I test drove my neighbors revo and it was okay it got stuck alot in my feild cause of horse pooh , but if you run it on other terrain like dirt , sand , and grass , or asphalt it is a great performer .

Those are 2 very different truck. You may want to do a little more research, or at least let us know what you plan to do with it. Race, Bash, go fast, run over things, ect..

You know that day I found out it is bad if you accedently break youre neighbors truck , but it is better than breaking youre own .

I wanna run on everything that is possibile and so i'm thinking that the GENESIS is better than the REVO.

I'm asking also because i heard that the GENESIS have a lots of problems so i wanna also have a feedback from users that have it.

I don't have a Genesis, but I was looking to buy one and read alot about them. They sound like nice trucks, but require moe work to keep them runninig properly. Things such as the adjustable center diff, and the 3 speed trans sound like they need a little more time put into them to get them set. The Revo is more of a fuel it up and run it truck.

With what you want to do may I suggest a LST, or LST2. Thats what i have and I love it. I mainly bash it and it takes it well. It is bigger than a Revo (although smaller than a Genesis), so it covers more terrain, and will go up over curbs. Its also a much more popular truck than the genesis so parts are easier to find.

Ok. I have time to spend adjusting it :D :D :D

My fear was if it comes out with factory problems.

The REVO is very small so i don't like it too much. The LST2 is bigger than REVO but it feels more as a stadium truck.

For the spares i have a shop that sell CEN spare parts so i should be able to have them quickly. (but i hope to don't need them ;) )

For the moment i will take the GENESIS and maybe in future i will buy also a REVO or LST for race.

is this goin to be your first truck?for a first truck id rather get something like lst2..its set up to run on any track..well even the revo is set up to do that..anyway it all depends on your taste..if genesis appeals you most no matter what they say youll still buy it coz its the one u really want...and for sure youre goin to have fun on which ever you get..good luck

the Gen is a cool truck. if your lhs stocks parts for it and it fits your liking, get it.

Ok guys. Thanks for the support!

This is not my first truck. I already had a SMARTECH 1/8 but the structure is a little too weak. The set up maded with that motor was great and i had got a really funny truck but too weak. :(

Maybe is for this that now i like GENESIS :cool:

no offense bro but why smart tech?anyway even before genesis came out i said i wouldnt buy it coz its made by cen but i think theyve improved their stuff..so now i prolly consider one if i want another truck..i use to limit my brands to losi,hpi and associated and i even included traxxas at one point...
looks like ur set on genesis ...i heard its a nice big a$$ truck...

I had the smartech because for the low price of the model.

It was just 230,00 € completed with start-up kit

yeah, I had a Smartech buggy, That is where I got alot of experience......Because I had to fix it all the time, then i got an hpi rs4 3 ss and used it and did even touch the buggy for 2 year, then I sold them both. :(
I now have a Revo coming in the mail :D :D :D :D :D

smartech are really cheap... they just do copies of a product and sell them cheap... they have the smaller tag prize as their selling point but other than that, is just CRAP... you'll spend most of the time fixing than running them. i don't trust their products.

This is dissing my self and other T-maxx owners , but it is pretty much the buggy version of the T-maxx , but with the T-maxx after you get the hang of it , it'll hall a$$ .
