@9569VLAD thanks man

[haveagav]

Ok found why it was not wheeling but now brook a part this thing is a pain idk if i should sell it probly not but my question is does yours getvreally hot i am going to get a fan but idk if it is worth it could you tell me if it worth getting a fan and should i even keep the car

[TractorKid7]

@haveagav keep it if you like it, any rc you get is gonna have problems, its the nature of the hobby. how hot is really hot? its hard to be exact with that if you dont have a temp gun, they can get really hot to the touch and still be perfectly ok. you should try and keep the motor under like 175 degrees. once you get to 200 you run the risk of demagnitizing the motor.

[haveagav]

mabey its beacuase of the metal skidplatenidk i amgoing to the hobby store tody to gear it highr or take the skid plate of

[haveagav]

mine does not at all

[TractorKid7]

@haveagav thats weird, on 3s lipo it should be doing standing backflips. i was getting wheelies with the stock nimh

[masonis1]

@haveagav slipper clutch is prolly too loose. i had my 3s lipo and it wasnt doing standing backflips because the slipper. do you hear a screatching sound on take off. mine sounds really smooth and eases to speed. but i still get mad wheelies. tighten slipper all the way then back out 1/2 a turn. start there and then you can tighten or loosen. tighter = backflips looser= easier on gears and can actually get to speed,

[haveagav]

not the shocks it is the car that kind of turns thane corrects it's self. also idk if the guy i bought it frome lowerd the gearing beacause i thought that on 3s lipo it should wheelie

[haveagav]

Cool i got my all tricked out used for one day has rpm front and back arms and is awesome but i see that when i do street runs it seems to go to the lefft than right and kind of looses control what should do?

[TractorKid7]

@haveagav idk ive never been real good at setting kits up, id try playing with the shock stiffness though

[haveagav]

what rims fit with them

[TractorKid7]

@haveagav any 2.2" truck wheel, rustler or stampede front offset wheels work well on the merv

[haveagav]

where did you get the paddles i thought they dont make them please tell me!!!

[TractorKid7]

@haveagav theyre pro-line sand paws, i got them from tower hobbies but you can get them from almost any hobby shop.

weird question, what is that thing on the tree at 0:52 ? looks like a bug zapper or one of those bird feeders that keep squirrels out lol.

[95666]

oops more like 0:50

[TractorKid7]

@95666 its a bird feeder lol

[95666]

@TractorKid7 haha good guess.

[95666]

I just realized you must have had your tripod really low or all the way down, keeping the cam super close! it does look much better, as soon as i get a chance to make another car/truck vid ill do the same thing.

[TractorKid7]

@95666 yea i lowered it way down, i agree it looks better this way

[trxmh]

nice! those paddles works good in snow.

[TractorKid7]

@trxmh thanks, yea they do!

[somekid908]

I would get paddles for my MERV, but we dont get enough snow where im from in to justify getting them. We get some snow, but i wish we would get more then what we do

[TractorKid7]

@somekid908 i honestly really hate the snow and cold, i just try to make the best of it by doing this lol

[traxxasslash26]

that was amazing man! great vid

[TractorKid7]

@traxxasslash26 thanks!

[everythingboy13]

sick vid.. what tires are those? and what are som eparts you really nedd on the mini revo? thanks get back to me..

[TractorKid7]

@everythingboy13 thanks, theyre pro-line sand paws. id recommend rpm arms and aluminum steering knuckles.

[rccarsrule1000]

what battery

[TractorKid7]

@rccarsrule1000 zippy 2200mah 2s lipo

[rccarsrule1000]

@TractorKid7 how did u waterproff it

[TractorKid7]

@rccarsrule1000 the truck is waterproof stock, the lipo stays pretty dry in its compartment.

[RCNEWStv]

That was pretty cool

[TractorKid7]

@RCNEWStv thanks dude

[95666]

ahah that was cool! looked like it was going through that alot better than last time. There were parts u couldnt even see it! thats one good thing about snow, u can actually drive in it, last time i took my merv out in the wet dirt it freakin sucked, took like an hour with the air compressor to clean it, lol i cant even drive on the road cuz its all wet id just slide around. i could fly my little plane i guess lol, anyway sweet vid! thumbs up!

[TractorKid7]

@95666 thanks! yea snows fun to drive in but most of the time its too deep. that sux about the mud tho.

[95666]

@TractorKid7 yeah i guess mud is fun drive in while ur doing it, afterwards sux though. cool thing with snow is it cleans it.

[TractorKid7]

@95666 yea it does clean it, but i gotta sit there with a hair dryer for 1/2 hour drying it off lol.

[95666]

@TractorKid7 haha i guess theres no way around it with mud or snow then. I wish i could hand you my 1600mah 3s for my merv to try in that snow.

[TractorKid7]

@95666 that 3s would really rip the snow up lol

[timjameson88]

sweet!!!!

[TractorKid7]

@timjameson88 thanks!
