I run the Mardave with a silver can and a (15 year old!) nosram patriot ESC and 4 cell packs. This set up keeps pace with the mini's, just need to tweak it some more and improve my driving
. Last time I ran the foam tyres with a little bit of additive at the rear, otherwise when it picks up crud there is no grip on the rear, but I'm sure there is a way round this -any advice from Mardave drivers viewing this thread?
If we do want a true stock class, I think the Mardave route would be very cost effective and easy to implement. A basic setup is £70 with ESC (m-troniks??) which may look expensive compared to the the mini given how basic the mardave is but there is a massive choice of bodyshells, circa £10 each compared to £30 for a mini shell and few spares are required and are cheap and you can buy individually. With regard to batteries, 2 x 4300mah 4-cell (HPI one's circa £16 each) would be adequate for 4 rounds of racing, cannot get much cheaper than that.
I will bring my Mini and Mardave along on friday for a play
