Default thinking of buying a mcd blackline mt

i saw that troy at www.largescalerc.com has the mcd blackline i guess it the cheaper version of the two .i allways like having 4x4 on my rc trucks i know thier are conversions for the fg mt ,but dont really care for them.plus i like the idea of have a truck built to my specs engine wise and such.plus the spare parts dont seem to be as costly as the fg .dont get me wrong i love my fg mt .its a great truck .i just like having 4x4 sorry i am country boy my real truck is a 4x4 gas hog .does anybody have any feedback on the mcd trucks any body have one are they durable .can they take a good beating not that i would beat the hell out of it i mosly run on soft dirts hardly do any jumping .just like playing around in the dirt.i will have to get rid of my fg mt and my smt mt in order to buy the mcd and have it built if it cost to much i will just buy me a baja

Once again, just like with the Onroad car......you can get that same truck from Germany to your door, with a engine, for less $$$ than here in the USA without a engine[:-]

Hi guys i just bought a MCD bug and i done a little research. some body told me that bob who ownes kingcobra has the worldwide distibution right so this would shed some light on why know mater were you go in the world the prices are all the same. There was one site in GERMANY that had only two or three MCDs for a discounted price because they are display models if you read the information about the cars. so if any body can give any new info on cheap MCDs please tell because my pocket hurts.

Dont worry guys the 4x4 monopoly will be busted soon enough I can see the Asian companies making the copies already Then if you buy by the container full, you can get them for 1/3 of the present US asking price.

Paying $1500 for a rolling plastic chassis is rediculious!!

For that price it should include the motor, tunedpipe............ only thing needed to buy is the Radio system

I can buy a rolling Marder chassis without a motor for $200-$300

Here you can find it with a 26cc Zenoah:
http://www.mogatech.de/modellbau/pro...oducts_id=1556

The price is € 1449 including 16% German VAT, that should end up as € 1250 excluding VAT
And That is for the Pro Line Monster Truck.

The Black Line should be around €200 cheaper.

A 26cc engine is included.......... the 4x4 buggy http://www.mogatech.de/modellbau/pro...oducts_id=1554

Pro line version 1130 Euros ($1400) euros after Vat taken of.......black line will cost you less

When your spending your hard earned money, its a good thing to get the best deal possible.
$1500 for a plastic rolling chassis is not a good deal......Would you spend $10,000 on a car that came with no keys???

Well good news.......you can have the keys but that will cost ya extra[X(] Monoplies suck

Bryan70546 I just bought a MCD and before it was delivered i thought that this could be a waste of money,[&o] but i made the most of the time waiting and searched for a good engine. Then i got a call to say that the car was at the shop, Paul at EFFECTIVE TUNNING.COM was telling me that this was a nice bit of kit on more then one occasion, and by this he means its really good car. It was only when i saw it with my eyes its one mean machine and forgot about money i spent and thought how much of a good investment i made. Nothing compares to it and thats why you are paying £££ for.

heres the commanche....... what they are selling is that with a 4x4 kimitro kit installed

If you look on the German side of the Kamitiro site they're selling a 4x4 Carson Comanche RTR for 1249 euro's.
Dont forget to take off 16% for VAT ( German taxes) or 199 euros...... 1050 euros plus ship

@ 2deep
@ all

kingcobra is not the world distributor [8D]
only the sole importer for UK
the different prices for the MCD`s are the result from
different vat and shipping costs of the Countries

the Blackline Modell is in the result more expensive than the Proline Modells
4 x 3-step adjustable Shockabsorbers = round about 200 € [sm=eek.gif]
Shockabsorber fitting parts 30 €
open diff each = 95 €
Rollcache 50 €
thats round about 400 €[sm=confused_smile.gif]
different between BL and Pro is round about 200€
so you dont save money when you buy a Blackline
because you will not have much fun with the Blackline friction shockabsorbers[]

greets
Hunter
