I have seen this buggy in a local shop, and I am positive it was much more than $600.00. Tell me where I can purchase for $600.00 and I will buy two! Email me with a usa distributor that has product for the said price of 585.00 and I'll send you a finders fee. Not joking! [email protected]

Wow! so it is true! I'll be buying two then! My local shop is trying to sell one for $1500.00!!!!!! the same one I can now get for 615. Guess who is getting my bussiness? Thanks so much for saving me 700.00+! my local hobby shop Colpar Hobbies should be ashamed of themselfs for screwing thier customers. I mean we all need to make a living, but over 150% markup? I will never buy anything from them ever again. period. How you like them apples, Colpar?

Please can anyone who has ordered from, or know of someone who has, from this company in the Netherlads (netshop) tell me if it is safe to deal with this country? I am extermely excited to get a mordar for 615.00 shipped to the USA. The cheapest one I have seen is 1,500.00!!!!!! So I am a little reluctant to believe it is really true, and dont want to loose $615.00 to find out. You can email me directly at: [email protected]

Hi Guys,

We are NOT scamming any cards, we are in the Model business since 1980. The Marder is so cheap because the FG factory is only 90 miles from here. And because you are not citicens of the European community, you don't have to pay 19% taxes.

If you have a hard time finding the Marder on our site> www.krikke.net > R.C.Modelcar-Racing> take the english site > go to "cars" > go to "cars fuel engine"> and then 1:6 cars ralley and off the road.

If you have any questions : [email protected]

Well, thats nice thats all i have to say. Really I mean, I think I will stay with my 1/8 Ofna Ultra Lx Pro buggy. It has a .25 in it, can do 50 and it only costed me $299+$7 shipping and handleing from tower hobbies. Also, my brakes are not a problem, they will stop me pretty damn fast at full speed.

Buggys are cool. I have a 1/8 mugen mbxr2 with a Paris/picco that I really enjoy. However the marder is the ultimate in my opinion it has disc brakes on all four wheels with a gas 2 cycle which will run 45 min per tank and no pretuning neccessary. It is really a crowd stopper as people really are awed at it.

One quick question. I don't have a credit card, nor a checking account, and wanted to know if it was possible to pay with a cash on delivery? Or possibly pay in advnace?

Hi DR Frunkenstein,

COD has become very expensive, but prepayment is no problem.
Contact me at [email protected] for further directions.

Ron isn't scamming anyone!
I just ordered a Marder buggy from him. We had a problem with the first one getting lost in the mail. Ron is such a good guy he sent a second one out right away.
Here is are a few pics of what you get, and the second picture is a Marder next to an RS4.
This car ROCKS! Its' absolutely insane! I had an RC10gt that i thought was fast but this car destroys it. My RC10gt was fast but it took forever to get up to speed, but this car rips off the line just like a full sized sand rail. Its AWESOME, and i love it!

This is what the inside looks like, but this marder has some tune parts on it.
