MARDAVE 1:12 >> recommendable ???

[michi]

Hi, everybody. Who can tell me something about this little MARDAVE cars from UK. This 1/12 pans remember my on my first steps with RC's. There are a lot of used classics in ebay and it is not to expensive to get one , but if you need spare parts ... you know what i mean . That's why i started to search after comparabel cars from today. It seems to me , Mardave is the only company which is producing nearly what i'm searching for. A chassis , 4 wheels, a gear and a motor . Like at that time. Added this cars are really affordable . But what about the quality ? Is it funny to drive this cars ? How is the handling ? I can not see a diff on the available pics.

thanks for any information

Still a thriving race scene in the UK, spares are readily available from Mardave direct, very helpful people.

This was admittedly a steal at £25 on oople

You are I think correct about the lack of a diff on 1/12

If I was going to race RC cars I would race Mardave V12. They are simple fun and easy to modify. I have an old V10 in my long list of cars to be cleaned up, can't wait to run it!

Parts are cheap but shipping from these guys is a bot over the top:
