Automan...
I'm just glad to see something DIFFERENT!!! "Spice of Life" It's BORING seeing the same old 2WD copies coming out of the FG MT!!! nothing original!
I HOPE the MCD MT takes off and that MCD has their act together considering the large growth in 1/6,1/5 RC's in the last year or two!!!
Everybodies been crying for "4WD"... "4WD"... "Shaft-Driven"... "Shaft-Driven"...
WELL Someone was listening... MCD took the time and $$ to redesign their OLD "UGLY" MT ...
I'm sure there will be flaws in it (like with any other RC)... BUT MAYBE if enough people show interest in it... some aftermarket companies will jump on it with "improvements" just like ALL the OTHER RC"S NEED!!!

I'm very happy with my H1 "Blueline" But think about it... FG RC's are "technically" a blackline also!!!
ALL PLASTIC... BUT with NO 4WD/DIFFS or SHAFTS!!!
Maybe if it takes off... MCD will offer a "Blueline" version... at least for now KC is willing to put time and $$ into some hop-ups for it!!!

just my own opinion buddy! 8)
I totally agree with you [sm=thumbup.gif] MCD what i heard and seen on videos are great machines that are very well built and have a very good balance with the engine a little rear to the center, and basically a very well designed car. Just that i don't like that body, and i didn't think the old monster truck was ugly, it was just a little of on another angle.. little to wide and short, but never mind about the body, this car is a really good car.. it IS a blackline + and that means that it have a few alloy upgrades that the manufacturer decided probably was needed for more extreme driving.

And I'm to pretty fed up with hearing only about fg cars, i have fg cars/trucks/buggys coming out of my ears [:@] we do need something else to have a better variety of cars, just that we need to have something else then fg.
The fg monster truck is all plastic in the stock version, and 2wd and fun to drive, but there will be stuff someone feels need's replacing in regards to how they drive, but the mcd proline monster truck have a few parts already upgraded and a real good 4wd shaft driven system that can stand some serious driving, so this car is a very good start and the shell is replaceable to something else if you want.

Keep in mind, a rally car from mcd is also fun, they can go some off road to, and they are also 4wd, and there are 3diffs in all the mcd cars, and i think at least one is adjustable.

I think if people are getting more into mcd there will be another very good company raising and be a very very strong competitor to fg etc.


So to all... there IS 4wd cars out with very good building quality that are for sure worth looking into, and as i said before, they have both rally cars, buggy's, and monster trucks and more..... and they are 1/5 [sm=thumbup.gif]
