I'm LOVIN' my MERV! Just gotta find some places to run it.
I'm Transit bound and tired or running it in my parking lot & the kids gravel soccer field!
Luckily I have 4 stock batterie & 2 LiPo, gives me a good day of running!

There is an empty lot next to my complex, me and a buddy are gunna make a track in it the best we can, but it's slated to be developed soon, but hey, it's better than nada right!? Anyone wanna come help & race!?

How many others out there have a MERV!? I see Bernie does. =)

There are a few out there but not enough. It's current price is not attractive for many people. You may have to wait a little while before you see local race happening...unless someone with a track... :o

Here's mine as she sits right now.

I recently purchased a DX3S
I've moved the servo to the opposite side to help the ESC cool, I've also cut out the roof scoop & the front window to help with over all cooling.
She now has a rear black spring (waiting on back order for the front)
She's also got the adjustable aluminum toe rods.

I tried putting some new shoes on her, but she just didn't like the huge clod hoppers I put on her.
Although it looked cool as hell!

I'm just waiting on stock to get in to buy the tan springs for the front

ONLY the Tires, NOT the Wheels.


I've also order these, I'll letcha all know how well they work in the dirt

Again, ONLY the Tires, NOT the Wheels.


I've modded my front body mount & replaced the easily ground down plastic with these:

Of course I only used the metal pegs. :D

That's really all for now...

I'm just waiting on this & that to come in.
The next upgrade will be to purchase some aluminum shocks and rebuild kit.
The plastic retainers keep breaking on me. :cry:

As always, pix can be found on my site: http://ryan.fickfamily.ca/Photo%20Album/index.php?album=Misc%2FRC+Stuff%2FMy+ERevo+VXL
