My New Big Baby "Pics Inside"

[Takedown]

Just ordered an MCD Monster Truck clone from ebay. I got it for $575 shipped to my door step. All the parts are compatible with the real MCD MT at half the cost. Ive heard mixed reports about it so I decided to give it a try for myself. It should be here somtime within the next 5-11 days. Ill let you guys know what happends.

Here are some pics of the clone...






Now here is a pic of the real MCD MT...





Let me know what you guys think. Im really excited to receive it.

its funny. when i clicked this thread i was expecting to see pics of an actual baby.

anyways the truck looks like it should be indestructable

wish i had the money to go 1/5 they have always interested me.

I too jumped ship to 1/5 gasser. I got the RedCat Rampage. It is mostly a MCD clone also. Suspension arms are different though.

Did you get the 4WD truck? Have you heard about running Coleman Camp fuel instead of gas? Runs just as good with no stink.

I did run my brushless LST2 today and once yesterday.

How is the quality of those Redcat's? I've seen a few buggies/truggies show up on our local craigslist for really low$$$.

Its the 2wd version. The 4wd version is $100 more but you can convert it to 4wd for less than $90, go figure... I plan on getting the 4wd upgrade kit right when we get our first good snowfall. Then 4wd will serve a good purpose for me.

Ill be sure to get a video with my friends XTM Grizzly 25cc 2wd MT. His name is Pedebeater here from the forums. Here are a few pics of his...

Yep, you'll just need to fabricate some mounts for the motor and electronics.

Not bad for a new truck. Their 1/5 scale stuff is new. Only JetPro is making pipes for them.

The stock GWS servos are junk. The dog bone pins come loose but not bad over all.

Please be sure to snap some shot of that one when it comes in.. what are the dimensions (?) and how much does that bad boy weigh (?)..

COOL NEW TOY!!

[Takedown]

Ill be sure to get many pics of the box it comes in and little corner shots of the truck. No Im just kidding, Ill get plenty of good pics and vids of it running. The dimensions of the truck are 32in "long" x 21in "wide" x 18in "tall" and weighs 29.7lbs.
