The jeep and the truck would probably have part support, in the form of Duratrax, or Carson, or XTM, or Smartech. I'm assuming that the parts are the same as all of the other Smartech vehicles though. Hobbythek also has alloy parts for these and some of the parts are interchangeable with FG. As for part support from those guys above that "manufacture" these, highly doubtful.

I have the 26cc clone of the bigfoot truck and it is a money hole. The steering servo stripped after 1 tank of gas. The shell broke apart on me the first day after one tumble. U will also strip out gears easy. Needs alloy motor mounts large and small and steel pinion and spur. I only paid 600 bucks to my door for it so I cant complain too much. Ive done other upgrades also but might as well buy a better vehicle outright.

I like the first one, It will have great part support, I looks like it uses all the same parts as the baja B5, I think its a great deal

A better idea than buying a knock off or buying the real deal would be to buy all the parts individually and pieces together an awesome rc made from all upgraded parts for one money.

Now who here will dare take on the challenge of putting together some complete parts lists.


And how come I've never seen a knock off of MCD trucks????????????
