hello people
been reading through bits and peices and all it has done is made me want to join in ![]() i race mardaves, light touring cars (used to be pretty good too) and the rc bug has bitten again this winter, plus i only live in ashford so not a million miles away now, what works that is cheap, i assume i cant run my traxxas slash (still want to race that somewhere) i do have a couple of 4wd buggies, however one is an origanal release hotshot and the other is a schumacher procat (also have some TL-01 Buggies, but they dont really count) looks like you all run schumacher yellow pins and 27t stock/13.5 which is nice as i have loads of decent speedo's and good lipo's suppose the best thing to do is turn up and have a look one week, can try and get the pro cat running and take that (if it takes a lipo that is) keep it real Ian |

Hi Ian,
I don`t know if you remember me it`s Brett Hope, I raced a Brushless Mardave aginst you a few times at Maritime. I race at Faversham every Wednesday and there is a winter series starting very soon.. Its definately worth coming along to have a look ![]() It`s a very friendly club and a mixture of all abilities. Some people race old buggies, or you don`t have to spend a fortune on a second hand buggy. The good thing is once your set up it is very cheap to race. Tyres last months ![]() |

yeah baby dig the pro cat out what a machine yeah come down, you should be able to get both the saddle lipos and the stick lipos in the pro as the belt runs under the chassis and a both 27t and brushless gear should fit fine how i would love an old beast to open a can of wooparse with.
