Beautiful!
What springs are on the rear shocks?
I did notice you kept the plastic servo tray. With the upgrades to the servo areas/items are you finding less play with the plate bending on throttle and brake?
 
hi bigger the rear springs are king cobra racing ...part number KCR070 these are a must for this marder as its a little over weight with the roll cage weighing in at 6lbs......as for the radio plate i found there wasnt a need to change it for alloy or carbon fibre like i did with my other cars ....only because i made 2 alloy posts if you look close you can just see 1 of them there is no twist or movement in the radio tray and cost nothing i made the alloy sevo lifter as the standard plastic 1 wasnt quite up to the job.....i have the latest alloy servo saver on and found that it caught on the double steering servos sooooooooooooo i had to make spacers and lift it 3mm and 3mm on the top of the servo saver as well.....more to come
 
hi super im trying to work out how to work me new camera and will post more pics soon........as for the roll cage i made it myself from 10mm solid steel bar which i tig welded polished and then had it nickle plated .....i figure it cost my works around £600 in my time alone to finish it......don't tell the boss LOL
 
hi pipeous
i will post more pics soon and will take some of the front end ......the shock tower is a KPD item which was for the patriot that KP designs where doing here in the UK....KP is keith plessed of PB racing fame from the mid 80s....and i remember you from midmad..... EK4...im the guy with the pink fuel lines on the EK4...LOL
 
That is definately one of the most unique Marders I have ever seen. Haven't been to rctek in a long while. Oddified stuff is always nice.

I miss the midmad gang though I am still in touch with a couple guys through msn. I gave up on the ek4's
 
i still have my EK4 ......but what a swine to run LOL........there are lots of things i aint mentioned on spec of me marder but the pics speak for them selves
 
man if I had that mini mill slawhammer showed me, I could make something like that front tower setup. I love it. 4 bolts on the brace. sorry to flog the thread but am enjoying looking it over. might have to snag some of those ideas ;)

and to think I traded an fg touring car on midmad to Jerry for a box of ek4 goodies. I had 10 of those things. I took 2 to raceday, travelled around with them, usually broke both by the end of the day. there's a clip in the dvd from that race in the opening menu with my cuda laying a smoke trail down and flying over another monster truck about 15 feet over it lol. my pitman said slow down you are leading but the crowd loved that smoke show.. the oohs and ahhs I couldn't resist. until I snapped and locked the back end. I dragged that locked back end for another dozen laps or so
 
blimey pipeous if i had of joined on here maybe 6months back i had a spare KPD front end for sale ...it was like this one but i de-anodised it and broke it down and then sold the bits off.... as i didnt like it after it was to silvery ........lol..going back to the smaller scale my hands don't seem to get at the smaller bits as easy these days
