I had a lot of fun with my Mardave Meteor bitd. I purchased it from 'Mike's Models' in Kingstanding and raced it at Perry Common Buggy Club. Very early racing days for me, but it was quick and set me up for bigger things a few years later. We had a Shinwa rolling road (just posted it in the 'show us your vintage collection' thread), and the Meteor was the fastest car we ran on there.... From memory it had a Reedy 21double - Silver Dot in it geared on a 15 tooth pinion.
If you're going for the standard silver can 540 motor then stick with a 16 tooth pinion.
We eventually made our own LWB chassis for ours and added Option House shocks too. Went pretty well. I sold it on to a friend so I might have to contact him and see whether it is still tucked away in his parents loft....
