I am glad CEN is having decent success with the platform and that Redcat is doing pretty good with the lowrider. It is good for the hobby to have some different vehicles. That red does look killer, now if someone made the polished aluminum rims the 450 comes with stock, that would be awesome.
1/4 turn zues fasteners maybe would be a good option. 1/4 turn fasteners like the what hold the panels on Arctic cat alpha snowmobiles would be very nice
They did a ford already, I wish they would do a Ram with Alcoa wheels. Not a mall queen, but something I could build a 5th wheel trailer for. Love your stuff, have fun.
I use Teflon washers between body and body post to reduce scratching of the paint and also rubber o-ringsfor noise reduction, I've also created clear plastic o-rings out of used packaging to keep the clips from scratching and gouging
Admittedly mate I'd switch out the America force wheels onto the new model just for the extra width and colour match 🥰 looks like such a beautiful model
I think this F-450 by CEN Racing is a bit of a missed opportunity. The chassis looks reasonable but the body doesn't have the level of scale realism that it could have done. Some of the details look very cheaply done, especially around the lights, grille and front bumper (those towing hook decals for example). A bit of extra effort on the body and it could have been fantastic. The dual wheel king is still the Cross-RC PG4L.
I mean what are you going to use this truck for? It's just a scale model. Get popular good quality cars. For example I have an xmaxx, Capra, scx24, 1/28 rally car. I want a bunch of cars, for example I want a e Revo. But I have an xmaxx. Can't justify it. Then driving my xmaxx helps relieve my wants for the e Revo. I'd only pick up a car if I have been wanting one for a long time.
I was concerned because I bought this exact truck and I hooked the battery up to it and cut the controller on everything and it wouldn’t move. I was wondering if you made a video on how to controller to the receiver for this exact truck
Nice looking vehicle but what I want to know is the wheelbase of the body, it looks mint and I have ideas. I'm off to search right now. Thanks for putting this on my creative radar. Keep up your good work love your videos
I still prefer the blue body, but i would lol 😁. Burnout truck, lock the rear axle, take off the front drive shaft, and add a break to the front axle....
Hello tomley, quite new to the RC world, need advice plse, I bought a brushless ftx vantage it came stock 2 s lipo 3250 mah hardcase, today bought a lipo 3600 mah 11.1 volt 40c, so the question is ( bear in mind I'm new to this) would I see a big difference in power? Im also to mesh the stock pinion back apparently with paper between the cogs, sounds silly but I have to ask as I'm new to all of this
WOWser, thats a big cool truck, beastly looking thing :) Wouldn't it look cool with a big swan neck attachment and a big ass trailer behind which was a dragster no prep transporter ;) lol
How much of a coincidence is that you released a new car video the same day Axial has a new release? Based on the SCX6, I imagine they didn’t send you one….
Not that i dont like the new 450, but its not what people have been begging CEN to release, we've all been wanting an 8s standard either redone reeper or an entirely new 1/5 8s monster truck but they keep just doing alloy upgrades for the 1/10 solid axle monster trucks or 450s
The F450 is probably one of their best selling rigs… so I guess they are capitalising on that at the moment. I’m hoping to get a Reeper in the next few months… they look really good
@@TomleyRC yeah, theyre pretty good, i have one that im running the 4985 1650kv hobbywing max6 combo in it. Its a beast, just waiting for christmas to come, i snapped a 3m bolt on my rear diff so its came loose and rounded the teeth enough to slip, but its been running more than 6 months with no issues until that happened, its a very strong gearing setup. Helidirect has the 80%roller for 520usd as long as you have the adjustable battery tray you can fit some good 3s batteries or a good 6s, i run dual 6500mah 80c ovonic rebels in mine and still have a little more room. I dont know if youve looked at their parts lists or upgrades but theres quite a bit
Nice review! I definitely like this version better than the first. The wheels on the first were just over the top for me. If they'd do a version of this with remote locking diffs, they'd have my money. If they're going to make it 4WD, might as make it perform. Didn't take much of an obstacle to make that thing diff out. With that super long wheelbase, if you permanently lock the diffs, the turning radius would suffer immensely. Just my opinion....
Would you please do a review on the hpi maverick strada range as im looking to buy a rx version brushless but as nobody seems to do a decent review in detail its harder to decide.
It's an ok truck. It's not 1/10th scale. My other 1/10th scale pickups are bigger than this, wider and taller. This might be 1/14th. Grill and lights are stickers. Body rattles on the posts.
The only worth it diference are the shocks. Narrower wheels means less rubber to the ground and 30.00$ more ! It would have been better if they wanted to have a more scale look +1 for an Alcoa wheel and tire set that would fit within the fenders. An other brand body would have been great too. Off road beadlock wheel and tire option would have been a good idea since a lot of people are doing it right off the box. For me it look likes they are missing a little bit of imagination.
Good vid. Interesting platform. Not a fan of any 4x4 truck with low profile tires...real or RC. I want sidewalls off road😉 A rear wheel drive, completely impractical mall crawler on the other hand, have at it.😂
The have cool front bumpers and winches n a cool tano cover for the bed on ebay for these I prefer the one on the shelf in background I think dullies are ugly!
I would definitely drop it on the ground and put the hottest brushless motor that I could fit with a 6's pack and send it! See how fast u can get it up to👍
oula! I'm not a fan at all, but then not at all at all. I find the body really ugly and the wheels hideous. It is badly proportioned, in short, no, I don't like it.
Wait a minute… you trying to actually say that people said the f450 that only has a lift and wheels, that it wouldn’t be an absolute boss for rock crawlin !? Complete noobs, Absolutely absurd too doubt the capabilities of these turds as an real truck. The real trucks overpriced x100 and this one is also overpriced 🤠🤦♂️🤷♂️
Has anyone ever tried making a canopy for the cen 450? Thinking of trying to but not sure how to go about it an think it would be cool to see others try as well as see what we all came up with. @tomleyrc if your interested I think it would be great to see your take on this!
as a Chevy man it tears me apart to love this RC so much!!!

