Integy is rubbish!

Sorry to hear that, though.

Thanks. Just ordered (3) of those fans and some pinions to play with.

Cheers

Guys,
I looked throughour rather expansive parts bin (we are stationed in Japan so keep lots of spare bits due to shipping times) and I have a couple 23T, a 19T and will order up a few 25T pinions...

Google IS my friend...

This one?

Stock, so 28T.

50togo, where did you get it?

Thanks again.

Using stock gearing, wheels and tires on a sigle 2S LiPo for bashing on our Mervs and my sons and I can't go 10 minutes without the ECSs hitting 145F+. Motors never break 120F. Terrain is a mix of...

Yeah, thanks for that...

Thanks guys.

It's a 2.4Ghz.

Throttle trim is set fine.

ESC is the only thing I can think of...

My son has a Ruster VXL and it has recently started going full throttle without any input from the radio. It's a recent development over the past couple months. New batteries in the radio, fully...

Jimmie is spot on-the 2080 is a well known weak point. Between me, my sons and my buddy's son, we went through (12) of those POS servos on our Mervs.

I ordered a bunch of the ******* 390s and...

I have (4) of the 2200 MAH Traxxas batteries for our Mervs and they're great batteries. Not cheap, but Traxxas has a super warranty. I'd definitely buy more.

Indeed, and I have counseled my 9 yr old to that effect!

Peter,
Ding ding! Yes, you nailed it! If you ever come to Okinawa, the first round of sushi and Orion beer is on me. I totally overlooked the obvious, thanks.

My son's Rustler VXL will not move under power-it makes a whining/spinning sound and just sits there. When it is up on the stand, the wheels spin, but something isn't right...

I checked:
-Spur /...

Yup, servo is bad. I have been through 4 of them and my neighbor, 5! I love telling my sons their cars are down for weeks (again) while we wait for parts. Of course, they're back ordered from...

Last month my new Merv needed it after less than an hour on 2S. I shimmed it and within 20 minutes, it started clicking again. I don't do standing back flips, etc. :( I have 4 shims in their and...

I bought another BL Merv (that's 3 for me and my sons) and after 1 hour of running on 2S, the rear diff started clicking like crazy. Shimmed it twice already. Poor design of the rear bulkheads-it...

I use MaxAmps and Traxxas LiPos charged with my Hyperion 720-I didn't go cheap, but both companies have great support if I ever have any issues (I haven't yet).

Yep, it's backwards. It has to come apart again.

Trust me, I know...

Yeah, try being stationed in Okinawa and needing a $5 part-takes a week and a half!

No local dealers, the LHS has only Kyosho and Tamiya...

The ESC fan only runs when the ESC gets warm enough to require it.

Nice truck, enjoy!

Stormer may come in $10 cheaper, but it cost me $60 for shipping, so it really wasn't cheaper at all. I'm overseas, but FPO AP addresses are actually US shipping rates (I have a CA zip code).

stinger30,
Yes sir, those are the stockers. i just swapped mine out with the extra ones that came with the car-much better.

Cheers and have fun!

87GN-The majority of my jumps are probably 15' or less.

That is a sweet ramp, I could really break some parts with that thing!

87 GN - I used the oil that came with the car but am going to order some thicker stuff when I order the springs.

anr2442 - I am using big boat anchor 5000mAh NiMHs.

Great input guys, thanks a...
