This is just my opinion but thats an ugly lid for such a cool looking rig. Needs something mean looking. Other than that, love this build bro.

Different tastes bro
. The only other option I would have considered is the Raptor truck body, I'm not a fan of the others including the stock body.

Reppin the RCNT logo...it's at least 10x faster now!
That decal placement looks awful familiar on that shell....

I finally got a radio to put in the merv! I installed a 31t pinion, charged up a 3s pack and took it for a spin. While attempting to get it to top speed I had a little too much throttle input at about 3/4 throttle and things went bad.....Bye Bye bug body!
The body was used for almost two packs

Yikes! What did you hit......that's some decent deceleration trauma.

The t-bones racing 4pcs is working for me, but its heavy....you shouldn't have a problem with that venlineon-3s though.

A wheelie bar should have been the first upgrade with that silly motor setup. And a 31t pinion? :whhooo: The only things with 31t pinions on them should have ailerons and elevators.

I strapped on the stock body plugged up a 3s pack and tried to get her to top speed. After several attempts the fastest I could get it without flipping was 51.8. I had it going faster but when it flipped the gps flew out and was turned off when I picked it up....The navigation button is now missing, it used to be were the hollow black hole is.
