The F450 is FORD's top model of the full-size pick-ups, which are particularly popular not only with Americans. The impressive size of the vehicle is particularly evident in the Super Duty version with twin tires on the rear axle. In combination with the extremely powerful engines, there are hardly any limits to what these monsters can do - at least as long as there is enough fuel in the tank.
Of course, a real pick-up fan is not satisfied with an "off-the-shelf" vehicle. This can be remedied with a proper LIFT kit and huge aluminum rims. Further modifications and tuning measures result in cars that are real works of art, which are presented at the many car shows at the weekends, sparkling in color and highly polished.
The model of the F450 Custom Truck from CEN Racing corresponds to a pick-up truck, as you can find it at car shows in car-mad America. In a raised version with shiny chrome tuning attachments, the truck is exactly what a pick-up fan wants.
The beautifully detailed body is officially licensed by FORD and is almost indistinguishable from the original. The model is available in the two original colors Galaxy Blue or Titanium Grey.
The scale chassis in the ladder frame layout consists of two steel spars, which are adjustable in length. The drive is located in the middle and distributes the power via cardan shafts to the two rigid axles, which are guided on the left and additionally held in check by a Panhard rod. Sway bars at the front and rear as well as 4 adjustable oil pressure dampers round off the chassis.
The rims are an exact replica of the American Force original rim, as are the Fury Off Road tires.
The versatile, adjustable battery compartment is arranged lengthways. The receiver is stored in the electronics box, protected from dust and splashes.
The well-known, splash-proof Hobbywing 40A controller controls the 550 HighTorque brush motor, which transfers its power via a slipper clutch to a fully ball-bearing transfer case with metal gears. The gearing in the gearbox can easily be converted from high to low range. The all-wheel drive is implemented on both axles using a cardan shaft.
With the proven Savox 12kg power servo, the model has more than enough steering power.
The fully assembled model includes a 3CH wheel type remote control set with 2.4GHz technology.
