try ebay for spare part as i just got myesf a mardave v12.

as for clubs go to the MARDAVE website and click on the clubs tab.

Mardave have some downloadable instructions as well on the site.

wow brings back some memories that car lol. i used to race the hotrods back in 2001 with the mardave. short oval hotrods and the johnstone f2.

 

then i started the 1/10th scale touring cars soon after that as numbers died of death. the touring cars took over from the 1/10th buggys which i first started them in 1992.

 

i was sponsord with losi (helger) racing in london for 5 great years before having to give up the hobby when i moved into my first house and winning the scottish B.R.C.A in 2005.(pics below)

 

i soon gave up in march 2006 when i came 5th in the scottish indoor gp after having won that title 3 times in a row from 2002. new cars and new technology put a nail in the coffin as i couldnt afford to keep buying the latest gear after moving in.

 

speed controllers.cells.motors.new kits at 300 quid with optional hop-ups. soon added up to just shy off under a grand just to start of a new season.(probably could have run an f2 on what i was spending lol)

would love to go back the hobby one day. but now i believe its mostly mardaves with electronic speed controls instead of the mechanical one you have in your car which tbh are pretty rank. they also run brushless motors in them now.

 

heres a few of pics from the hayday i found on cd. the green car being the indoor car and the other pics are from another 2 cars for outdoor season. the green car is a losi xxxs and the other 2 were a losi jrxs and corally rdx which helger orderd to run that car even though it wasnt a losi. the pic of myself and the 2 others is at the scottish igp in 2002, the guy in the left of me is alan o brien (korizan)

 

ahh the memories. :rolleyes:

Here's a pic of my nearly finished banger for Leven Model Race Car Club in a week or so. Spent the time prepping it putting the arches in etc to make it stronger and a nice paint job to set it off nicely. will hopefully come back in a few bits lol.
