Thinking about getting a merv

[chewy84]

Was wondering what should I get beforehand like which lipos or chargers any tools stuff like that thanks

I have one and I have only ran mine on 2 stock 7.2 batteries in series and in parallel and it runs pretty good.

tools that come with it work fine
i have not tried any lipos yet waiting for them to be instock

good truck very durable

use the search and read what others are saying

These are the 3s packs I ran in mine, loved them. They are in stock in the US warehouse.

The MERV is one awesome little truck, and tough as nails, you'll love it.

I have three of those brand new in a box, won't fit in the battery compartment in my MERV

They were tight but they did fit on mine.

Mine won't even begin to fit. Hobbyking QC at it's finest.

Yes, it is one tough truck. I recently blew out the front diff after switching to a 2s lipo pack and snapped a rear toe link, but that was after a bad landing.

What's the difference between parallel and series
Nvm speed and run time

You should also know that you can't run any of the LiPo packs in series.

 

[chewy84]

How much can the motor and the esc handle on lipo and can you run them in paralllel

 

[chewy84]
