I would upgrade the shell to a beetle shell then if you roll it in the corners it will roll straight back onto its wheels again :w00t:

The obvious upgrade is front brakes, I would have bought a set of hydros for racing before some of the other stuff you bought then give it a run out against the MCD's to see how it compared and upgraded accordingly.

A race tuned engine will improve your chances once you have the set-up right and are used to getting it round the track in standard form.

Looks good tho mate :cool2:

Thanks for your answer ...
mcd's very stable on the road and weight distribution but Marder is lighter this disadvantage for offroad race.
I would like to use 4 Disc brake cable system on Marder ..because I have it on fg evo.
for engine, ZENOAH 26cc perhaps enough to race.
For the front diff I ll make locked diff like mcd LSD system...
I saw fg leopard 4wd documentation only LSD diff in the front ...
I do not know why only the front diff ..

The stock zen 26 is a reliable unit so should serve you well. I would def add brakes of some kind before you race but then run it as it is before playing with diffs, you may over complicate it and make it unreliable.

just keep in mind if you race in fine dust the dirt does get insode and start caking up on the pulleys causing the belt to get tighter and tighter. Once that happens you haver to take it all apart for a good cleaning!
