What did you do to your Merv today?

installed ******* 390 , drive one pack and fried my esc :wacko:
looking for sv2 , where can i get one online ??

Ebay all the way! I always recommend ebay unless you are gonna be ordering multiple items. Then you can usually find a discount code for the vendor you are buying from.

[QUOTE=CMD-J;5118708]Managed to break my TBR Trasher front bumber with a hight speed frontal impact on a non-moving target.. :eek:
But rest of the car is unaffected - TBR ftw. :)
They say lifetime warranty, hope to get a replacement.

are those HR knuckles? and what turnbuckles/tierods are those?

[QUOTE=Nkracl;5131054]are those HR knuckles? and what turnbuckles/tierods are those?[/QUOTE]If you take a close look, you can read HR on them ;) The tie rods are probably the GPM ones. If you want those, always get the steel ones and never the alu ones.

Peter, I think they make titanium ones also that people are saying work well.

[QUOTE=korn0307;5131150]Peter, I think they make titanium ones also that people are saying work well.[/QUOTE]I believe that, but the only problem I had, is the rod ends breaking. And those are the same on the titanium ones. I never managed to bend a steel one so far.

[QUOTE=Nkracl;5131054]are those HR knuckles? and what turnbuckles/tierods are those?[/QUOTE]

Yep, HR alu knuckles and GPM Steel Links.
Always have spare plastic ends around, they break from time to time.
If i had to buy them again, i would probably get the titanium version for weigth saving and corrosion resistance.
The steel ones are quite heavy and they rust if not taken care off.

Im waiting for UPS to drop off my new shell, paint, shock oil, CA glue, and lexan scissors.

I put my stampede 4x4's trenchers on it :eek:

I drove it in the rain for the first water test on my waterproofing the MMP and Team Orion Motor... so far so good. However, also first time driving without traction (wet) with the 100k diff fluid... it's basically, how can I say, HORRIBLE! Yeah, NO TURNING what-so-ever with the throttle pulled.. brutle.

Got bored so decided to drop it down and run speed runs

Today i painted my illuzions shell and i got a slipstream in the mail. Im waiting on a diff and my new radio so i can put my merv back together.

Broke my a-arm.... going to buy RPMs this weekend

Drifted it around the mall.. waxed floors rock for drifting.

Finally received my stock replacement servo (******* 390 on order) so my MERV was able to come of the shelf for the first time in weeks. During that time, I dyed the chasis, changed the rear springs to the purple summit's, and upgraded to the HPI Monster wheels and ProLine Speed hawg tires. I think I'm done for now...time to save for something bigger.

How are you liking that tacon motor?

Well since it was freeeeeee...I LOVE it :lol:

I've only got to run it a few mins on a single 2s

Free?! how do i get one for free! hahahaha JK

I just rebuilt my rear diff. Removed my HR rockers and installed the stock ones and im working on filling my shocks with 80wt oil. Just letting the fluid settle and the bubbles come to the top.

Drove at night in the woods in the dark. Really pleased with the summit bumpers and the gt power led kit. It was awesome! :thumbup:

got rpm arms and alum body posts the the mail today

[QUOTE=korn0307;5135111]Free?! how do i get one for free! hahahaha JK[/QUOTE]

My buddy took it off his Rusty Limo (stretched rustler lol) to put in a CC system so he had it laying around. Told him it would be cool to go BB, he said I got a motor for it, so I "stole" the motor plate & mount off ebay for 8 bucks...winning!

Haha its great how cheap it is to mount a BB to out trucks!!! :thumbup:

@devildog -> Now thats a good friend 4 real

motor looking good mister

new little wing today[IMG]http://i1270.photobucket.com/albums/jj610/erx4x4/utf-8BSU1HLTIwMTIwNDEzLTAwMzcwLmpwZw.jpg[/IMG]

Is that the ofna 1/12 wing? I love the bigger wings on our trucks!!!!

I just mounted my new RX. Now i just have to clean up my wires and solder on new bullet connectors.

full size revo

Ahhh now that i look at it it looks wider than the ofna wing! Yours are wider than the inside edge of your wheel and mine is just a tad but narrower.

You should buy the associated diff shims so when they blow again(probably sooner than later) you can shim them.

If you run only on stock batteries or 2s ignore me you will be fine..

I did shim my diff bit i didnt shim them tight enough.. My velineon 3500 decided that the gears on my diff were unnecessary and they werent needed so it decided to break them off.

got my Knuckles delivered a min ago and WHOOOOO they look awesome
