I had a go at this afew times WARNING! IT IS VERY ADDICTIVE!!!! Something so simple should not be so much fun, id recomend it to anyone who is remotly interested in cars, smashing cars up, racing cars, RC cars, or just plain fun. Careful tho, its addictive! And don't drive a mardave into anyones ankles, it realy hurts! The P5 and P6 are the best looking ones (when i was doing it anyway), and its the only way of getting an RC model of the majority of the cars they do.
Ive got some pics of my old ones if anyones interested?

Those would be good to see bmcnut, have been looking into this for a while now but the racing venues seem pretty sparse.
Are the cars easy to maintain and build? I take it that its just the shell that gets damaged and not the chassis?

Mardave cars are designed built and run on the KISS basis.

Heres afew of the cars i raced. Theres others, and theres better, but these are all i can do for now  P6. I love the signwriting i did on this one.  Wolseley 6/110  MG magnette  Granada Coupe  2dr P6. I'm not even going to go into how much time i spent on this. Count the bolts and check the paint finnish out, not bad for a rattle can!  This was made out if two knackered shells, a Starlet front end and a viva van back end. Handled so well! Check the ACTUAL zip out joining the two ;D  This was the first shell i got with the kit, i didnt like it so i just took the pee and covered it in barry boy spoilers and stuff. Fun aint the word!  The ongoing project. Ive spent so much time getting the bodywork flatted off perfectly that i cant race it! Its still not finnished but when it is it will be a shelf queen. Unless i get bored...... |
