The Cen Racing F450... Why is it so expensive?

The Cen Racing F450 is definitely cool, but why is it so expensive? With it's mall crawler looks and internals that leave something to be desired, I show you all the upgrades I've done and take it out to see how well it crawls, how fast it goes and how well it tows. We'll discuss the good, the bad and the ugly when it comes to this RC truck.

Who really actually "needs" any RC car. If it makes you smile and brings you enjoyment, then it's worth it. I been eyeing one as a tow rig also, might pull trigger this year.

rc sparks is in the middle of one of the worst mid life crisis i have ever seen holy hell it’s painful to watch i used to really love that channel now i can’t stomach it

I found it on sale for $330 in fall of 2022. There is no way to "justify" any of these RC purchases - they are just fun!

I got it on the $329 sale. It's solely a looking tow truck. 2.2 rim /5inch tires and 40mm lift and I wanna add more. It's a builders truck.

I Have one, Bought it for towing, It's not a crawler, I have Crawlers and I make stuff. I use it for towing and built a gooseneck. I will say I did replace the motor, rc4wd crawler motor to help with towing torque. I'm running the stock servo, gearbox & driveline but I did do custom frame extension to correct the hitch mount location. Custom made gooseneck hitch. I do wish it had different body mounts. Look my videos of it.

Was worth it just for that awesome outro on the frozen lake I'd say! Really enjoyed this one👍😀

[rishacircuit]

Good one about RCsparks. That dude has went off the deep end for sure lol

Folks don’t understand too well that this truck is made for pulling trailers on the pavement too well. That is what its made for. Its a hotshot truck. I guess you have to be a hotshot trucker to understand its purpose

[gabrielpichardo]

I need a cen racing f450 too. Im a hotshot trucker so it fits me well

[mnakash]

you found its purpose, drifting on ice this looks so cool! long body, if it can take. 3S it will slide as a drifter.

I got the kg1 silver one. It's a good tow rig but falls short on speed. However with my custom built trx-4 and gatekeeper on a customer trailer this thing just looks cool and I junked the radio system in it immediately. Added a 12 turn aarma motor and I'm happy with it.

[garrettkifer]

I've wanted one since they came out and have the same thoughts and feelings as you. It just looks cool in a cheesy way and will look even better putting a boat in the water, lol.

[bigtrev]

Thanks for sharing. Cool sound system, looking for one myself.

[davidives]

I always liked the look of the pickup, but I dislike how the body shakes over the flattest ground. Great video as ever. Happy New Year.

[SuperChunk]

I have one and I love it, FYI I bought it used/new for 200. H-Tech makes cool stuff for it too

[gregorholmes]

This better be a sponsored video n you got that pos for free

[DomVito]

I bought one brand new for 300 shipped...from rc planet.... i think thats more of a fair deal!

[PachezZ]

I have it, I just wanted it, now I would just order clear body and stretched knockoff trx chassis under it instead :D And tbh I probably will do this to have 2 :D
(replaced servo, replaced shock for longer one, new wheels, new tires, new electronics...)

[WaltB]

So you hate it, you like it. What is it. You kinda got on my nerves at 1st but i kept watching and turn into crazy and cool video. 😅😅

[louisianashiner]

What sound kit is that!? It sounds awesome!
