I have bought on of these cars for my son, I fancy buying one for myself, as a change from racing 1:12 and wgt ( which i have never raced yet, but i have ), question is , is it really worth buying another kit and hop it up to the hilt or just race it out out of the box, also with or without a diff..and pointers pls, and sett up advise, cheers Paul

Hey Paul,

I ve raced a Daves for a while, in fact the same mardave has been going for about 5/6 years. my advice to you would be start off with a std kit out of the box then as things progress and hop it up as you....

Hope this Helps.

To be honest the car you got for your son is more than you'd need, the ally pod is not needed really, i just use a std motor heat sink that clips on. as for a diff i only use mine for certain track and its not a major need at all. the VRXCE come with all you would need and is competitive. i run one at my club with the following set up.
Pink medium or KSE soft rear tires.
Jap 46 of 48 front tires.
Rear medium springs.
Front hard springs.
G2 motor
MTronicks storm X ESC.
4 cell 4200mah.

I never come below 3rd at my club or most other places i race and i'm not that good of a driver so its a good kit
