A general look on google will give you a good deal of info.
To race a mardave is back to basics,down to earth cheap fantastic fun racing. Parts are dirt cheap so not a big loss if you break a wishbone , last pair cost me less than £2

[c0sie]

Is the VRX worth the extra cash?

Im certainly not out to race oval, im looking at trying to race at a local circuit club in the winter with a cheap car, hence the V12 interest

If they dont care for what I run then ill just slap a diff in a V12 and have a giggle

Is there a huge difference between the std V12 and the Worlds edition??
Thanks

no realy a standed hot rod kit will be fine just turn the a arms upside down and a few washers under them for a bit of castor, ture your rear tyres down to around 51mm ish and your fronts to around 47mm ish and your off check the mardave site for a set up page aswell

The VRX is loaded with all the latest hop ups and is a fast little car.
I only ran the standard v12 but it was a great car. Theres a chap called knighthawk on here who is running a diff pm him for info on how it handles, I,ve not seen one yet.
To me personally the vxr is a bit expensive but worth the cash, but I feel it is better for all drivers to race the same spec car then you get a much better feeling if you win a heat just on skill rather than having a better car. Mardaves are about fun and should stay that way.

Cosie, the standard kit is fine mate, in my experiance the
"New Silver Thermal Polymer technology motor pod (for much better heat transfer)" is to brittle the black plastic is more forgiving

So much advice

Thanks all, its all helped

However I have been informed that the brushed G2 is shite and needs to go, but that kinda detracts from the idea of super cheap 'broke student' racing that I had in mind for me and Mrs c0sie.

Damn..cheap racing is not without its pitfalls!
