Even before we joined the MCD family as a Main Distributor, we heard cries for the MCD Brand to offer turn-key cars for the Enthusiast who doesn't want to mess with rolling chassis, finding all the right parts to complete, gluing tyres and setting up builds etc.
These builds offer amazing value allowing you to get the famous MCD 5th Scale Quality combined with a proven Hobbywing ESC and Motor combo for less than the component parts to build it yourself!
