thinking of buying a mcd blackline mt
 

i saw that troy at www.largescalerc.com has the mcd blackline i guess it the cheaper version of the two .i allways like having 4x4 on my rc trucks i know thier are conversions for the fg mt ,but dont really care for them.plus i like the idea of have a truck built to my specs engine wise and such.plus the spare parts dont seem to be as costly as the fg .dont get me wrong i love my fg mt .its a great truck .i just like having 4x4 sorry i am country boy my real truck is a 4x4 gas hog .does anybody have any feedback on the mcd trucks any body have one are they durable .can they take a good beating not that i would beat the hell out of it i mosly run on soft dirts hardly do any jumping .just like playing around in the dirt.i will have to get rid of my fg mt and my smt mt in order to buy the mcd and have it built if it cost to much i will just buy me a baja:D

Once again, just like with the Onroad car......you can get that same truck from Germany to your door, with a engine, for less $$$ than here in the USA without a engine[:-]

Hi guys i just bought a MCD bug and i done a little research. some body told me that bob who ownes kingcobra has the worldwide distibution right so this would shed some light on why know mater were you go in the world the prices are all the same. There was one site in GERMANY that had only two or three MCDs for a discounted price because they are display models if you read the information about the cars. so if any body can give any new info on cheap MCDs please tell because my pocket hurts.:D

RE: thinking of buying a mcd blackline mt
 

Dont worry guys the 4x4 monopoly will be busted soon enough:D I can see the Asian companies making the copies already;) Then if you buy by the container full, you can get them for 1/3 of the present US asking price.

Paying $1500 for a rolling plastic chassis is rediculious!!

For that price it should include the motor, tunedpipe............ only thing needed to buy is the Radio system

I can buy a rolling Marder chassis without a motor for $200-$300

RE: thinking of buying a mcd blackline mt
 

hellya post a link to mcd from germany

RE: thinking of buying a mcd blackline mt
 

Radio control mad the site is called WWW.GPRACING.de i think.:eek:

RE: thinking of buying a mcd blackline mt
 

thanks for link,theres two versions of the mt black line & pro-line are these parts the only diference between the two,

pro-line,CVDs, center bones, 2 open diffs front and rear, center diff locked, optional open center diff available

1334 euro = £894,best price so far

RE: thinking of buying a mcd blackline mt
 

thats good price if it does inc engine??

RE: thinking of buying a mcd blackline mt
 

A 26cc engine is included.......... the 4x4 buggy http://www.mogatech.de/modellbau/pro...oducts_id=1554

Pro line version 1130 Euros ($1400) euros after Vat taken of.......black line will cost you less

When your spending your hard earned money, its a good thing to get the best deal possible.
$1500 for a plastic rolling chassis is not a good deal......Would you spend $10,000 on a car that came with no keys???

Well good news.......you can have the keys but that will cost ya extra[X(] Monoplies suck

RE: thinking of buying a mcd blackline mt
 

thanks hellya , right now i am only thinking about it.its either one of those trucks are a baja.

Bryan70546 I just bought a MCD and before it was delivered i thought that this could be a waste of money,[&o] but i made the most of the time waiting and searched for a good engine. Then i got a call to say that the car was at the shop, Paul at EFFECTIVE TUNNING.COM was telling me that this was a nice bit of kit on more then one occasion, and by this he means its really good car. It was only when i saw it with my eyes its one mean machine and forgot about money i spent and thought how much of a good investment i made. Nothing compares to it and thats why you are paying £££ for.;)

RE: thinking of buying a mcd blackline mt
 

still a tough :Dchoice to make

RE: thinking of buying a mcd blackline mt
 

If you look on the German side of the Kamitiro site they're selling a 4x4 Carson Comanche RTR for 1249 euro's... http://www.kamitiro.com/iv3/cms?SID=...nc=show&id=321

RE: thinking of buying a mcd blackline mt
 

cool that would not be bad , but no pics of the truck and i cant understand german.:D

RE: thinking of buying a mcd blackline mt
 

the truck looks the same as the smartech monster.

RE: thinking of buying a mcd blackline mt
 

smartech is carsons in europe

RE: thinking of buying a mcd blackline mt
 

heres the commanche....... what they are selling is that with a 4x4 kimitro kit installed;)

Dont forget to take off 16% for VAT ( German taxes) or 199 euros...... 1050 euros plus ship

RE: thinking of buying a mcd blackline mt
 

i emailed mogotech today about the mcd proline,it does come with zen engine + they will do shiping from germany to uk for 23euro,sent them another email just before about the tax to see whether i need to pay it or not - if there is not tax it will work out cheaper than buying the smartech 4x4

RE: thinking of buying a mcd blackline mt
 

I like seeing people get decent deals[sm=thumbup.gif].....better than paying $1500 for a 4x4 plastic rolling chassis

RE: thinking of buying a mcd blackline mt
 

Ya from the posts i have always seen you post you do your best too inform people about the european market ...
Very nice ! only if you reply'd to my past requests .. [&o]

RE: thinking of buying a mcd blackline mt
 

OK SO NOW YOU GUYS ARE SAYING I CAN GET THE MCD IN GERMANY FOR CHEAPER AND WITH A ENGINE.HOW MUCH ARE WE TALKING AND NOT EUROS AMERICAN GREEN BACKS PLEASE.

RE: thinking of buying a mcd blackline mt
 

Try www.xe.com for currency conversions... Hmmm, $1325... (1050 euro's)

RE: thinking of buying a mcd blackline mt
 

thanks uk will , i think i am going to sell my smt truck this week ,and hold on to my fg i might just convert it over to 4x4 instead of getting rid of a perfectly good truck.

RE: thinking of buying a mcd blackline mt
 

@ 2deep
@ all

kingcobra is not the world distributor [8D]
only the sole importer for UK
the different prices for the MCD`s are the result from
different vat and shipping costs of the Countries

the Blackline Modell is in the result more expensive than the Proline Modells
4 x 3-step adjustable Shockabsorbers = round about 200 € [sm=eek.gif]
Shockabsorber fitting parts 30 €
open diff each = 95 €
Rollcache 50 €
thats round about 400 €[sm=confused_smile.gif]
different between BL and Pro is round about 200€
so you dont save money when you buy a Blackline
because you will not have much fun with the Blackline friction shockabsorbers[:o]
