the marder has been off the road for a month now due to a worn clutch and gearplate,(also the fact that ive been very happy to use the hormann lol) anyway i fixed the problem and got it out for a blast today!
I sort of forgot how in your face and loud it was after using the hormann for the last 3 weeks, which is pretty reserved.
I have sold my fg monster and fg touring car, but i will definatly say that the marder is going no where in a hurry. it just shows that it doesn't matter
that it isnt the best lsor buggy out ther,or the best looking ,but they certainly do have their own charecters and know how to entertain.I can honestly say,upto now it has definatly been my favourite,and ive had quite a few this year.

a quickvid ,i sort of got the hang of it after filming for a minute but had a few crash n burns!

Nice vid ...... Tip for ya just before you get to the top of the jump get off the throttle and let the car roll the jump you'll find the car will fly horizontal with more control....... its all about timing

i agree! i have put it through so much stick,used it hard,even in standard plastic guise they are durable, ive just put on a small alloy engine mount on today,thats the only thing ive had any trouble with apart from the gear plate and clutch, which is just general wear and tare, id like my son to have it when hes abit older,he is 9 months at the moment lol, but he can use it when he is about ten,i think they will still be popular in the future as they are about 20 years old now,i know they have had slight revisions over the years but they are the origonal large scale buggy,even now 20 years down the line,they can still run with all the newer boys!
