| I was thinking of trying to set up a club at school running Mardave Mini stocks. I appreciate the simplicity of the cars and if something breaks it's only a couple of quid to buy the replacement part! As they are 12th bodies are nice and small to vacuum form in house too!
I used to have a Mardave Meteor 1/10 electric buggy which spent many years in the loft. I charged up the battery and gave the thing a good thrashing and supprisingly the battery still kept a proper charge too after being flat for many years! Lots of fun - I later sold the thing on Ebay for £100!
I used to race it around against my brothers Tamiya Grasshopper and always favoured the rigid aluminium plate chassis and readily replaceable tough moulded replaceable suspension uprights etc against the Tamiya's Brittle ABS complex moulded bathtub.
Happy Memories!
