Geez that names a blast from the past! Lee & Del (his dad) used to race at the local club that I first attended in Irchester (Northants) They both ran highly tricked-up Meteors.... gold annodised lwb chassis with matching black & gold lexan shells! However I didn't think Lee raced for Mardave at the release of the Cobra?? Chris Doughty did campaign a Cobra successfully in the RRC series if I remember correctly?
Until the addition of the Losi gearbox onto my Cobra, I pretty much ran mine bog-stock.... I even got the standard shocks to work quite well with schumacher coloured springs! I did compress the servo saver spring with a cable tie & put heat shrink over the ends of the wire ackerman link to tighten up the steering... but that was about it.
P.S; Have you tried out your latest steering mod yet Adrian? Pic looks sweet!
