Ken Block conversion to a MERV

[Phins Fan]

Curious if anyone knows the difference between the two and whats needed to convert to a MERV?

Must be referring to the gymkhana you just acquired?

Just took the MGT out after I repaired the pull starter and man she rips!! can't get her to shift into 2nd to save my life...

 

[Phins Fan]

I found that I had to really lean her out to get it to catch. Upwards of 1.5 turns at times. Shes got tons of power. Have fun with her.

yeah I was referring to the gymkhana. Not that I'm not happy with it but if the conversion is an easy 1 than I may do it as I've always wanted a MERV.

What does MERV mean?

 

[Non Crimen]

Arms, wheels, body mounts, bumpers, body. You might have to do something with the shocks for longer travel. That's all I could gather

Shocks and rockers are the same. Everything else mentioned above is needed for the conversion.

Merv is slang for mini e-revo.

Ot- May have to pull and clean the tranny if I have to lean her too much, either way ill figure her out! can't believe she damn near pulls consistant wheelies with the factory needle settings. Might as well start a thead instead of doin it here lol

I'm pretty sure the arms are longer which will require longer push rods and toe links. I was looking at doing the same to my slash so let me know how it goes.

Not sure I'm gonna convert yet as I've been havin a blast drifting it out front of the house. Just that I've always been an offroad nut so when I'm playing around on the street I feel like I'm cheatin on my real addiction of dirt! Thanx for the replies guys!!

 

[SMaxxin]

Buy the parts and switch to what ever you feel like driving that day, thats what I want to do.

 

[HPI-Killer]

Pics of this beast in action man I never got to run it so I didnt get the thrill.

 

[SMaxxin]

I just finish some research on this so I can convert my Slash to Merv running gear, I won't have the body yet.

Revo A Arms F/R
Revo pushrods F/R
Revo tow links F/R
Revo body
Revo bumpers
Revo tires/wheels
Revo Drive Shaft Assembly

The body mounts are the same.

Hey I just had my cousin scoop me up a 1/16 slash today, I think the new suspension would look good with the SCT body too, I think once I bust something that's what I'd like to do as well...except for the revo body

 

[hamz9561]

I myself prefer the aftermarket bodies to the OEM. I've got a Beetle and an SVT Raptor for mine. Here's a picture of the Beetle on my mERV:

 

[Alexander_0_1]

I like it hamz9561 but I like the Jconcepts SCT lids just a bit more

 

[hamz9561]

The SVT Raptor is a nice lid, too. I just haven't taken any pics of it yet.

 

[HPIguy]

I really dig the Raptor body too, and the J concepts illusion
