So guys what do you think? Its very early days yet and there is a lot to do. What do you think of the board choices? I've tried to keep them minimal as having 50 different boards with only 4 members will look silly.
I've looked at alternative themes, I like the idea of users being able to choose there prefered theme although so far I havn't been able to change mine apart from the 2 default themes.

Looks very nice ! It will take a bit of time to get people aware of this board. I think that it will be very good. I talk with many people who want a place dedicated to Largescale vehicles. Along with that, many who want info on MCD vehicles. Having a dedicated forum for MCD is awesome. There will be professional level information, with opinions from the entire world. Don't get much better than that. Great Job !!

What do you think of this theme? Obviously we need a proper header (Mono can you help with that?) A bit different to the standard Vbulletin look that every forum seems to have these days.

monotheist · « **Reply #3 on:** February 23, 2008, 04:46:41 PM »

Yep already convinced the misses to create a couple of banners which she will do in the next week or so. So if any of you have some nice pictures of your rides( I mean MCD's not gf's or wives!) please PM me.

...Ok you can send me pics for yr gf's or wives but only if there cute

On a more serious note, do you think it be a good idea to have a dedicated racing section on clubs, results etc. for these vehicles or should we just include that type of info under the general RR section?

OzMCD · « **Reply #4 on:** February 24, 2008, 11:28:03 PM »

Ah just read this after pm'ing you. I have a cd of pics from MCD I will copy it and send it to ya and I can email the MCD logo. I can add whatever boards we want but I'm thinking maybe best to get everything else setup so we can go live and then add boards once traffic increases, but yes a racing section will deffo be required as these are race cars ;D

Lathly · « **Reply #5 on:** February 26, 2008, 09:21:31 AM »

Awesome initiative with this board. I know im gonna frequent here. Might i suggest a tunning part in the forum, as I understand that these 4x4 cars demand a bit differently ported engines and setup. Would be nice to see what fellow MCD-riders use and can recomend.

OzMCD · « **Reply #6 on:** February 26, 2008, 09:23:55 AM »

Welcome aboard, very early days for us so things are constanly changing as we fine tune the setup.
So you would like an 'Engines' section?

Lathly · « **Reply #7 on:** February 26, 2008, 09:41:08 AM »

Thanks ;D

I guess an Engines section would do just aswell, but i think tunning, or whatever the right name would be, is a bit more broadend about every aspect of the performance of the car, like what shock-oil/springs to use, gear-ratio, ride-height, wheels and ofcourse the difference in engines. As I understand theres allmost as many engine setups as there are MCD-drivers out there. But im just a noob here who got my first LS about a month ago, so its just a suggestion.

And im not wery good with technical terms in english, so please beare with me :-)

monotheist · « **Reply #8 on:** February 26, 2008, 02:36:45 PM »

I agree with Lathly. A tuning section would be useful to see how everyone is setting up there cars. For example I was experimenting with different shock positions on the track yesterday and found that using the first hole in the rear lower arm (increasing the travel) made a significant difference to the cars handling (rear end stays put now) Mind you the track was in extremely bad shape after Sundays racing.

But would we put this info in the yet to be created Racing header or as a dedicated header by itself. What do you all think?

ChickenLips · « **Reply #9 on:** February 26, 2008, 04:37:30 PM »

Great looking board OzMCD, glad to see we have an Aussie forum going

OzMCD · « **Reply #10 on:** February 26, 2008, 05:53:54 PM »

Thanks, its all about MCD's and all are welcome, definantely not an aussie only forum

MONAROMAN · « **Reply #11 on:** February 26, 2008, 08:01:09 PM »

great forum guys, I think general tuning/car setup area would be great, especially to learn some of the setups te european racers are running

dgav407 · « **Reply #12 on:** February 26, 2008, 09:38:13 PM »

Hello friends...

I will ask the UK importer if they can provide details of the set-up being used by the team drivers.

Although to be honest with the exception of the installing a few washers under the track rods and changing the rear hub mounting so that they lean back not forward, the cars are being in raced in near stock/standard form.

What is your policy on linking to other sites? For example the UK importer's website has some useful hints and tips...

OzMCD · « **Reply #13 on:** February 26, 2008, 10:20:37 PM »

No problem linking to MCD dealers. We not strict on links and stuff its all fairly relaxed around here, just no talk of any unauthorised reproductions of MCD's work

marderbeet · « **Reply #14 on:** February 27, 2008, 05:03:37 PM »

yes, im very excited to have a mcd forum and very cool to have mono show good detail of set up tips, its gona be a great site ;D

dman · « **Reply #15 on:** March 09, 2008, 02:54:07 AM »

This is just what I was looking for a place where MCD owners can gather, show off, and give and recieve advice

monotheist · « **Reply #16 on:** March 09, 2008, 10:21:49 AM »

Yep I think this place is going to rock for all us MCD owners

tassie-devil · « **Reply #17 on:** March 16, 2008, 08:04:28 PM »

Site looks good.

;D

doggy · « **Reply #18 on:** March 18, 2008, 07:49:05 PM »

Finally MCD forum. I hope that more and more MCD owners will come. Hope to see more MCD dealers. And the best thing would be that Sinan or someone from MCD company joins here so he can read what users want. Admins send him email

OzMCD · « **Reply #19 on:** March 19, 2008, 01:54:49 AM »

Yep, just spread the word everywhere you can. I'm not sure how to improve our google rating when people search for 'MCD'. I'm sure it comes up somewhere around 20,000 or so!

briggs · « **Reply #20 on:** March 19, 2008, 07:16:15 AM »

Site looks really good, great job on creating the forum. Tuning section would be really good. I have had my MCD for over a year now and initially had some engine set up problems. Lessons learned so hopefully the forum can be used to share these experiences.

monotheist · « **Reply #21 on:** March 19, 2008, 10:54:03 AM »

Hey briggs, check out the "MCD Tuning and Setup" section in the forum and please post up any suggestions or experiences you have had. I too have had my share of engine problems so be sure to share with us your problems and solutions that you have had.

Savage · « **Reply #22 on:** March 23, 2008, 09:05:43 AM »

I like the site, but couple things I think would make it better.
Make it compulsory to put in your location, makes it handy to know where someone is when talking to them!...

Also a introduction / about yourself thing. I was looking to see where or if you sell MCD Cars and parts and if you're in Australia OzMCD, but can't find any info!...

Cheers

Hi my names Doug and im an addict.....lol

Seriously though one of the best places I have found for parts with prices that are not over the top is PowerSlideRacing here in Aus. Although fairly limited in spares initially the list is growing by the day and I believe a recent shipment has landed with a lot of goodies including the new limited slip diff's (which I just ordered)

OzMCD · « **Reply #24 on:** March 23, 2008, 05:18:01 PM »

We will be looking to have MCD dealers advertising on here in the future, in the meantime I'll start a 'where to buy' thread. As for intros may just start with a 'intros' thread rather than a subforum for now.

Savage · « **Reply #25 on:** March 24, 2008, 09:44:27 AM »

Yeah cool!..
i was just very interested how you got to see the EvoII to III dealers site, thought you might sell MCD gear (Here's hoping) !

OzMCD · « **Reply #26 on:** March 24, 2008, 12:17:28 PM »

Yes, I own PowerSlide Racing in Oz!
