Is that gas as in pump gasoline?

[ZCrusherOriginal]

Yeah... 2 stroke oil + pump. Standard Weedwacker procedure.

[stampeder1]

Yeah way to go Duratrax, copy FG why don't you!

The whole thing is an alomst an exact freakin' copy of the FG Marder.
They couldn't even use a zenoah engine either "2 Stroke DTX 23cc Gas Enigne". How are you supposed to get parts for it unless it's a copy of the g230rc, or they changed the stickers.:rolleyes: Also, the body IMO makes it look like a Nikko:lol:

I read about that somewhere, forgot where, and can't find where. I am sure it would be cheaper than the FG Stampeder1 mentioned, as Duratrax Style. I don't have a problem with Duratrax, I own the Overdrive ST, great truck, not a copy of any truck at all.

Update!

Look at post one for tower link!

[stampeder1]

Wow, this makes the 4th replica of the Marder.

The Marder without electronics new is about $650.00, that leaves you with 350.00 for radio stuff(pretty good, eh?).


Price of electronics

Steering servo: 35.00

Tower ts-80

http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXLN94&P=7

Throttle servo: 40.00

Hitec 645

http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXUZ90&P=ML

Failsafe:

Futaba FS-1 Fail Safe Unit

http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXH328&P=7

RX battery 30.00

Radio system

Hitec Aggressor 3-Channel FM/No Servos 70.00

http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXHBB5**&P=7


And the total is.......$865.00 for the marder with better electronics then the firehammer! A total savings of 'cha-ching' $162.00.
