I agree with liberty, losi 5b ftw unless you wanna spend close to 2k on a mcd
 
What those 2 said.
Also, if you plan on racing, head to the track you plan on racing at most of the time and see what everybody else is running. Might be a good idea to get the same thing. That way you will have a bunch of people with the same vehicle that you can speak to on the spot if you have something wrong with your rig.

thats some sound advice right their hang out with the blokes try the track with what you have ....even check their classifieds you never know what will come up(y)
 
Racing is much harder on equipment than bashing around. It is also less about top speed and more about presice control of your rig.
 
The mcd cars look the business! Iv really been looking around and spaees are not that easy to get. I know king cobra uk have spare but crazy shipping prices, for me at least. Largesclaer have some but lots of spares are out of stock. No tuned pipes for v5, emailing the sales about new stock have given me no replys. Rcfox.de have spare but you pay big bucks plus crazy shiping.
Just don't think it a viable rc rig. I woud seriously get if say things where available like say losi hpi ect. Its such a pitty:cautious:

Spares support is another reason I have avoided switching to an MCD chassis.
 
For 3600 dollars for a rolling chassis, you would think they would be kissing your a$$ to keep you happy. That price is ridiculous for anything rc that doesn't fly.
