It’s a clone of the McD v1 baja mt and baja.
I looked for the MCD baja mt instruction manual but cannot find it, is the lower suspension arm different from the MCD baja mt compared to the FS Racing King kong because the FS Racing King kong is "Y' shaped but i believe the MCD baja mt has a different design lower suspension arm.

The lower suspension arms are a wacky design as it connects to the chassis and the wheel drive shaft goes through the bottom of the shock shaft end connector..It's wacky i tell you...i'm glad i got it.
 
I found in the box that it came with a used lower suspension arm the same one cracked in the same spot it's obviously a weak spot on the arm, this clone is really to be treated carefuly while driving it's not a high flying basher.
 
I'm getting this 100 dollar rusty King Kong look alike on the weekend and then i will have spare plastic parts and it has a spare chassis as well plus a pipe and body.
It must of been out in the rain for quite some time.

It's a King Kong for sure i am some how convinced , The body is typical FS racing very thin & piss weak not like King Kong at all.
It's the 2WD version and got plenty of rust at least the plastic spur gears turn over reasonably smooth i was expecting it to be seized.

I recently bought both these from the same seller for $300 another King Kong 4WD and it's fitted with a castle creations 2080 800kv & XL speedy and a HPI Octane without engine, i got no idea yet what i'm going to do with them.

calibrating the mamba XLX to a flysky is a nightmare i will probably sell it off and i will never consider electric ever again, It's Nitro and gas only now from here on.
