FS Racing... quality or not? Where to buy?

[roswell]

Hi everybody! Im new here but Ive been into r/c for about ten years on and off, mostly Nitros. Heard a lot of talk about the FS cars and mostly bad stuff...

But I know that people tend to praise there favorite brands without checking the competition. So Ive decided to go to the source, so to speak...

Ive been looking at this one: www.fs-racingart.com/detail.php?pid=814

Someone told me that´s a MCD clone?! Is it any good and how hard is it to find parts and stuff in Europe? And will MCD parts fit?

As I live in Sweden, I would prefer to buy it in Europe to avoid taxes, customs and so on...

Would be really thankful if you guys could help me out with this.

hi and welcome to the forum, the FS vehicles out of the box need quite some work before they are reliable. once the teething issues have been sorted they are awesome rc's
best for you would be to get it from conrad electrics, they have the best prices in europe, but make sure you get the 4wd upgrade. then do you homework, i have a rebuild thread you should check out..have you considered the new '1/4th' scale??
it is more expensive but well worth the extra $$
good luck with you choice,

welcom.
it really is better to take a 4wd.
if you have some money left over you must buy some allu parts.
a gear plate 1 of the first things I've changed.
a few shops:
www.fsracingusa.com/
www.maenner-spielzeug.de/
www.fs-racing.nl/
you cane take the parts of the reele carbon Fighter to.
