Default Mardave Meteor LWB Prototype



This is my nearly complete Mardave Meteor project. This car is fitted with a Mardave prototype chassis, Kyosho gold shocks and a copy of Greg Halliday's rear shock mount as featured in Radio Race Car June 1990. Tyres are original Schumacher Mini Pins just as I used to race at Hereford Shire Hall back in the late 80's. It's taken me a long time to build this car, utilising as many parts from my original Meteor as I possibly could. The wheels front suspension, gearbox and rear suspension are all original from the car I used to race, the original chassis was destroyed as part of my final year school project in 1991. The prototype chassis was a very lucky find, there can't be many of these out there? This chassis is notable because it has mounting holes for both the Meteor and the Cobra gearboxes. I think I remember Scott Raynor using a prototype Cobra gearbox at some nationals in 1989/1990? Anyway I love Meteors, they were such a great, reliable and inexpensive car that you could modify to your hearts content. So here it is my ultimate Meteor.
