MCD - because I have that platform in my stable already and the base design of the chassis and layout are a proven winning combo. The Losi is nice but I am turned off by all the aftermarket upgrades folks are getting out of the box to make it perform competively...kinda lowers the value of the stock package.

FYI - I will get a Hurrax before my next MCD

I'm in the market and leaning towards the Losi, I definitely think parts availability will be better with the Losi for me (USA), and it already has large aftermarket support, with that said the MCD looks to be a worthy opponent and I look forward to hearing more about it but at this point it seems almost non-existent.

Interesting review from a MCD owner who owns both.

So basically the W5 is just a converted RRV4.

The MCD platform is pretty consistent across the models except for shocks, gearing, wheels and body mounts. It's been a winning combination for years...[8D]

I saw the Losi today, that thing is massive.

Losi really changed the game with this truck, it looks more like a 1/4 scale to me.
