mardave vs superstocks

[Battle_axe]

simple whats faster round the track? i like to be a little different so was wandering if a dave can really keep up?

[jasond43]

most good set up daves are faster less to play around and change on a dave not as fiddly as the schumacher

The Schumacher has so many things to get wrong with set up. The mardave works straight out of the box.

you got to admit though, the supastox has brought more drivers to the class..

That's odd, because my supastox worked straight out of the box, and beat many mardave owners cars first time out. It caused a stirr, as did Bally's when he raced it for the first time at Sherburn, TQ'd and won the A, possibly the debut supastox run the day after the car went on sale . Lots of mardave owners switched right away, when they saw how well they run out of the box...
The mardave build quality leaves a lot to be desired, and they have been selling the same stuff for many years, stalling progress. The supastox will force them to change, for the better i hope. Of course a well setup mardave will be super competative with the right driver, as will an equivilent well setup supastox... badly setup cars from each of them will be bad!

90% of set up is tyres 10% driver lol my dave is now on rails 35 shore rear 42 shore front and supa stox 32 rear and 60 front must be loosing so much front end if having to run that hard?
