GIANT RC rally car! CEN Racing Ford Puma Review & Run
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
Stoked to try out my first ever RC rally car and this is a good one!! It's the latest release from CEN Racing (the ones who make the F250/450s!) and it's a 1:8 scale Ford Puma Rally1 ready-to-run car. With super powerful programmable brushless electronics, 4wd, a detailed body, and racing wheels, this thing absolutely RIPS on 2s - and I can't even imagine on 3s!! We had a ton of fun out at the local pump track. Definitely the best terrain for it is on-road and especially hard-pack dirt.
Thanks to @mtnmyke for stunt driving at the pump track!

@@RCGirl I purchased this Puma but now I have a $400 paperweight. Within 10 minutes on my first pack (after first reinstalling the pinion bolt that had backed out in the first 5 minutes) one of my rear axles just decided to snap off right at the hex (where the hole for the pin is). Do you happen to have a contact at Cen Racing? I have been unable to reach them and I would like to get this fixed ASAP. The spare parts axle kit on their website is out of stock so right now I am SOL. Thanks!
We need more scale rally cars in the market 👍
Wow Cen racing couldn’t ask for a better promo video. The shots from the pump track is just amazing. I’m stunned the way this thing moves, nice driving there as well. It could only be cooler if it had clear windows but still amazing.
That looks like a blast👍 Great video and great driving✌️
Very nice , impressive for 2s run . thank you for sharing 👍
Thanks great look and run of this amazing car. I’ve got to have one. I’ve always loved really cars and the WRC, and this thing looks the scale part and runs like it too. I’ve never been much into onroad cars because they aren’t versatile but this could work for me for some parking lot bashing on less then ideal surfaces
Nice Rally Car, great demo and informative. The pink looks nice to.
Awesome cool RC Girl enjoying and watching beautiful RC car 👍😃😎♥️
love this Ford rally car. nice review
Thanks for the background on hybrid rally!
Pretty cool rally car ,looks detailed and runs great 😃👍👍👍
Your links to even standard rally documentaries shows how thorough your look into a product is. Great work.
Very cool review of the new CEN rally car! And I gotta say... your video quality, editing and music have come a long way RC Girl! Keep up the awesome work!

Aw thanks! 🤙🏼
Looks awesome. The first mod I would make is headlights!
Need more rally content on the channel (a head-to-head comparison with the HPI WR8 would be a good place to start) ;)
Amazing 🤩 nice rally 🚗👍💪
This looks awesome. Great vid thanks
Your footage on the dirt look awesome 👍👍
freaking awesome!
That looks awesome
CEN hasn't really been on my radar until now. I'm a fan of rally racing and this thing looks awesome.
Nice work on the video!
cool vid!! big like!! 👍👍👍
This video gonna make me want one lol looks amazing
You should always do a 3S run. That’s what we like to see.
jeesh, Mr Ott Tänak and the Martin Järveoja! estonian dirver and co driver world champoins 2019!!!
🇩🇰🇩🇰great video Nice driving 🤩i love it keep up the good work with sharing you cool videos 🇩🇰🇩🇰
Sweet whip
man that thing Rips!!!
Looking awesome 👍 love to see more rc rally releases. I don't think CEN is available in my country. Subscribed
Wow... spettacolare....molto realistica .. ciao dall'Italia
That thing js going to be a big step in making CEN more widely known.

Ciao ti seguo sempre da Milan Italy ❤
Only one thing to add: Yes it is Friken Awesome!! Next stop 100k!!
Awesome review, i miss the airplanes
Tire ballooning with those narrow tires and 2s? Sure not to expect.😄
You need more subs your channel is awesome
Am into rc truck and cars since I was a kid
Other have had issues with the body catching on the wheels! Obviously it needed a ladies touch 😂😂 great video
Very cool! Ever since I learned about Rowley racing a few years ago, it has intrigued me. What’s not to like about driving all wheel drive cars off-road really fast?!
Proper donuts!!
Super cool, didn't expect a wrc car. Never watched much wrc but I don't even wanna know how much coins I fed to those sega rally arcade machines ;)

it is good i got it and the only issue is the tire branding fades after 2 to 3 uses and its going to so to be honest i wouldn't le that bother you, but im sure cen will sell replacement tyres because this thing rips and they wont last long. was on the park the other day and i had a crowed of people watching people with kids in push chairs and skateboarders just stopped to watch it. this thing its awesome.
Wonderfull rallye game
Awesome car and a really good review but the tires look like they’re for tarmac would be nice if you got a set for gravel as well and the possibility to raise the suspension either with longer shocks or different mounting points.
Schönes Rallycar ,hoffe er ist bald in auch in Deutschland erhältlich
Nice car. Have u tested the tamiya XV01? Which imo is the closest handling model to a wrc car . Really appreciated the research do e on the real wrc . It’s a great sport and I recommend watching the Kenya rally and the 80s group B . Great review. Looks fantastic on the dirt .
W O W 👍
Wow am going to get 1
🤘❤️🤘
I've seen three videos of this software far and all three had missing screws, one broke a front arm and another saw the motor shift do to loose screws. All three needed serious body trimming. Wait for the second version.

