Show me your Merv!

I want to see what you guys are rockin'!
Let's see those mini monsters.



This here is my little beast,

I think I've only run mine 3 or 4 times since I got it. I traded my e-revo 2.0 for it... Got tired of seeing that thing sit on the shelf and not get used. At least with this, it doesn't take up as much space on my shelf. lol!

It had the savox servo, RPM arms and axle carriers on it when I got it. I think those were the only upgrades.

I've since changed the gearing to work for 3S, got alloy axle carriers, "tubes" tie rods/pushrods, alloy wheel hexs, hot racing rear diff, hot racing shock bodies, stiffer springs, xt60 connector on the esc, motor cooler with a fan, summit axles, bearings in the rocker posts, bearings in the servo saver and found some different tires for it.

I did most of that stuff to it since the last time I ran it. Then I was running it on 2S. It's been sitting since late last year and most of the upgrade parts were from my wife for Christmas... and now it sits.

Nice.

Just finished putting in the aluminum shock bodies, new slipper assembly, motor plate, serviced front diff, installed HR helical diff in the rear. Took it out real quick to test it out last night, and it was a definite improvement. I run the dog piss out of mine, so it was all much needed.

I like the idea of the adjustable toe links, but the fact that they wear out about as fast as stock ones, I can't justify getting them. But they do look nice!

Still running a lot of stock parts, because I'm kind of after "essential upgrades only".

Waiting for a diff to strip, or a drive line to break, but nothing yet...

Running 2s because 3s are impossible to find I guess.

Also it became way more stable with the extended wheelbase rear a-arms, that unfortunately, RPM doesn't make. Also wanted to extend the wheelbase for larger tires.

Running 23/55, rather slow at 35mph, but the torque makes up for it when you hit the dirt.
It's not awesome on pavement anymore, just a dirt fish. Also I need to record another top speed with my latest upgrades, as it felt a bit faster last night in a quick test.

Let me borrow a 3s and let's race!

Here's my little Velociraptor.

Nice!

Found a way to shoehorn a 3s into my Merv..
I'm calling it safe, and oh man this thing absolutely rips on 3s

Still was never able to find any that fit, so this is what happens.
