Still got my Marauder and my Flying Point Jet probe. Saved up my pocket money, birthday money and Christmas money to get it. Those were the days!
I am 61 years old and remember back in the early 80's in south Texas, I used to go to my local hobby shop before the electric days! I remember the nitro engines costing $200.00 and up which was a heap of cash in those days. Now they are super cheap by comparison!
Those drive shafts lock in with a grub screw , fiddley fr sure but love them old school mardaves , simple and no complex electronics 👍
can i have 5 mins alone with this please..... pretty please...i love it
When using alligator clips on a battery on the bench like that it doesn't matter. It does matter in a car . You want to do the positive first. if you do the negative first and you're tightening up the positive second your wrench could touch the positive and something that is grounded such as the engine or the body of the car. That will create a short circuit. if you hook up the positive first then that won't happen.
Fantastic videos man!
I’ve literally been restored mine bar from the cv joint as I pretty much linked it with the differential same on the other side but you will lose your suspension I’m doing it to mine as I’ve got plans with mine but you can put a universal joint couplings on it so no plastic cv joint just measure the width of your axle n your good to go there only 10 pounds can send a link if you want it bud more then happy to help keep up the hobby
Tires are wrong, originals were foam, yellow plastic rims. My steering servo was in the box lid not through the box with a rod. Blue engine top i don't recognise. I remember it was well easy to start backward the shop never told me to reverse the starter motor cables
Nice old buggy you have there , I have just bought a few none runners 2 kyosho tracker I think , one has a stuck engine , I also got an Hpi savage nitro but I don't know what model it is and an unidentified buggy , looks to be in very nice condition the engine was stuck but I freed it and got it running , lots off compression and sounds great , I will be keeping the savage if it turns out to be a good runner just need to find out what model it is , happy days lots to keep me away from the TV and it keeps me happy just bringing them back to life , keep smiling my friend I enjoy your videos and you cheer me up every time I watch you , stay safe mate ...
Enjoy them dude 🤘🏻
@@HaggardRC thanks mate I definitely will , working on them and bringing a car back to life when it's been in a garage or loft for 20 + years is so satisfying I love it , I can't get out to run cars as much as others with being disabled with spinal injuries my mobility is not to good but when I do boy I love it , i am going to see if I can send you some pictures of the savage I bought and I wondered if you could take a look and hopefully you could tell me what model it is , then I can order the parts I need to get it up and running , have you figured out how to sort the rear axles on the buggy in the video mate 🇬🇧
Happy 100th video
Is it? Blimey thanks!
Love the look of that car 😎😎😎
Mardave pos Marauder. Rubber uj’s for the rear axles. You can still get everything you need for these pos’s 😝
ha new it! sounds really nice to mate
amazing dude. thats great that it runs
I hand start mine 😂 by the way the in the early years of nitro cars including the marauder they used plane engines
The clutch has 3mm cork inside it, before you burn out the shoes replace the cork or if you ruin the clutch the cars h the bin..
And like the stickers 😂
Which other channels does this guy do ??
Nice !! I am going straight on to Ebay now to see if I can find one. There is a manual on the internet I downloaded it the other day it has got all very detailed exploded diagrams of how it all fits together.
There is one on Shpock but I think it's in bad shape.
i think it will run 4.00 mins in!!!! good luck dude
nice
Engine runs well
Like u said you can't just stop live for something new
The thing on the tank is a misile
Lol. 0-0
Haha
Hi man keep up the good work. :D the person in the house next to me just gave me a gv great vigor and a tyamia tg10 love them both you can’t beat the smell and sound of nitro :)
irvine 20 abc, awesome engine's gave os a run for there money!! prob why they bought them over then stopped making them bye bye irvine!! got a few in the loft although they are all plane engines
Nothing wrong with plane engines lol.
haggard rc they make four stroke nitro engines for planes and there really good
Hello Hazard! At first i wish you a happy x mass! I got a Hpi Rusty by by who didn't run much. I always had electro RC. Nitro is new, is there a way to contact you. Don't understand all.. i'm belgiul/flemish
Do you try yard sales ? for possible new rc gold , I’ve heard of folks scoring some good stuff from garage sales.
Live on last and you will fry your spanner if grounded also you was blowing fuel back to the tank block air supply to carb
to pull fuel through
Say that again dude it didn't make sense, are you saying you didn't like my way of priming it?
Hey man. Enjoyed this video.
Total noob here. I've recently found my marauder which I bought as a kid at a boots sale around 30 years ago. Never got it running back then.
Would love to get it going with my kids now.
I'm wondering what fuel you used in yours? Just reading around the Internet, sounded like it was designed to run on non nitro fuel. Something called FAI? But doesn't look like that is readily available.
Hi, well FAI fuel is 80% methanol and 20% castor. Notice there in no provision for nitro but also no allowance for synthetic oil. The term "FAI fuel" is often used to simply mean no nitro fuel and while that is correct, FAI fuel really is 80% Methanol - 20% Castor... no exceptions. This is per the FAI sporting code. It must be 20% oil and all 1st pressing castor.
I don’t know where you can buy it, I used 25% and 16% nitro in mine. It’ll be fine with modern fuels :)
@@HaggardRC thanks very much for the reply. That's great, just wanted to be sure I wasn't going to screw it up by using a standard nitro fuel. Thanks very much again.
I hope you enjoy it :)
copper washer for glow plug!!!
It was still on the heat sink :)
i feel like the 12 volt motor turns it way too fast
rusty can you do some videos on driving your rc cars
Yeah I can :D
@@HaggardRC Thx :D
think u should chuck away that fuel filter. more of a pain if anything!!!
How do you know if a glow plug is bad
It won't glow when you put it in the glow starter :)
I think it’s gunna run but not very good
Haha it ran mint ay :D
Sounds like 2 stroke gas engine
Sound great don’t they
Don't u maybe have one to give away I really want one
I could be wrong but I think that this is the part you may need!! www.mardave.co.uk/component/virtuemart/all-parts/372-detail?Itemid=0
Yep it is :D
hoi
Live connected first. Every time. It's absolutely vital. 🙂
(on full size cars at least...to prevent accidental shorts)
Likewise, you should always remove the earth first. 👍🏻
Drop of lighter fuel normality kicks them over.
what the fuck has happened to my mardave!!!!!!!! she was in perfect condition in 2004 when i got divorced
