Vintage nitro RC car Mardave Marauder 

Thanks🤙🏻😀 yes for me its like yesterday i bought this car! I still love the smell and sound of it! I think i will start it again soon😁💥

+spektrum33 ha yes, me too. Never sell this one! the smell, the sound of our youth :) The hours spending starting!

Haha😀😀

thanks man, same memories as me!i loved it, and still love it. and indeed that sound is soo good. and it still works and starts great! if you have the right startmotor turning the right direction haha🙈 and not freezing my fingers off😜

Oh me too! I fly Helicopters at the mo but i last owned nitro cars 5 years ago. They were a Thunder Tiger EB4 S3, a HPI Trophy Truggy 4.6, a Hobao Hyper 8 Pro, Thunder Tiger Pheonix BX2, and a Protech Phaser 4RS! I got into Heli's for a challenge as a long time friend was into them for years and told me i'd never be able to fly them! haha needless to say i did learn to fly but spent £100's in crash repairs along the way! haha Keep up the great work man!

@@wesleydonnelly2141 allright haha same here, but spend more on crashes i am afraid🙈 a lot more! but thats part of the job flying helis. thats why i kept some nitro cars and planes, to have some fun without shaking hands all the time with my heli tricks haha

Oh cool man! and i can totally relate to you saying about "Shaking Hands" when flying Heli's!! haha My goodness i'm a nervous wreck most of the time!! haha definately gonna get myself some nitro cvars soon, as i miss them.

@@wesleydonnelly2141 haha ,at night i want to fly,... in the morning i start to get nervous,... fly 4 lipos,.. and happy to return home with everything in one piece🤗 and the bigger the heli, the bigger the shaking. with my 600 i start even shaking without flying haha

+Ryan Burman i did it with pleasure 😃

aaron71 oh man yes, it felt great. And that in freezing cold weather. This old mean machine always delivers🤩

Bless you young man! You got my very first proper RC car from the 80's! Hope it brings you as much joy as it did me...

i had it too 87 & a super champ back then Tamiya are the most popular rc..

Thanks, yes that sound is great. This is the original exaust. Hard to find, good i didnt destroy it when i was a kid😃 next video will be a classic nitro 3d plane.

RC TricksTipsFun yh man I like that marauder it's nice I've got a samba 4 f1 pipe that's on my yama buggy lol

that's a wild pipe :) love the sound and smell of nitro. Unfortunately the neighbours don't. Planes are nice in electro, but cars need to smell and make a lot of noise :)

RC TricksTipsFun hell yea that smell cnt beat it

i think you are right about that. The nitros nowadays run on the limit :)

Surely! But they are fun! the noise and everything. But I like electrics too.

Nitro

+robert parkes yes same here 😃 and the electric one, yes i remember. But i had the tamiya sand sorcher. Also very nice, but flipped over any corner i made. And batteries were not like the lipos nowadays😂 so back then i preferred nitro. Even though it took me longer to start than the actual driving haha

Well it doesnt haha. Must have been the cold that made me say weird things😝! The only thing is that it was sometimes hard to start and run, accelerate perfectly right away. During the session it needs a lot of adjustments, more then recent cars with more needles with low speed needles and high speed.

@@rctrickstipsfun6504 ah that's interesting, but I've always wondered why modern nitro rc cars have multiple carburetor needles when a lifesized 2 stroke engine has only one... must be what you've stated about your car.

@@dauntlesschicken9756 i wondered too toby. But i think it has got to do with power in the right rpmlevel. This old engine runs smooth. But even though its 3.5cc, its very slow and does not have to power that 3.5cc engines have nowadays! For instance my nitro heli engine is only very powerfull above a certain rpm. Because helis never go from 0 to a million😝 during flight. With cars its different. Low to high is all about acceleration. And i dont know how that is with modern 2 stroke dirtbikes, how the needles work,.... since i have a 4 stroke😁

@@rctrickstipsfun6504 I would still prefer your old 3.5cc car than the rc cars nowadays. It's low pitch rumble sounds so pleasant!

@@dauntlesschicken9756 very true indeed! this sound is great. But also the pipe helps. That pipe is very difficult to find, many people changed that pipe in the 80's, so did i, but i always kept the original one, and i love that sound! I had to change it when i was young, because the neigbours complained all day,.. that dark sound travels far! But the sound was just as loud haha

Neil great man😀 thats a good deal. Did it come with the original exaust? Because the sound is so nice💪 unfortunately the exaust is gone most of the time. It makes a dark lout sound. I think that was the reason people put other exausts on it. Just like me when i was young. Thats why there is a cut in the body as you can see to make room for a huge one. The neighbourhood hated the sound of that car back then. And still haha. But i put the old exaust back again fortunately

RC TricksTipsFun Yes it has the original twin barrel exhaust i also have two other nitro engines with that twin barrel exhaust one is on a veco 19 nitro engine the other is on a irvine 19 nitro engine & also i have one more of the twin exhausts that i won on eBay that is not mounted onto a engine if you have whatsapp send me a message through RU-vid & i will send you photos of all of my rc buggies & engines etc

RC TricksTipsFun mine was missing it's original back spoiler it has the original battery/receiver/servo box i have taken the receiver switch out of my nitro condor buggy & put it in the mardave as the receiver on/off switch had a 4x AA sealed battery pack that was not holding charge as i found out there was this three pin receiver plug coming from the on/off switch i couldn't figure out how was i meant too charge the battery pack ? i sent a message too the seller i bought it from on eBay he didn't even know he said he would have too ask the guy he bought it from the reason he was selling all his rc stuff was because he had become ill or something i figured it out after doing searches on eBay i had too buy a battery pack charger that also charges the transmitter batteries & also the batteries inside the car i know transmitters have a charging socket on some of them as i have one on another one of my transmitters.

better perhaps with facebook if you have. Whats your facebook account if you have one?

RC TricksTipsFun Neil large

Nah thats not fun😂 i want it like i felt it long time ago. Always scared losing the car. But no worries, all my other cars use spektrum receivers😃

Why ?
