yeah it's for sure a parallel connector. It came in a parallel package, has a parallel label on it and the car didn't run any faster than a single battery when using it.

It does seem strange that...

i'm running the "speed pinion". It thermals after running 5 mins or less with both packs in parallel. I've never thermaled with a single pack running 100% all out for 15 to 20 mins until the...

So i used to have no trouble running single 2s lipos back to back and never get temps much over about 160-170 for the motor and maybe 150 for the esc. I never went into overheating thermal mode. I...

When someone asks about what esc to get that will better handle the stock merv motor and 2s or 3s lipos without frying so quickly why are the main suggestions either the sidewinder sv2 or mamba max...

What exactly is the difference between the sidewinder and MMP?

1. Does the sidewinder esc have the option of adjusting things like acceleration curves and braking through a computer program the same way you can with the mamba max pro as I've heard people...

I'm sure someone else can explain this better but I think to to out when you have the stock toe links you unscrew both the steel balls in the knuckles until you get the wheels/knuckles at the angle...

sorry for the stupid question but, What is taping your tires exactly?

Yeah when I first broke it out of the box I set it immediately to training mode because i wanted to get used to driving it before I used full speed. I put it to sport mode after about 2 minutes of...

UPDATE for those that might have the same problem I did. I tried to recalibrate the radio to the esc and it didn't change how it ran at all. So then I switched out my old esc for a new one and WOW...

yeah I think I will try and recalibrate the radio to the ESC and maybe look into how to mess around with the subtrims like you said. I do have the 2.4 ghz by the way. time to break out the...

Oh yeah I forgot to mention I tried the slipper clutch adjustmentsa couple weeks back and no drastic changes. Also I've changed from training to sport to racing a few times to see what difference it...

Hey everyone...a little background on my problem:
My friend and I both got new Merv vxl's for christmas. We have ran our cars together pretty much everytime we've used them 2 or 3 times per week. ...

I got a merv for christmas which is my first R/C car since I was probably 12 years old. (I'm 31 now). Anyway I'm pretty clueless when it comes to a lot of the terms I've been reading about the past...

Thanks Fast Guy, that sounds exactly like my problem! I'm in Canada as well (Edmonton) so the snow is pretty much unavoidable for a few more months anyway. I'll try that out.

I got my merv as a Christmas gift December 25. I ran it 4 times in a heated parking garage. The fifth time I ran it outside in the packed down snow on my street at a temp around -10 C. After about...
