Just watched this back again, I had 2 of my Mini's out racing at the weekend. My original 1995 Mini Stock Car and my Mini 50 (car 11) I was racing it in with the front wheel drive tamiya Mini's. Great fun seeing them on the track again, even better I didn't finish last!

[@bigpythons1983]

I bought No.43 last week, I absolutely love it ❤

[@peterdemetriou2263]

You gotta love the classic mini, I’ve got the full size one ! 👍

[@jamiewatkiss201]

Paul did an amazing box art shell there for you. Lucky guy

[@skagerstrom]

Love the RCKicks logo on the white roof! A nice company car :D

[@ukultimaterc]

Have number 36, Paul Ruckledge currently has my body and is doing the box art design far better than I could do. Still unsure whether or not to build or leave in box, it wont be run I wouldn't imagine but may change my mind.

[@whome7004]

I like the windows, Good LOOKING MOD

[@paulgarwood192]

Came up a treat Gav ! 👍🤓🇦🇺

[@thisisdicey613]

Love mardave products that's what got me it to rc car racing my first ever rc car was a metor and then the Cobra and also then a mardave mini stock i had 2 mardave Cobras 1was modified by Eric Dickinson one of the judges of robot wars . we put hpi traxxas 5 spoke wheels and lighter chassis it was very quick Bk in 90s great video I'm gutted i didn't know till now that mardave were still going nice to see it's bin 50 years and still making the mini one of my all time favorite s and yes i think môre should be made ?think i still have pictures of my mini have to have a look in the photo album 🤔👍👍👍

[@marcusdoling7698]

That's great! Wonderful. Takes me back to the early 1980s when guys at my school had the IC powered stock cars with the metal chassis!!

[@VBshredder]

I like that wheel well smoothing out method!

[@bigpythons1983]

I’d love to run my one but I just don’t know lol

[@JeepsCafe]

I love Mini Coopers, looks like a simple fun build.

[@darthnagus5457]

Very nice indeed.

[@Rob_NABS]

I had one of the originals, now I fancy another.Damnit. Not fussed about not having the 50, The Assasin looks a bag of fun for ragging around.

[@MetalMania3DTV-TAS-AUS]

Very very cool my friend wicked now i gotta build one thankyou Rgds KC 🇦🇺🤝😎👍✌🍺🍻🏁🏆

[@stephenmanley4097]

Nice build and good paint job, think I might get one. 👍

[@danderso76]

Might have to get me one of their Minis, look so cool.

[@irritablearchitect]

Love the build footage, Gavin!

[@semperatis]

Love those early Mardaves,though that release is a big step-up from the original kits.

[@peterjohnson2245]

I'm just getting into RC, (I Did want to when the sandscorcher came out in 79 but the folks couldn't afford it) So My girl is the age I was so i bought a Mardave Mini assassin which I am grafting into her Barbie car. So hopefully this Bank Hol She will be able to drive Barbie around at 40mph (scale 240mph!)

[@garymurphy5133]

Well done building the kit Gav. The way kit buying is going i thought all 50 would be bought and left in the box unbuilt and hope it would eventually be worth a £million !

[@UKGtrotter2k]

Looking good Gav, check out Adam Savage's one day builds for Styrene model making as he gives out some great tips on how to cut it out especially from his days working at ILM " industrial light & magic" when he was doing models for Star Wars.

[@supocarta74]

Lol I've got the kamtec reliant robin you should get one if they still sell them....

[@OliversAviationvideo]

Rather than using a knife i brought a scribing tool used for plastic models and guilde that round the windows. Corners can be sanded.

[@jamesh950]

Nice little package. Adding light buckets, and outside side mirrors? A union jack flag on the roof would be my take but I don't have this kit.

[@bjarnehelsaa1626]

Lovely car i have One for 30 years ago 🤩but some one have take my mini 🤣so sad i love that car🏎🇩🇰

[@Meenie66]

I'm still waiting for an email saying they are getting more Cobra Mid Evo's up for sale... Was supposed to be on the 21st-ISH.. Been waiting for age now I really don't wanna miss out. These little mini's are so good, I wish I got one of them too!!

[@davidlavergnelacasse2356]

Do you think Somewhere someone have one left? I really like this model My father had a mini cooper s That he used to do slalom competitions I want to reproduce it rc

[@RCKickschannel]

Keep an eye on eBay Uk

[@Sponge1310]

Looks awesome! Is it 1/12th scale or 1/10th? On the Mardave website, there is no mention of scale at any of their cars... it looks 1/12th to me, but I could be wrong...

[@semperatis]

Mardaves are 1/12th in general,with a very few exceptions.(i.e. Cobra;Apache; F1;1/10th on-road pan car).

[@tomkirbygreen]

Nice to see a build again. Any news on Project Xray?

[@RCKickschannel]

Hi Tom, Unfortunately, it won't happen thanks to BREXIT. Import tax, shipping and handling fee's have made it not possible for RCKicks and EuroRC to collaborate anymore, unfortunately. It's not EuroRC's fault or anything it's just one of those things. I still want to get an XRAY build on the show but I'm not sure when it will be. keep you posted.

[@michaeldorich4485]

Very nice video. Too bad we can't get the Mardave cars in the U.S. without paying a lot for shipping.

[@RCKickschannel]

Everyone is suffering from the prices of shipping these days. It’s gone bonkers

[@whome7004]

I bet you there are more than 50! Or More will show up Now

[@RCKickschannel]

53 ish made. A few development, one promo and fifty number chassis units. The reason these are limited is due to stock availability, broken tooling. Mardave could have taken 200 orders for this little thing but it can’t supply them. The Mini 21 racer is due out to fill the gap as you can also get that in full carbon.

[@ptaylor5014]

Great to see different content ie from other manufacturers etc, but this one bores me a little lol, that chassis is so basic its the sort of thing i built 30 years ago at college ha ha
