My MCD 4x4 Stadium Truck
Here is my MCD Stadium Truck by Largescalerc. It’s great. I’m running O'Neil's Reed Ported Zenoah 27.2cc Motor with Stuffed 2mm Crank & Jetpro pipe giving me about 6.5hp.
Check out some of my running,

Anyone else running one out there??
Enjoy.

RE: My MCD 4x4 Stadium Truck
yip, they are FG Stadium wheels,
The camera i have is Samsung Miniket VP-X110L, sports camcorder. I use it for my Snowboarding & mountaining biking, & now for the truck. it has an external camera lens. http://reviews.cnet.co.uk/camcorders...9195181,00.htm.
i dont think they make them anymore. its a great little camera.

Very nice truck, and it sure has alot of power. Your truck looks cool with the fg wheels, but I
think you are not getting enough traction with that setup.

GasBoatman, Yip the FG wheels do set it off really well,
what do you mean about the traction, i didnt think it was to bad, i was running on damp grass & gravel.
How would you improve the traction??

RE: My MCD 4x4 Stadium Truck
it's fast, but i was only running with mid gears on, i will be playing around with gears soon, so will post some more vid's with top gears on so you can see just how fast it is,
the only thing is that i'll loose acceleration with the taller gears on. but i'll need to see flat out speed our geart acceleration.

nzkiwi 1975 nice truck and nice video, hoewever If you want the truck to perform better on the race track an not be all over the place
Don’t use the FG ST Tires they dont have good grip they look nice but no grip. get your self some MCD buggy multistud tires or stepstud or
FG baja tires and if you want to save cash you can get the smartch buggy tires they will all make for greater traction on the race track.

RE: My MCD 4x4 Stadium Truck
2 deep - Track is up in Lincolnshire, Its a 1/8 scale nitro track that i can get on once in a blue moon to have a bush.
migurami23 - I'm just realy a busher at heart, not realy looking racing. the little lack of traction can be a bit fun to handle, Yip the FG ST Tires do look good, dont know how the other tires would look. will have a look into.
thanks for help.

Great nzkiwi1975! Large scale is still growing here in NZ, Brissy has a big Largescale following on & off road!
I have just got myself a MCD Baja 1000 from http://powerslideracing.com.au/ In Aussie, Mike is the MCD importer there so you will be covered for parts when you move to Aus!
Cheers Bryan

Hey borley1863
I didn't bother with lexan behind those chassis gaurds. The motor would breath better without lexan behind gaurds.

RE: My MCD 4x4 Stadium Truck
i haven't had any problems, check out vid on gravel,
http://video.google.com/videoplay?do...65161293&hl=en
the only thing that gets in is a bit of grass.
