Will standard Marder wheels be ok?
I'm thinking of upgrading to either cable or hydraulic brakes on my Marder (standard back brake is usless ,unless i've got it setup wrong [
] )but do i need alloy hubs and different wheels to do this, as i seem to remember reading somewhere that you do. Also ,if i do upgrade ,is there any preference to front or back first ,as i can only afford one set for now and i was thinking front because at least there is some kind of back brake even though its not much use.
Thanks for any advise.

RE: Will standard Marder wheels be ok?
Standard wheels are ok for the front. You will use longer axle shafts along with a second square drive to get the necessary clearence. On the rear you have to use the rims from a Leopard or Marder race.
Alloy hubs are recommended, but you can buy them when the plastic ones are down.
Upgrade the front first.
