RE: New Marder shell.......
Thanks!
I wouldn't have thought I'd be running it in the dark............ but even in daylight it catches the light, and most importantly, the vinyl was free!!!! lol [>:]

its http://www.magic-raven.co.uk/
they seem cheap enough an d do the clear shell
think the ones with the window grills are more expensive but if its like mine then its ready for the bin pretty much
anyone used this company before ?

dubby
why ? aint the only diffrence the shell sticks out between the wheels to stop you hooking up with other cars when your racing ?
should be easy enough to extend the body posts to take it.

RE: New Marder shell.......
I could be wrong here........ isn't the Leopard a longer chassis?? Like an inch and a half longer??
Mr Voodoo....... the Positive camber was just for the photos! I started with a Tamiya Rough Rider years ago and like the look........ I won't be running it like that.
Magic Raven? Been discussed before on other forums, it's the same company as King Cobra the UK FG Importer, their site (MR) seems to have been down for a few motnhs now, but I hear King Cobra will do mail order.
I made the majority of the Sponsor Decals myself, quite easy but time consuming to get the sizes right etc.

Mate.......
By the weirdest of all coincidences, not only did I not copy your idea with the Carbon Fibre, but we posted photos of our Marders on different forums on the same day!!!!
That's one of the pics of mine with a different body on that I posted in this thread............
http://www.maxbashing.com/forum/inde...0d9bace59d8e46
I got my Samba from Model Active in the North East, I rang around and he was the only place that had everything I wanted at the same time and would post it all out together for me, I did get my Marder Race from Woodys though, think I told the tale about driving 350 miles to collect it?!
Funny old world eh?!

They're PMT tyres, come in 2 compounds: 20 for the front. 40 for the rears.
They where about £20 a pair, just bought them for mooching around on gravel and stuff. They're quite grippy.
You can get them from Tornado Model Racing on the internet or on ebay.
