[@mufffinman4203]

heat gun on the body shell.. if you dont want to cut for clearance heat it up slowly use something metal and round and slow flair the arches so the wheel sits under :)

[@mrmagoo.3678]

Good Idea.

[@mufffinman4203]

@@mrmagoo.3678 works with hard bodys also. lots of old rc body you can melt to fit newer chassis, got a mitsubishi pajero nikko and a dodge ram 1999 1500 to fit on wpl c24. i use magnets to hold the bodys on and then Velcro the battery inside the body shell.

[@chomiccombatkarate1793]

Cool

[@Dredgethemuck636]

Fantastic idea

[@muskokamike127]

7:08 when running a rally car on the pavement you should stiffen up the shocks as you don't need the large suspension travel. When you go into rally, dirt, sand, gravel and pavement you'd need softer spring rates. I bet this would be a blast on a true rally course.....now if you only knew someone with some property!!!

[@TidyRC]

So, I literally had one of these delivered today. CEN have sent with it a a rear bumper(part number CM0411) and it’s to support the body at the back and sort the problem of the shell catching and folding up. I have to fit it but CEN said on their second batch it will b fitted standard. 👍🏻

[@evoermine]

Looks absolutely brilliant. You shouldn’t have to trim the body though on an expensive quality RC. Strange they’ve released it like that.

[@TomleyRC]

Yeah, I agree… shouldn’t of needed sorting out the box

[@taxationistheft2.0]

couldve lifted the body with washers???

[@phukkitt]

2 years in the making, you'd think they'd catch that. Amain also had missing screws and had to trim the body on theirs...

[@jordangardner3041]

of course i cant be certain but the camera resting on the back of the body probably didnt help

[@taxationistheft2.0]

@@Isabella-tf1qc naw I don't believe in fairytales.

[@Rob_TheOne]

Wow been watching rally for years, this is the best rc I've ever seen. 👍

[@TomleyRC]

Certainly looks awesome

[@heavenisalie]

I’d love to see a direct comparison video with the WR8

[@rustytoolman4912]

The shape and design of the chassis looks great for keeping the rocks and sand out. Looks like a bag would finish it off nicely. Great video thank you for sharing.

[@TomleyRC]

Yes, a net cover would work well

[@mrmagoo.3678]

a PLASTIC bag?.. wouldn't that stop the SpeedController being able to breath? agree about the Tub tho!.. They REALLY help keep the cr@p out!.

[@philkennedy1105]

Don’t want to go off topic but elasticated stocking over inside 🤓👍

[@kendrickh91]

Keep the Rally cars coming rc manufacturers 🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿

[@KunoRCAdventures]

Would love to see a comparison to the WR8, size, handling, speed etc. thanks!

[@rcplaytime]

So smooth and quiet,looks beautiful 😃👍👍👍😎😎

[@thriftest]

Back in the 90's and early 2000's the american tracks had 1/10th rally cars run on them, the rally weapon and HPI RS4 rally. The racers would basically cut off the front bumper to let them land jumps better. This looks super cool!

[@takalakjones3248]

Yes! Always more Rally!!!! Now if only I had room in my yard for an 1/8 scale dirt track. Lol. Looks like this one will be added to my wish list, right next to the WR8.

[@TomleyRC]

1/8 garden track… yes 👌

[@SharkysGarageRCandMore]

So glad you ran it on dirt, yest rally blocks would sort that grip. Love the tub chassis and the aero venting. Definitely on the list !

[@ReadySetRC]

Amazing rally car. Looks like 2023 could be the year for rally releases.

[@TomleyRC]

Yes.. let’s hope we get a New WR8!

[@somedudewithakeyboard]

@@TomleyRCThere is already a review released on Amain channel and the shop is taking preorders. That thing is going to be awesome. Though that same blue Subaru body is starting to get annoying.

[@Jamesbond22855]

Keep the rally cars coming, I'm loving it!

[@therealmccoy33]

Excellent video and review!! Thanks!

[@geof3j]

New subscriber and new to all you do, but loving the enthusiasm and the sensational camera work. Excellent work.

[@TomleyRC]

Thank you… plenty more stuff to come. Stick around 😎🤘

[@disciplinerc]

Gorgeous 🤩 Must. Have. One. The tub chassis is great and on 4s would be rocket 🚀

[@gormantom20]

Hi Phil, lovely work on the one hand driving and camera work. I'm well impressed. Wish i could do the same.

