Mardave marauder electric conversion

[Fred barlow]

Hi everyone I just thought I'd share my ongoing projects the v1 and V2 marauder conversion with minimal destruction of the stock chassis

 

Here's the v1 it's a hitch pitch of parts to check things will work in place of the tank and engine,

 

 

The gears are the only bit I've had to change because you can't get 24dp pinions so I had to switch over to 1mod

But there are going to be some mods done but I've put them in a video to save the post getting too long

 

Here's the V2 unlike the v1 I've stripped it back to the chassis and gone for a custom doubler plate

The motor and gearing are a failed upgrade

The V2 has the custom 12mm hex axles

 

I've uploaded the first run of the v1 conversion to my channel, and I did a tool box talk on the technical bits

That was one of the quieter meets of our local bash club but unfortunately it's getting cliquey now and that's spoiling it (the guys who run it have got to being only interested in conversing with the guys who bring the expensive toys and giving them priority to run, although they never have a car running for more than 10 minutes of the session and are all budget bashers that's if they actually decide to bring them)
