This is the CEN Racing GST 7.7 1/8 Scale Nitro Ready to Run Monster Truck. You want the biggest, baddest Monster Truck on the market? CEN Racing wanted to provide the biggest, baddest MT on the market and outdid themselves by developing the Genesis Super Truck 7.7. The GST 7.7 is the biggest truck you can buy, and is larger than any other truck in its class. When you park it next to the competition, the others don't look so tough anymore!

The heart of the GST 7.7 is its 5 horsepower NX7.7 engine. This is the the largest engine ever used in a RC Monster Truck, and features a revised recoil start assembly, a sharp looking black anodized heat sink cylinder head, and an updated crankshaft that allows for better airflow. What does this all mean for the GST 7.7? This means increased power and increased reliability! With the NX7.7 engine, the large displacement offers brutal torque to pull super high wheelies, climb the steepest hills, or just plain drag your buddy's weak 4.6cc powered monster truck around the backyard.

The GST 7.7 also features three fully sealed 6-gear differentials, with aluminum housings that are one of the strongest differential systems in the industry. The diffs can be filled with silicone oil for racing, but if pulling wheelies and drag racing are more your style, replace the center diff gears with the included center lock and start pulling wheelies till your nitro is gone! But the fun doesn't stop there, not only does the GST 7.7 feature brute torque, thanks to the 3 speed transmission, the NX 7.7 engine can propel the GST up to an astounding 40mph!!! And with the GST 7.7’s reverse module, you could go 40mph in reverse or forward! The gargantuan 7.5 inch low profile tires with chrome wheels dwarf everything else out there. Along with the wheels, the truck's body has been pre-painted in one of the best looking schemes to ever be included with a Ready to Rock truck.

NOTE: The vehicle shown may not be an accurate representation of the color you will receive. Colors are selected randomly. The CEN Racing GST 7.7 Nitro 1/8 Scale Monster Truck model CEG9509 is available in three different colors, red, green and blue. If you would like a specific color, please contact our customer service department prior to placing your order and we will do our best to honor your request.

In Depth Features:

  • CEN NX 7.7 Engine: The NX 7.7 engine is more powerful, more reliable and much more efficient. Features include a starting system that is made to withstand daily use and punishment. The NX 7.7 now comes with a re-designed carburetor that allows for easier tuning capabilities along with a much more fuel efficient delivery system that does not sacrifice power. The powerband on the NX 7.7 is smooth, yet provides more torque than any other nitro powered engine.
  • 3 Speed Forward / Reverse Transmission: The GST 7.7 comes with an automatic 3 speed transmission that is fully adjustable. This transmission allows the GST 7.7 to reach speeds of 40+ mph.
  • Aluminum Diff case with 6 gear differential: The GST 7.7 includes a super strong aluminum differential case that houses the ultra strong 6-gear differential. This is by far the strongest differential system ever developed in the industry.
  • 7.5 inch Chrome wheel: The GST 7.7 is equipped with 7.5" Chrome wheels with V-treaded high grip tires. These wheels are anodized in shinny chrome giving the GST 7.7 a unique look and stand out from the ordinary white wheels.
  • 23mm Wheel Hexes: CEN Racing uses 23mm wheel hex hubs on the GST 7.7. These new wheel hex's are 23% larger then the original design. With respect to the power of the NX 7.7 engine, the enlarged the wheel hex provides more durability.
  • 8mm CVS: Huge heavy duty CVS (constant velocity shafts) are included. These shafts allow for better handling through bumps and best of all are super heavy duty. Made of hardened steel.
  • "MTM" Metal brake system: Stopping the massive GST 7.7 is no match for the MTM 4 disc metal brake system. This system stops the powerful GST 7.7 on a dime. Features include vented brake discs along with fully adjustable front and rear brake controls.
  • 220cc Fuel Tank: Largest in 1/8 MT. The tank has a stone fuel pick up and O ring seal on the Cap. Less refueling and more Driving!
  • Durability you can see: The GST 7.7 use aerospace aluminum chassis components and CNC/Steel drivetrain parts throughout the truck. Heavy Duty shock towers, turnbuckle, handle bar, high impact bumper, list goes on. GST 7.7 is one of the most powerful, durable, and exciting trucks in the R/C industry.
  • 8 shocks with functional reservoirs: These shocks are tuned for the track with white coated "stiff" racing springs. The functional reservoirs provide added stability for any terrain that dares to be in the GST 7.7's path.
  • Enclosed Receiver box and battery box: The GST 7.7 has a sealed Radio compartment that eliminates substances like dirt, dust, water, and oil from coming in contact with your receiver and battery. Better protection = More Fun