[@TomleyRC]

Thanks mate. Years of practice

[@brianoliveira698]

Looks amazing. I would just raise the body posts in stead of trim body. Lots of tuck and squat for clearance.

[@georgivoyvodov1123]

CEN were very well known back on 2000's . I still have my 1:10 CEN monster truck alive and bashing. They were stuck in time for a while, but this one is a good shot from them. You shold try their new F-450 one day mate ;-)

[@TomleyRC]

I think 3 F-450’s are enough 😅

[@AphexTwinII]

​@@TomleyRChe's new

[@Lee.gRC27]

This brought back some memories of watching the Lombard Rac rally at Trentham (s-o-t)in the late 80s/90s and getting smashed by bricks 🤔🤣

[@TomleyRC]

😅

[@joejohnson1969]

Yeah, I love it awesome power slides on gravel 40 45 mph is all you really need sometimes just to switch off for a little while and have some fun . 👍

[@raap5l]

Looks fantastic. Sounds smoother than the WR8. Still the best car ive ever had out of the box, just a little noisy.. does this have the same dimensions? I’d love to get that body

[@2149mike]

I thought CEN Racing was outdated, that's what my local hobbyshop told me, but now when I see this, I need it. Always been a fan of CEN Racing, and now that car is out, i need to get one😍🙌🏻

[@robertruiz5417]

Shops will tell different from what's on their shelves to sell you the products they have in stock

[@robertruiz5417]

Iam a professionally certified Rc car technician my recommendation is to subscribe to few good youtube Rc car channels to stay current on new products and order on line from A Main hobbies. HORIZON HOBBIES OR OTHER ON LINECTHEY WONT GIVE. BS Advice

[@HobbyPerfeXion]

Great vid and review as always!

[@CPB24421]

When u click refresh on your subs and 10 of the RC channels u follow all have a picture of this car... lol

[@TomleyRC]

Yeah, official release was 9am EST…. someone went 5 mins early, so I went 3 mins early 😅

[@Ter1000zx10r]

Really nice, looking car and looked a lot of fun. Enjoyed as usual.

[@Daithlee]

Maybe this has been asked but what do you used for filming? Is there a transmitter camera mount you use and prefer? Thanks in advanced, sir!

[@nemesis8664]

Allrighty! Looks super well designed and capable. CEN nailed it with that one. As a rally machines enthusiast I need that sweet candy like right now! Sir, thanks again for your time and dedication, cheers!

[@TomleyRC]

Thanks dude. It’s a beauty

[@bits2646]

Absolutely stunning, especially for a bat out of the box car, love the surviveability, easily compares to real Rally1 car :DD

[@jimmyray2824]

Looks awesome! Can’t seem to find it for sale in the UK though?

[@unloveableandre]

[@Utube2Itube]

For 3s batteries, what capacity will you be able to fit in that compartment?

[@RoostedFilms]

Looks great but how's parts availability going to be ?

[@julianpoulter3773]

Great vid. What camera were you using? (camera on the car)

[@Nelson-slot]

Love it. I would really love to know the ground clearance on these rc rally models. Good stuff again!!

[@kevintaylor1626]

This one has .98 of an inch clearance (so basically an inch)

[@Nelson-slot]

@@kevintaylor1626 Thanks for that very kind of you!!

[@TreysRCfun]

Rally cars on the dirt is so fun!

[@longboardguy]

Great review thanks! You know I always want a on-road type car but the road surfaces and parking lots aren’t perfect here mostLy. So I’ve never wanted a 1/10 car. Or a true on road car. This rally fits that bill perfectly for parking lot bashing for me. And I love rally cars this one looks awsome. And I remember CEN from back in the day always thought their nitro stuff was cool never had one though.

