sorry but i think a 540 brushed system is to big for a mardave you can hardly fit it in the pod and its very heavy

no some 540sized just pop in a treat and the heavier they are the better (Traction wise)

The dragon motor weight is 179g and a standard 540 motor is 160g i know coz i have just put them on my weighing scales.
So i would suggest screwing down the rear springs abit more

dont forget that I can get the brushless sytems for you as well with no postage costs, just to remind you that there is a shop onsite that can take orders and will deliver.

Eric, can you post up a list of ESC's and 13.T motors that you can get that cost around £70 and £40 respectively?
So the general consesus now is that it's and 13.T motor for under £40 and any ESC under £70 for the brushless class? I can't see how people won't be happy with this? I'll do a poll then Gazza...
I'm interested to see how yours runs on thursday gazza

I think it'd be beneficial if you could run it on Saturday so that others can see what it's like?

One of the choice's you have richard is any esc with any 13.5 brushless motor. I think you may have a problem there mate
if you have different drivers with different motors IE; orion, nosram, trinity/ LRP and many more' some are faster then others. more torque and speed. believe me i know. I raced my pan with a nosram 10.5 motor in and it was really slow' then i put a hacker 10.5 motor and you can see the difference in speed. would it be wise to have the same make brushless motor in the car. we have all done it for some time now with a G2 motor just have a different esc in.
