His 9th b-day is one month from tomorrow; he's been jonesing for an E-Revo so me and my GF just went and grabbed it and gave it to him today. Not even wrapped or anything.
He's happy:

More fun memories to come! If you guys go camping, try driving them on some of the trails! My friend just did it this past weekend in his Stampede and broke an axle yoke. (He likes to wheelie a ton) Originally Posted by -FLEX-

Flex: do you have other RC's to drive with him? If not, you should get the E-revo brushless edition!

Here ya go:
For those that saw my other thread you can see the kids start to gather on the corner. They were still being well behaved and just watching at that point.
Neither of us really pushed it there either. Darn thing was a lot fast than our other trucks.
I didn't have my Pede out because I have a broken rear shock. Have the rebuild kit but have been too lazy...Stampede 4x4 VXL

Hey, that's merv was meant for your Son right? not meant for you to do wheelies or backflips
Your son controls it very well, and i suggest that He keeps it at that level.
Seriously, if you keep drive that little thing like the last couple mins of the vid, you will soon have a stripped differential in no time, and will need lot of time rebuilding it (maybe it's good thing since you can teach your son to rebuild it).
This merv is much more complex to take apart than your stampede 4x4.Last edited by hskb; 05-14-2012 at 04:32 PM.
