Default RE: new mcd monster truck

I'm glad to see a DIFFERENT creature FINALLY!!! Everything since FG Bigfoot has just been a "COPY"!!!
here is an actual 4WD "shaft driven" w/differentials people have been asking for... Hey It's a Start !!!

I don't see the body to wheel proportions being that big of deal... it's better looking than their OLD MT!!!!!!! I personally feel this new one just looks like a Tmaxx with larger tires)
I DO AGREE though that It was cheezzy to take FG body instead of making a Chevy or Dodge though.
What is there now... 4-5 different LS MT and 1 Body Make... geesh

I'm thinking of getting one... personally I'm tired of seeing EVERY RC being FG... would like to wait and see WHAT "Bling" KC comes out with first though!!!...
From my personal experience with MCD... I'd like to see FIRST: "Alum. Diff housings" BEFORE A-arms...
lot easier to replace A-arms than tear down and rebuild Diffs!!!

Automan... My H1 is still sitting here...lol Have some parts in... still waiting on others for sometime...
But hope to have it up and running in the next few weeks... Will post pics once it's going again...
All my Diffs are run "open"... never messed with "locking" them... MCD 's are not "speed machines". The gearing is more set for torque... with I love being they are 4WD! Thank you for asking man!!!
