MCD racing 5th generation

[Cupra 313]

I will try the jx you suggested because i was going to order some ball bearings for my tank from banggood either way. I m gonna run it on 6.0v though,too bored to mess with becs etc.

 

I just cut the rear windows,cut below the roof scoop and made holes on the rear wind shield.It doesnt look bad and you cant even see them apart from the windows.I will upload some photos tomorrow

I bough mine from Ali, at that time for 35$ each, now even cheaper if you are not in rush https://m.aliexpress.com/item/32716957112.html?spm=a2g0n.seo-amp-detail.productBottomBar.viewDetails&_gl=1*11pihzl*_ga*eHRPXzNwTnQyNnp2cWpMczdEOC00aGotWTdnN1hGeXk2UXI5VGRZM2xuTXVBRTVhV05LaDkyUXpYQnpSQUNkaA..

Hey, I'm looking at possibly getting a MCD W5 so I can take part in racing however the lack of community on FB around MCD and lack of YouTube videos doesn't exactly inspire confidence in shelling out so much money on a prouduct. Is there some sory of secret place where all the MCD owners conversate and share advice and ideas?

[Kukynas]

Not idea, I don’t have FB account so can’t comment but I would expect most of the MCD stuff would be on regional basis in racing clubs

if you have any questions regarding MCD you can of course ask here but I don’t race so won’t be able to help with racing specific questions

you may check your nearest large scale racing club and ask where people usually discuss everything around their cars

Couldn't find any racing set ups on that channel just a bunch of very expensive MCD's to go back and forth on grass.

Hi team

sorry to bring an old thread up but after buying a xr5 but don’t seem to be any shops in UK that sell them anybody know of any second hand ones for sale 

[Nitroholic]

no UK shops stocking MCD stuff these days. Market is small... Really you are stuck with the importers: https://www.kingcobra.co.uk/petrol-rc-cars

 

Haven;t owned or run one for a number of years, and back then....the only stockist was Rossendale Models, and they were basically, from what I gathered, the importers as well then. Great cars to drive...but utter money pits.
