"Old" Newbie says Hello

[Igor]

Hello,

Just signed up here as I think I may need a bit of help in the future

I have a FG Marder with 23cc zenoah, no mods.

It's a few years old, I've had it from new, it's SO much fun.

It's been in the shed for a few years, cleaned it up, mixed fresh petrol/oil, changed plug, cleaned filter and re-oiled and cleaned the carb in my ultrasonic tank.

Fired up 2nd pull, didnt have change either H or L needle, just had to turn down the idle revs a tad.

Where is a good place to buy FG Marder spares online or local shop ?

Hi and welcome mate.

There is a place in Germany called hobbythek

Link http://www.rc-car-online.de/

Or you Got Rossendale Models in the uk and King Cobra which is basically the ebay side of rossendale models i believe but they have different stuff available.

There are others around but can't remeber them but in the petrol section there is a thread at the top with all the shop that sell largesacale parts.

Then of course there is always wanted section on here too

Welcome to the forum mate

+1 for the Hobbythek guys and gals, top site and great fast delivery service on spares etc.

Stick a list of your wants in the Wanted section, you may be surprised at what people have lying around

Thanks Stebro & Gr1zzle.

Good links and had a quick look round here.

I must get myself a throttle failsafe/kill switch !

These are the best type mate. No modding needed and they cheap too. as far as i know they work with most handset but you would need to check on that.

These are sold out but it will give you an idea of what you won't
