Carpmart Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 But it's €3k plus! How on earth can that kind of number be justified? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mond Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 Always dubious when the term alloy is used rather than what it consists of. Might as well say it's made of random metals melted down together. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johninderby Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 I don't think so although it may appeal to lottery winners. http://www.rossmod.co.uk/mcd-rr5-ultimate-2017-rolling-chassis.html John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.AJ. Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 Na, I won't be selling my 5ive anytime soon for this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saviown Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 I wouldn't mind all the alloy, looks good on my x5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oh How Original Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 (edited) Have to say, they make them look nice without a body on... Then they get Stevie Wonder to design the body! Why is MCDs main goal to make the overall trucks look as cheap and nasty as possible £800 for a Losi 5ive-B/T... £2,300 for this or the buggy, you do have to question anyone who would choose this.

supersavage Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 Shame it's not actually and has never been a short course truck. Just a buggy with a fugly body. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RCbutcher Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 I saw a tricked out Mcdonald rr5 I think and wow it looked impressive but the guy told me just about everything was optional and very expensive. This looks ace but yeah after looking at race ready go karts 270cc ect selling for afew hundred used. Or better yet driftworks forum sale page lol. that really puts rc prices into perspective. 3 grand is a magazine cover build known to the drift world pumping 500bhp with skyline written on the back.

bertberr Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 Not my cup of tea at all, but I doubt MCD will lose too much sleep over that fact... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saviown Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 I like it but wouldn't buy one, the only thing bad about it is that silly black thing in the middle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
