There are a few that have all the regular Mardave kit, i.e cells, chargers for cells etc. and everything is working fine for them.
And there are those with modern Lipos and lipo chargers who are new to Mardaves. Some, including myself have gone out and got cells and are now narked x2 because we are going much slower than the fast bunch. My cells seem to be super crappy and gave up at the end of last year because I couldn't finish a race.
We, the club, figured that if we can find a motor to go with a 1s lipo that gives the same performance as 4cells and a silver can then we can all compete in our club championship.
Problem is, I don't have piles of motors I can test etc. I am hoping this is a problem that has been solved already and there is a convenient solution so everyone can compete without being in differing classes.
Running brushless isn't an option nor is 2s lipo.
Edit...
I said running brushless isnt an option.. maybe it is. it depends on the cost. Im going to direct my fellow club members to this thread and see what the reaction will be.. hopefully my club can settle on something sensible as Im sure folks just want to race, compete, and do it hassle free.

i totally agree with you that the 1s lipo ist enough for the brushed silver can,plus you need the boost thing, i think that one of the budget 19t motor is the way to go.
i have just sold my mardave but my girlfriend still races hers in the brushed class at are club,and she would of qualified 2nd overall with her 4cell,silver can car against the brushless cars, which are club allows up to 2s lipos.
the way i see it, if its a basic budget class it should relate to it, electrics wise to.