I agree… so nice Solid rims would be killer! I’d love a low rider.. just can’t get them in the UK
At this point in the game, body clips should be a thing of the past👍
What should we be using then? I though about magnets, but issues with that.
A system like the xmaxx maybe but that's integral to the design.
1/4 turn zues fasteners maybe would be a good option.

I like the truck overall, but what's with the front wheel rims? They look like they came off a horse-pulled wagon.

They left it open for people to dump loads of money on it from the aftermarket retailers.
I agree it’s a cool looking rig but it’s a miss for the price.
Wow... What a beautiful truck, Tomley! 😮
I loved the color! Great ride there! 😃
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Thanks mate. It’s a beautiful colour
This channel is gonna empty my bank account seriously

Nice paint job 👌(prefer the red colour but I agree with you regarding the front 'Ford' decal)
I like how they’ve made the front shock hoops very similar to the stock ford shock hoops. Almost true to scale

I’m not sure… but it may be listed on the CEN website
3rd woohoo! an F450! Getin!
Caparzo Approved!
Did I hear absolutely awesome? They're 🤩 indeed really nice 👍🏾
Lol vin was like umm i want to take it for a spin lol
Haha
I still prefer the blue body, but i would lol 😁.
Burnout truck, lock the rear axle, take off the front drive shaft, and add a break to the front axle....
They r sweet trucks
Are the axles interchangeable with any other wheels? This is the perfect chassis for a project I'm working on, but I need larger tires.
They are 12mm Hex, so options for changing the wheels. I’ve got Drag Wheels on one of mine (off a DR10)
@@TomleyRC THANKS!!!!!
3 people uploaded this at the same time 😂 this must be a good rc
More than 3 😅

The f450 i have for some reason the steering auto adjusts please tell me if you know the problem
are wheels made of aluminum on the old model and plastic on the new model?
Plastic
Very nice car, shocks look abit stiff but all in all I'm impressed.
Yeah.. maybe a thinner oil needed
@@TomleyRC yip hopefully the springs are soft enough to give that Flexing suspension vibe.
Awesome video Tomley
Thanks mate
I bought one but I don't know how to connect the control if you can help me please?
Very nice looking truck
Keep up the great work

it looks elongated
The real thing is pretty long 😅

It’s the body post.
Argh! Body clips! I changed the ones on my Quantum Flux to some Arrma ones with the tag, easy pull and they don't ping off into the long grass
Yeah, one of my let hates
Love it. But can I go rolling coal with it?
Put a heat proof lining in the back and set fire to some tyres 😅

It isn't supposed to be a hard core crawler, and as long as it they are, locked would make you need a full parking lot to turn around.
They make a diff lock. I can't remember who but it might be QCRC? If not CEN does too I think
The AMERICAN FORCE (Blue with Chrome Wheels) is available in VERSION 2 with ALL the same upgrades that is id NOT mentioned here !!!
You published this video 8 hrs late....lol..! Awesome vid tomley
😂😂
AWESOME CONTENT AS ALWAYS
Cheers dude
hi👋, really nice version🤩👍, i prefer your drag f450😉, awesome project👍.
have a nice day✌
This one will be going full ‘SEMA’ 😅
Actually the "Rattling and Noisiness" of the body is true to scale for a FORD Dual-ly! Lol! #GMC
Make it into a dragster😊
Good video bro!👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks dude

I wanna make a pull truck out of this one for me.
Looks very cool except those horrible wheels. Been waiting on this.
Hoping some CNC’d KG1 wheels come soon
You have three of those know
CEN should make a FULL LIGHT kit for the 450 series Trucks WTF ?????????????
Second
First
That's cool, but a little silly.. a bit of a pavement princess eh.. I'd love to see it scratched up towing another truck out the mud
Yeah… it’s all about the looks in this one
Squat it
Nice looking truck but those wheels are not.
Some nice CNC’d ones will look awesome
Can i have it? 🤣🤣 I need an rc but nothing ships to my country for under 200 dollars
i want 1..but to expensive for my wallet. 😅
Mine broke with in a couple minutes turning around in short grass. 3 link is cheap garbage.
Oh God, another can't afford rc.😳😳😳🥺🥺🥺
Looks the same 🤦🏽♂️ Thanks Cen Racing 😒
