Awesome video Andy! Mardave has a special place in my heart because the Apache was my first ever R/C car, and I’ve still got it! It’s a testament to how well Mardave built the car because I doubt a Tamiya Hornet would have survived the last 37 years as well as my Apache has!! And yes I still use it 😁👍

Thank you very much. That’s ace ! I fancy getting a Mardave Apache at some point, quietly on the look out for one ;) Tamiya hornets are pretty robust though more than sone other Tamiya’s. Love the fact you still use your Apache ;) cheers for watching

I love those Mardave cars, they're simple but effective. I used to have a Mardave Mini some years ago, never got to race it though....

Hi Andy, this is right up my street. Have a real heart for Mardave. My first ever RC was a mk1 nitro stockcar that I bought off a friend at school. This started my journey and into racing which have many happy memories of. I still have a couple of NItro stockcars that I just can’t part with and would like to do a video on them one day. Wes Raynor is a real legend he pioneered rc cars, met him a few times. Many thanks for sharing this Andy it brings all the memories back, best wishes

I was just watching an auction for one of the Mardave Cobras here in the states recently, it was a really nice kit and it went for a decent price, just more than I wanted to spend. It is a nice looking buggy! I like the little stock car and I am sure those things can really fly! I enjoy watching the on-road races but I have never driven on a on-road track, I think I would be awful at it! LOL! Have fun with it and I'm looking forward to seeing it all done up and ready to rip!

The Cobras are wicked buggy’s, simple but effective on track and underrated compared to its contemporaries at the time. Was the cobra for sale a white, orange, green one? It was a nice one. I’ll get some raw footage of the 1300 saloon race can have a nosey , good fun, should be ready to go pretty soon ;) cheers fella enjoy your weekend

@@andyrobinsonrc2480 It was that one! It was a sharp looking buggy and it sold for a little bit more than I was willing to go. It would be different is parts and stuff were available here but that is not something you find much at all here. I will be on the lookout for the 1300 cars running around!! Take care and have a great rest of you weekend too!

Hi Bren, the original Mardave cobra was an early ish 1990s buggy and over the years Mardave have done a few re-issues of it the one I have is a 2021 rerelease. It only differs from the original with a better ball diff, ballraced idler gear, and redesigned shock towers , mine also sports big bore shocks from the factory. Essentially though they are basically like the original buggy. Cheers for watching fella :)

what makes the buggy classic? the shell ?
@andyrobinsonrc2480

Hi, essentially this buggy is a re-release similar to what Tamiya do as a company, re-make older classic models. So the cobra came out in the early 1990s , the buggy kit I’m showing is a re-make if it and came out in 2021
