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 :D. 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.
 
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.
 
It flipped on it's lid then started flipping. This thing really needs a wheelie bar!
 
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. :hehe:
 
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.

I finally installed a wheelie bar on this little beast, it's much easier to drive! If I can find enough room I think I can get it to top speed.
