  1. Bashing
ok so i got my merv on Sunday for my b day. i ran it 3 times for about 15 min each time on flat concrete (plus a few flips). i broke it out again today to do a little bashin, through 14.4 on it and thrashed it for about 25 minutes and CLICK CLICK CLICK.. yep my rear dif is gone!!! so i opted to buy a new rear diff and pinion, along with some aluminum turnbuckles, and aluminium tie rods, oh and not to mention new steel center and individual driveshafts all around. not even a week old and she is getting some major hop ups. ill post some pics up as soon as i install them all.
 
i'm already putting in my 3rd ring and pinion. (diff gears) it's not too bad of a job. just make sure everything is clean. the standing backflips are a blast but your drivetrain will pay the toll of doing them. also it helps to NOT be on the throttle during landings. and I haven't even had a 3 cell lipo in mine yet...
 
yeah I'm gunna shim the rear diff properly and hope that this doesn't happen again