CEN GST 7.7 1/8 Scale Nitro RTR Monster Truck w/2.4GHz Transmitter
Out of box this truck has some issue's. Was not shifting at all and brakes were sticking. I put a roto start on which made life much easier. When it's cold I have to crack glow plug to get it to turn over. Also stock servo's are weak for this big truck.

After a lot of work and tuning this truck is going strong. This is not a jumper or racer due to it's sixe and weight. But when it's tuned right I can hang with Savage 4.6 on drag and it doesn't tip as much as savage.

Overall it's a fun when after some upgrades and tuning. This truck not for beginers.

allan just so you know the engine siezed because you CANNOT put any cold water or substance on a boiling hot engine, you need to let it cool for a while and then do it.

Well, after all the headache I have suffered with this truck. I decided to call Cen Racing Technical Support, and they did offer to take the truck back so they could fix. The guys over there at Cen were very kind and understood my frustration. One bad apple (MY GST) can't spoil the bunch. I am down another $45 bucks for shipping, but I am going to get my beast back in perfect shape. With the little I drove this truck, I know it has great potential!! Thanks Cen Factory!! -//- EVEN MORE BAD NEWS! Now I have the Rototech installed which makes life easier because of the really bad pull starter that comes with the GST. Now it starts easily, after you prime the engine. Now I have an exhaust manifold leak because the spring that wraps around the engine is too weak. I have some kind of oil that drips through the back of the chassis. People say that is normal, but that sucks, Dude. I am also having issues with the vehicle driving straight. It suffers from torque steer, one of the tires usually lifts up during hard accelaration. They recommed to Toe In the back wheels, and add the center diff lock which comes as an extra inside the box. The center diff lock suppose to add more power to the wheels and give you wheelies. Guess What, very bad for the drivetrain. The lock only adds much stress to the truck and will brake it after a couple of wheelies. Last but not least. You have to make adjustments to the car for it to shift to second and third. Most people can't hear this transmission shift, but most people have not had any experience with 3rd gear shifting in. Bottom line, I spent money on this truck, and want to make it the best possible. This is not a good out of the box truck, and has too many adjustments to make it somewhat good. Wait for the Team Associated Monster GT 8.0. That company knows what they are doing. CEN, look at the forum on the Website. That will say it all. -//- Now after many attempts the GST started. The factory settings on the needles were very off. The low speed needle needed to be leaned. I now ran three tanks through this big piece of garbage while being idled for break in. I then went ahead and took the glow plug out and put some after run oil in it and gave a couple of tugs on the pull starter. BELIEVE IT OR NOT, THE ENGINE HAS NOW COMPLETELY SIEZED. Pullstarter does not move at all. Piston is completely stuck in the sleeve. While I had the vehicle idled, I did notice the potential the vehicle has. I will remain hopeful, but it has not been a good experience. CEN online forum has plenty of issues with this product. Not to mention all the water blisters on your hands because of the pullstarter and the high compression engine. Wear gloves and get the rototech starter after you get three tanks through it. I own Team Losi Muggy, Xray NT18MT, HPI Baja 5b, Hobao Hyper ST, Traxxas TMAXX, Jammin CRT .5, Tamiya Frog, Tamiya Hornet, 2 Kyosho MINI Z Racers, and OFCOURSE CEN GST 7.7. -//- 100 Pulls later on the pull starter and still it will not turn on. By far the worst starting system for any of my RC' trucks.