Like yr Rc rally car
Still have my Cen racing CT4 Nitro Subaru. need to get it running again :(
Okay, not RC related, but what mounts are you using for your MTB's. Rally car looks sick also!!
@RCGirl
11 ай бұрын
ha! these mounts are the best. super low profile amzn.to/3YID0bJ
I just got mine. First con : the body shell need to be trimmed a bit because wheels bumping on it even in a smooth concrete road. Otherwise : great choice for the money : 45 mph on 3S Lipo .
@RCGirl

Mine doesn't rub on the wheels but the ground clearance is tight so it does scrape a bit when you go over bigger bumps/rocks
The rc is more suited for you, you do trail, something I notice you can put a mech with easy to protect the electronics from gravel and much more

yeah it does need a mesh chassis protector!
I am now convinced that I do not like rally RCs. The shapes of them are like boxes with huge gaps between the sides of the bodies and the chassis. The end result is that every bit of dirt, pebble, rock, and boulder gets flicked inside for a dirty rocky mess. Are there any of these with dust covers? I know the MJX Hyper Go 14303 does, but I mean in the 1/10-1/5 scale group.
Uno. Very Cool...I will be looking into one for our Rallye races...anything goes. We race on hard packed baseball diamonds...
Can anyone suggest a good battery for this and also a charger for the battery as this is something I don’t know much about
@RCGirl

Depends on your budget but a good intro charger would be something like this: amzn.to/3Ep1OfN And for lipos - ovonic is an amazon brand that I like and they make some batteries with XT60 connectors. Here's a 3s option: amzn.to/3syY7Bi
It almost looks like a life size car.
Check out Ken Block (R.I.P) one of the best rally drivers ever, Ken Block picks peek with the hoonacorn epic ! You'll love it crazy!!!!!
Nice 1/8th scale car. Will probably cost pound \ dollar equivalent by the time it's available in the UK so 500 quid's worth!
do you drive any of the rc car you show or do you have a stunt driver all the time?
id like to see some people build an actual rc rally track. It would be kind of tough to do as you dont want it to be just a worse off road race but i think if done right it could be awesome.
@RCGirl

Yeah maybe even big enough where the driver has to run alongside the course with the car, kind of like the rock racing at Axialfest
I'm building a huge rallycross track out in Huntington Oregon that's gonna be open to public and have rentals and everything available

Two RC enthusiasts with youtube channels - I'm subscribed to - have respective videos on this latest model release. That's a nice! RC! I like the chassis build and its protective underside chassis belly. Dirt and dust will still make their way inside onto the parts as there are gaps between the shell covering and chassis edges. But the bottom is completely covered - protects the internal parts underneath from potential damage. Caused by friction and impacts on the ground surfaces.
How many time can I run with 3s more than One hour i like to walking with the Car
You didn't have the issue other reviewers had of the body rolling up in the rear tires. Did you notice any missing hardware?
@RCGirl

Yeah people keep asking that. I didn't have that issue. I only ran on 2s, not sure what others were running. Maybe it happens at higher speeds

@@RCGirl I think they were harder on the car than you were
I wish there was a nitro ver lol
Pretty cool car but from the vids I’ve seen so far the rear of the body gets caught and folds under the wheels so they’ve trimmed the body…. A little disappointed with that point!
Imagine FPV’ing this! I really want to FPV my TRX4 but I can’t find a easy step by step guid on how to do this. Or rather I want to set it up to my Fanatic Racing rig for my racing games on my PC and control it through my PC screen

I have a vid on the HD setup from CaddXFPV but I don't think the stabilization is good enough yet for driving really fast. I did see a newish company called CloudRC that sets up an FPV system from their PC, but I haven't personally tried it store.cloudrc.com/
I'm torn between this one and the HPI WR8 Flux Subaru rally car.
@chrish.6629

I own both models. The WR8 is very robustly built and has three differentials, the platform is old but proven. The CEN Puma has no centre differential, seems similarly robust and drives similarly. The body of the CEN Puma is more detailed and looks great, even better than the Subaru. The models are otherwise relatively similar, I'm pretty sure CEN also looked at the HPI when the model was being developed. The performance is almost the same with 2S and 3S when you compare the two models. It's best to buy both 😉

How much is a RC car?
Bitchin car. I like it. Thanks
who 's that man??? just joking😂😂😂
any giveaway for this car?
Love your channel, just a couple of friendly and well intended comments though. ' Rally racing' is just called 'Rally' and also its not on public roads generally unless tarmac rally. Mostly gravel rallies are on forestry roads. Look forward to more all the best.
1:8 scale and gaint in the same sentence 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Just Get the Traxxas rally VXL
I got made fun of many years ago in a hobby shop for calling them remote controlled cars
Faster car?? Thats the problem with sponsored vids this is not fast its a ok car with 20 reviews dropping at the same time your the only one that didnt mention the body getting sucked into the rear wheels try a Traxxas Sledge thats a fast car and I run saft packs in it no problems with it rupturing or breaking as you called it and it has seen way more than this cheap little car
@RCGirl

Coming from mostly crawlers, this is fast for me. And I didn't have the body get caught in the rear wheels
this car has a serious flaw . The body shell posts move about like jelly , so that the rear of the body shell gets entangled with the rear wheels . HOW STUPID IS THAT FOR A $500 RC car 😮

No center diff = FAIL. readers don't waste you money and go buy the HPI WR8.

niether are 1/8th.. scale plastic rubbish
Fender liners!
Clearly just 1/10 electronics with glass diffs... seriosly why is this being marketed as 1/8? Anyone who bought one would be frustrated to learn this can't actually race with any of the other larger 1/8 rally platforms.
@chrish.6629

Which other platforms do you mean? I own a HPI WR8 and it uses 1/10th scale electronics, too. But it is still very powerful and fast.