[@dancoates84]

That looks like a machine that would suit Riverside RC complex rally track Ken ❤

[@Sol-hl2rj]

That looks absolutely good.. tempted to try my first CEN

[@TomleyRC]

It’s an awesome RC Car for sure

[@5ShotProductions]

@@TomleyRC I know I‘m (as always) late to the party but first I do have to explain something: I‘m 45 years old (or young 🥴) and I do want to get „back on the RC train“ again. I had, back in the days, two TAMIYA RC cars, one of them was a black kind of „Big Foot“, if I remember correctly it was all black with a few decals on it and the rims were red I believe. But don’t quote me on that, cause it was a long time ago… And then I had a TAMIYA buggy, but again, we are talking here 30 years plus! Now, after watching a lot of videos, I do want to buy exactly THIS RC car for me. I know it‘s a bit on the pricier side but I think it‘s worth it. 👏 BUT can you explain to me what the difference is between the batteries? 2S or 3S? Obviously one difference is the power, but what 3S battery should I buy, are there any differences in the 3S batteries itself? Where can I ideally buy them online? (Btw: I do live in Germany!). Do I need special chargers for those 3S batteries? Do they come with different connectors? 🤷🏻‍♂️ Any help would be highly appreciated! 🙏 So, thank you @TomleyRC for this and the other videos, I really appreciate it and had a lot of fun watching quite a few videos of yours during the day. 👍 All the best from Germany 🇩🇪, Philipp 👋

[@dongarnier5890]

The "tub" construction reminds me of the old Saab Sonnet construction. Maybe meant to stiffen up the chassis? 1:1 rally cars were always trying things to stiffen the chassis for better controllable performance.

[@JonnyJetson754]

Its an original very neat design well done review

[@PhilipCockram]

Good review . Nice car .

[@speeedy_rc]

This an excellent review. The car looks fantastic and performs very well. I think they will sell a few of these.

[@TomleyRC]

Cheers dude

[@NathanStorer-RC]

Seems to be some quality control issues. Amain did a review and they also were missing screws. Their bumper wasn't attached to the shock tower so they had to find a couple of screws. Still seems awesome, so I guess it depends on price.

[@camptube7621]

Could you not adjust the shocks to avoid trimming?

[@7badtothebone]

Cleanest one handed driving on the internet 🤘🏼👊🏼

[@wolfenher6937]

I was watching a video on AmainHobbies and they had one issue of the motor mount screw being loose when they drove around harsh dirt areas but thankfully it was okay. Just wanted to point out to keep an eye on the motor mount screw.

[@TomleyRC]

Yeah, saw that 👌

[@cruzitocustoms]

which would you choose and why? XV02, LC racing PTG2r or Cen racing?

[@ShanksProductions]

Where are we buying these in the UK phil? Looks class 👌🏼

[@GhostRyderFPV]

Wishing Ford had a Global nameplate they could use for rally - 'Puma' here is just a defunct shoe brand, and large cat nobody can recognize. Except here in Florida, somehow. This little car looks _the business,_ I hope it comes with different shells, maybe a recognizable one for us Colonials? Some sorta bro-dozer or jellybean SUV, I guess lol

[@EDMDUDE28]

Wow that's amazing rally RC

[@TomleyRC]

I agree

[@mrmagoo.3678]

Oooh..I'm liking THIS!.. sounds well made too (apart from the missing bolts!) just sounds smooth running tho.

[@AphexTwinII]

I have to say, since I’ve been I. The market for an RC car, I’ve been watching a lot of your content, and your cinematography is really quite beautiful! I searched for cheap brushless etc car and this came up…I’m thinking this isn’t really cheap in terms of what I’m thinking, however…this thing is so beautiful and cool, I might just be sold on this. Any recommendations on something similar to this? Performance and looks are all that matters to me, if it needs a bit of work out of the box I’m willing to do that. ❤ keep making these great videos

[@christopherbautista6998]

Just watched RCDriver video of CEN Racing rally car. And after the test run, he pointed out that body post flexing is causing the rear body tucking problem.

[@TomleyRC]

Yes I saw that, but also being very close to the rear tyres

[@fladder1]

Awesome video, and awesome car, how does it compare to the wrc McRae car?? First feeling i get from this is, it's a better buy.

What you think about car ZWN s910 /s910p 1/16?

[@0wl999]

Needs slightly longer a-arms and better shocks, ones with progressive stiffness/dampening as they compress. Only then could it be setup as a proper rally car.

I love cenracing products. I have the hl mt and the 2wd mt wheelie machine. And they have not broke in anyway at 1 yr of bashing. One diwnside is the 2wd mt needs some kind of plating on its screws bc they rusted rite away. But thats minor. Plus their double pinion gear is great innovation.
