RCbutcher Posted March 12, 2013 Author Share Posted March 12, 2013 Defo mate I thought ide be kicking up the snow today after last night but by the time I got home it was all gone. Probably a good job tho since I havent pulled its pants down and checked its rear yet loctite still hasnt turned up. Ive brought it a radio set now tho carson reflex pro 2 lcd 40.00 it was the best thing around that price I think. 15 model memory . Lcd screen digital adjustments . Bec on the receiver . 3 way on off switch . I think it can take a 3s lipo too. Overall its a nice radio should arrive tomorrow. No sign of the servo yet god knows where its coming from. Just need a pipe and remote kill switch now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marder 78 Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 (edited) Im still looking for a pipe afew have appeared but one is mt the other a dom and ive fell for the jet pro after reading pipes only give better acceleration ill hold until that perfect one pops up same as the copy above but preferbly a jet pro but idk yet the marder is a stepping stone so i dont want to go silly altho not too conservative neither lol. So ive brought alloy engine mounts . Alloy rear shocks fronts held for me . Hubs and gear cover . Xo power 39kg servo and 4 wheels i plan to smoke slick and use on road. I didnt need too but paypal balance and sale ads plus new rc its enevitable. Im glad i got the alloy mounts and servo tho they were needed. Especially now i thought ide have a practice at tuning just to see the effects and it seems much easier than nitro for sure even i can hear the difference but i put it back how it was at the end. It might be smokey cos of the oil or my mix i will upload a pic of the oil used luckily its only been in the engine 10min if its not good. Castrol t2 rev & go black bottle. The motor world guy reccomended it and at Edited March 12, 2013 by marder 78 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nitroholic Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 You will need shorter bolts for the exhaust manifold. The ones for the bean-tin exhaust will be miles too long. Usually they have a long plain shank too, so you can't just cut them down. If memory serves, they are M5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nitroholic Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 yep...you can do that. I think the bolts I have are around 25-30mm long Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rctruckz Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 (edited) another lil tip dude is route your fuel line from the tank then run it UNDER your pullstart housing & then up to your carb, this helps prevent flooding when your marder is upside down as for exhaust bolts... use studs + 2x nuts a spring washers, much better setup than bolts as they wont work loose & you get a nice good seal just use studlock to fix the studs in place. heres a pic with mine using studs: heres a pic i googled of a close up, but i also put a spring washer inbetween the 2 nuts so they lock along with a little thread lock: Edited April 25, 2013 by rctruckz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also thatnks a ton for the fuel line tip i will defo do that ive had it running accross the roll bar i did roll it once it was upside down for 2nds but then wouldnt rev up but after awhile was fine again so it must of flooded. Do you have an ebay link for for the hardware used on your mani? another note does this look right for a hitec 755mg servo? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vAiBGHGQ7OY ive switched it out now for the xo and if that 755 is normal im going to ebay it both vids show servos under load. this is a great difference and only cost Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
