I used to race the Mardave versions of these (well the V12 hotrods) 20 years ago. A trick we used to use to stop grip roll was to put some thick CA glue on the outside edge of the front tyres. It would reduce front end grip a bit, but if the car went to roll, the slippery and stiff side walls would not dig in a cause a roll. Other thing we used to do to reduce the stright line twitchyness was to put the front tyres on a tyre lathe and create a slight conical shape (smaller outside diameter, and larger on the inner edge). That would effectively provide camber to the front wheels (not adjustable on these) and make them a bit more predictable in a straight line, but still plenty of grip for corners). We would also stack a few washers under the front wishbone mount to induce some caster too. Used to love racing them - cheap but fun racing (although at the top end of competition back in the NiMH days, we used to do all sorts of games with our cells to try and eek out just that bit more power from them).

I'm 44 now and I used to race these when I was about 5 years old, we rented this old church in Blackpool it was so much fun. I still have mine to this day its old Beaties Bag !!!

I’m a huge fan of these budget little cars, and just racing them without a worry in the world. I think they are more fun than competitive cars because you can race around and do stupid things without costing thousands. We need more of these unique races Kev!!

It's "Kevin the GOAT Talbot" with another banger! That is why I love the new RTR Team Associated Apex Datsun carpet class races we have been having. 300 dollars plus good carpet track tires and a spare painted body and you are racing. The 3rd time having the class we had a turnout of 63 people registered to race. It was an epic weekend. So many first-timers went and bought them and had a blast. Plus the 1970s Datsun 620 body looks so cool. The only other cost was buying a spare body that you have to paint with 2 or more colors and add an orange number plate per the rules, or you can add a secondary color on the stock body with a sticker wrap and an orange number plate on the bed which we provided at the track. The next race is in mid-June. I can't wait.

224 mph in a RC blows my mind ❤ it would be cool to see a fpv camera on that run.

Hey buddy, I just found your video and it brought back many many great memories of when I would go racing every weekend. I have raced in just about every class ever starting in the early 80's. I have since become disabled and divorced, I had to sell off everything rc related. I just bought a few tickets to a few of your raffles. It would be nice to have something to play around with or put up for one of my grandchildren. Anyway, glad I found you, look forward to your next video.😁😁😁

My cousins got 4 of these he loves them so much. I had a go with one a few weeks ago, definitely a lot of fun for the money and easier to set up than a gt12 car.

Closest the US got for cheap equal and level playing field was the bolink legend (oval and dirt oval) in mid 90s. Great times. -U10

I love these types of classes so much! This is where the real fun is!

[allanritchie]

That looks like a lot of fun for not a lot of pennies or dollars.

I've had Mardave Mini's for 40 years. When I was last racing, I got my club to start racing Mardave Mini's and it lasted one season before Schumacher brought out their Mardave equivalent, and everybody moved over to that straight away! I was told it was all good as the Schumacher would be no better, but half way through the new season with the Schumacher's racing along side the Mardave's, it was clear I needed to spend more money and go Schumacher. BANG went the budget class and cheap racing fun! Why people can't just be happy with one cheap class that the Mardave offered is beyond me. We went from expensive 2WD to Mini's and back to expensive Schumacher's again! Nothing gained but cost!

Those little racers ... they're like the best chassis we had in the 70's and early 80's. :)

[noahsrcs]

I'm liking those little cars more and more! Them being so cheap and so simple makes them much more appealing!

[rumbey]

Looks ace. Did race as a teenager some 40 yrs ago with mardave cars. May just get back into it after seeing this video 👍

One of the best and biggest classes at my local dirt oval is the Stock 2WD Slash class. Super affordable and can be easily converted to a couple of other classes if you want to advance.

I run street stock with a Bandit I built mostly from parts and a motor that was given to me. I've even designed and printed my own body mount system. That said, I am still in it for a couple hundred by the time I got a body and some of the other parts. Thankfully, after all of the work it's actually very competitive.

Kevin, glad to see you posted. Great video as always!!!

the cars look so cool even after 1 race, the scratches and stuff

[CobwebMonster]

Raced these back in the late 80s here in Lancing when Mardave made them! Then early 90s in Bognor. Keith from Kamtec has brought them in to the modern times!!!
Great fun

I like something simple to go race without having to have years of experience and thousands of dollars (Pounds) thanks for showing the options. I built a 1/10 scale crawler and I quite counting at 2500 dollars it can get real pricey quick.
