How we all doing? I'm new here and to rc pretty much, hav just completed a marder build well as iv found out already it's never really complete is it lol!!! however thot I wld share my experience so far. I bought a second hand marder in a reasonably good condition and as soon as I got it fired up I was hooked,I thot that's it I'm building one of these bad boys from scratch, so, knowing sweet f**k all about any aspect of it i hit ebay. Did the whole lot on a brand new chassis with complete alloy front end and magura hydros. Most parts were brand new but a few second hand off eBay but in excellent as new condition. The rear is the same with full alloy kit and adjustable diff. cable discs at the moment. I have a jetpro pipe, vented clutch bell, steel gears and almost new zen 26cc (I run it in before the build) I have hpi axle/wheel convertors with brand new black hpi wheels and tyres are hostile mx's rear and dirt busters up front(looks sweet).all built with new hi tensile steel bolt kit, alloy shocks all round with balloon springs rear. Just waiting on carbon servo tray (alloy one is a bit shabby) and my new spectrum dx3s. Was going to go for dx3r but I thot save the cash and put it towards ddm pipe or samba and rear hydros. I also need a new shell (learning damage lol) but I thot of trying to make body panels more like the hpi baja kind of idea out of alloy sheet, did a few sketches and have come up with some pretty cool designs. I know this is a bit long winded for my first real post but I just wanted u guys to get an idea what I have etc, and also what you all think of my choices of parts and stuff. Please giv feedback good or bad and tips/experience and also what's next. I just have to adjust back brakes, set up the controller for the fronts brakes ( using 3rd channel for them) and get oot for a good shake down will try post up pics of build 2moro
Many thanks for taking the time to read this HUGE post lol
