough inspection. Gonna have to put it thru it’s paces
Right on

Wow, thanks!
Great video I was looking to get this truck now I know the modifications it needs I’m ok with that thanks aj
Anytime 😎👍
Amazing video! Very helpful!
Thank you. 😎👍
I will be honest as l feel it’s my duty to your channel. Looks completely awesome. And a bit toy grade!

Good in depth review. Seems to take the beating unlike like the Kraton vs. Xmaxx
Also losi lst springs and even shockss will fit
Yep but they're very rare now I just bought ever set I seen on ebay and any other site I seen on Google selling them. Now I have tons of them lol.

@@AJJAMStudioswhat are your recommendations for issues to fix?
I'm very interested in this truck. Hope it is still holding up well for you. Subbed.
It is holding up good. Minor breakages mostly.

I can’t answer that, I don’t have one. As far as that goes, it is their latest version so it’s at least as good as the Reeper. Thanks for asking 😎👍
Also they sell aluminum shock shaftguides
Good video. Do you still recommend it over the xmax
Unfortunately the Xmaxx is third in our count, so no. The Xmaxx is just a heavier rig that handles things better overall. Thanks 😎👍
@@AJJAMStudios well. I watch your count of best Rc’s . Thx.
Its funny it looks like a walmart rc on the outside, thats my only gripe on wanting to get one.

Отличное видео ! Мне понравилось.
Thank you for the positive comment. AJ.
I wish they put the shell of the reeper on the xmax .. it looks way better
which one would your purchase between the mojave and the cen?
If you dig desert racer type trucks I would recommend the Mojave. But if you dig monster trucks the Cen is good. Myself…Mojave, all day long. Thanks for asking. 😎👍
@@AJJAMStudios your reviews are so detailed I love them.
Thank you 😎👍
If you were to add 50 weight in shocks and wheelie bar and a radio that has a gyro and then the XMAXX has competition !!!!!!!!
All that has been done and it did improve the truck, but it's still a bit squirrely. I think it's due to the lighter weight, but it's still a blast to run. I'm thinking of a way to change that weight issue for the better. Only time will tell. Thanks for the comment. AJ

Awesome. We here are working on improvements for the Reeper which should make it a bit more grounded and controllable. Thanks for the comment. AJ
