it almost looks like a mcd clone.

That it is, china clone

 

[todd217]

i know that i was wonder how low the quality was. or if it has potential after u upgrade some of the bad parts.

1st I've seen that one. Don't know of anyone owning one? Looks as if they ship for free to where I'm at? Looks like a lot of different ideas crammed into one MCD looking idea.

i found the mfg in china waiting to see what the cost of a sample is. at 800 shipped from aust the cost must be pretty low. the motor is not a cy or zen. but if u spent 200 on a new motor and another 2-3 hundred on mcd parts to make it reliable it would still be alot less than a mcd.

Did you ask what motor is in it? It looks like a hobby style motor.

I got my 4wd King Kong 30cc Truck with the chrome pipe delivered yesterday, fired it up today and i have to say, the power is unbelievable, i haven't owned any other 1/5 scale car to compare but this beast tears it up hard, 2 weeks for delivery got mine from www.oversizerc.com . Hope this helps, also if anyone knows where to get upgrades plese let me know,

 

[MONAROMAN]

you could try mike at powerslide, you'd be fitting genuine MCD parts though so they may or may not fit. Thats the trouble with clones - they don't sell spare parts. Let us know how you go with it.

It looks like Auction City have changed their name that they trade under to oversizerc as well...

Any chance you can get us some video of it running?

http://www.fs-racingart.com/index01.phpHere is the website for these clones. It has some videos on it.

surprisingly I have heard alot of good things about these buggies. However, supposedly the electonics are junk.

 

[todd217]

did u notice how the rear wheels or the arms flex in the turns under power http://www.fs-racingart.com/video.php?pid=676

 

[wannagofaster]

wow that is pretty bad. I am pretty sure it is the wheels flexing. (looks like they are made out of rubber!)

 

[PQRS]

ive been looking at these too... i wonder?i hope to hear some feedback on them soon.:cool2:

yes thats horrible .. way to much flexxing going on ..

 

[Bigger the Better]

Almost looks broken - Way too much flex!:no:

 

[PQRS]

thats pretty big wheels on there, i doubt thats ideal.:no:

 

[wannagofaster]

I am pretty sure it is the wheels flexing because if you look at the videos of the buggies they don't flex like that at all.

I notice the tires come off the rim a bit too. Must of taken it out of the box for a video and put it back in to sell. Can't imagine why someone that is selling the product would make this video and doesn't see that as a problem?
