Mcd vs Rovan f5...whats the difference? 

Thank you for your viewing...more videos to come

They are nice...but they do have there quirks like any other car

Thanks and much love...just trying to show people the difference between the two...and the similarities.

Thank you

Thanks....just trying to show the difference between the two

@@elvertmack5039 yup I think I’m gonna go for the f5 now. And convert it to a rally car. Not racing or anything so will be good. Gonna go lehner on 16s with flier

@@meharvansambhi4566 rovan has a rally

Just buy that one....I converted mine about a year ago when there was no rally....only mcd...it cost me about 1200 total to convert...now you'd be better off buying the mcd rally...cheaper..that body with cage and shipping is about 350 all together.

Do you want to sell any of those 5scale rollers

Yeah I have a few for sale

Dallas, Texas

Mcd tires from Cardinal Racing

Yes....mcd and rovan parts are interchangeable and vice versa

Used MCD suspension....way nicer with heavier spring rates

@elvertmack5039 ok so the shocks and the springs

@rattlecanonlexan836 yes...parts are interchangeable between the two as long as you don't like brand loyalty. Mcd parts are expensive....that's why I bought the rovan first to "tear up" before I bought the mcd. Then got the mcd and almost every part fit or were interchangeable. It's a rovan....but damn near whole drive train is mcd and it's just better. Mcd uses ball bearings...and not dogbones...way smother, less matiance, and faster for what I was doing.

@@elvertmack5039 I appreciate the info! 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

@@rattlecanonlexan836 yep

I run 1 1/5th scale power hd servos and trim the plastic around and drill holes to accommodate the 65mm long servos. You are right...the servo tray is to small...but Power Hd servos are enough for what I'm doing

@@elvertmack5039 Thank you for pointing me in the right direction man. I thought there was some adapter or something I was missing. Now I know I need to go try to make it work lol.

@BeautyBeastRC yep....that's why is you look closely at the servo tray....they have like precut lines to mount bigger servos.

Mcd wheels

Exactly my point...and show the good, bad, and the ugly.

Very true but for the ppl that can't afford the the bigger names rovan has came a long way from back wen they was doing the hpi

No problem...just trying to give people more insight

You would need alot of stuff to accomplish that...about 400 bucks including a body

It's called a mcd chassis wheelbase extender. But you will also need a new rear drive shaft. Half-shaft, and bearing cups to make it work as the mcd uses ball bearings and not dog bones. Good luck.

Thanks for replying so quickly, didn’t expect that. I guess I’ll be saving up for that. Mines pretty much an ultimate minus the aluminum diff covers. I’m a huge fan of your videos. Can’t wait to see your latest project!

@playactionjackson918 thank you...but when I did it...it was cheaper to go rovan....now..not so much. Better to just buy an mcd and be done with it.

Throttle curve is smooth on the fliers..but you have to set your start power to about 45% to eliminate most of the motor cogging...after that..your good to go

Rovan f5 is a beautiful car...I still have one as a matter of fact. I think a taylor 35 would be a great fit for it

@@elvertmack5039 I've got a zenoah 32cc and a 2 speed in mine and is a handful for me I'm still fairly new to 5th scales

@@spoolyboi9434 ohh ok....how is the 2 speed....always wanted one
