What do I need to get started?

My nephew came down on Friday to have a look. He's decided to go the mardave route. Could somebody give me a list of stuff he needs to get racing? I.e which kit to buy and what electrics etc. please.

Hi.
You can run any of the Mardave cars we just prefer the countersunk screws to protect the carpet, they pop ip on eBay every so often. I think most versions are currently being run.

Do you have anything to start with or are you starting from scratch?

If you are looking for brand new then the Mardave ce edition will be spot on if you can afford it throw in the diff (48dp). The hobywing xerun speed controller and a 21.5T motor and you will be good to go.

For the Lipo i would go for the 2S Shortie Lipo, its a hard case so it should be safer.. make sure you have a Lipo Sac too.. as for shell take your pick.. we do not have a set shell.. I like the Mazda 6, the Superstox drivers have had to run the Ascari because of the Chippenham rules.. but we at gloucester hope to be open for the new rules.. as yet to be signd off though..

?? are you Sponsored by Schumacher ?? could you get the SS cheeper??

A good choice and great balance between looks and performance would be the Kamtec Sierra Cosworth. But there are so many, you have a huge choice. Get something interesting!

What DAve means by 'get something interesting' is don't get a speed six as he hates them
