pipeous what pullies should i get

I emailed. they are a little slow to respond but they will ship. We discussed "gearing" options and he suggested i try getting a couple combos so you can change depending where you run and that made sense to me. since it's a different setup you won't have a lot of options so might be worth ordering a second set right away to experiment. When I sold the CEN I forwarded the info to my bud that bought it and deleted the email... can't remember off the top of my head what they were now sorry. but the tires on thise are close in height to the mt so I would look at the mt set and the next size down towards buggy gearing so you have torque and speed covered to find what you like. hill climbs and such might want to gear down. flat out go to the other type thing

but hell she's never happy lol

for this truck. made in germany. I think I posted a link to rc-force.de here somewhere.

this fixes the gears and gear plate in one shot. covered too.
So these gears wil work on the CEN matrix 5sc truck?

you bet, the fs line is just sold in germany under a different name. They didn't even have the CEN name on their site when I started asking questions. Guess I helped them find another line to market LOL.

It was the guys at FS Hop Ups that pointed this setup out to me when I was pitching the Demon RC setup.

hit a bump in the road on my order he sent me the bill so i can pay with pay pals but it in German
i cant read German can any one help

There's a website called ImTranslator.
It's like LSF. You sign up but it's free membership.
Simply cut and paste the German into the first box, set the languages (from GERMAN to ENGLISH) and off you go.
There is some literal translation so some thought may be required but it will help.

Can anyone tell me if this gear set is a good replacement for the stock nylon gears for the CEN matrix 5sc truck. I stripped mine out today and need to replace them. FShopups Steel Gears (FS Racing Steel Gears). Here is the link http://www.fshopups.com/tuning.htm

 

[pipeous]

I would say the steel would be a good replacement, especially for the small gears.

 

[glenn201]

if the belt drive ever gets here i will let you know how well it works
