Go ahead and add a second servo, save yourself some time changing them. The original don't hold up very long at all. I put 1/10 scale motor in mine with a max 10 esc. It's nuts lol. Them diffs don't hold long either, even stock.

Speaking about body posts, this car is a perfect candidate for using Velcro to hold the body on, instead of clips. Just place the Velcro between the battery doors and your body, and you're golden.

Wow, how timely this video is! I bought my 1/16 Revo a couple months ago. Just returned from a 10 day camping trip a couple days ago. I'd packed the car, radio, batteries, charger, parts and tools all in a single backpack. Went through probably 4 batteries throughout the trip in my downtime. Found myself doing more crawling maneuvers around the campsite, than fast stuff. Maybe that's a hint I need to invest in a mini crawler as well.

You could probably use some of the 1/16 summit parts to make the Mini Revo have more travel. Then put a crawling motor in it.

I’ve always been a traxxas guy. But I love, and own a lot of other RC car brands too. Like associated, Losi, etc. This was a great video, Mark. I’ve recently bought the XRT and slash BL 2s and love them both. As I used to be a nitro only guy back in the late 90’s, early 2000’s, when the electrics were nowhere near what they are now. I’ve been on the fence about this mini E revo for a while. But this video convinced me I may just need to get one 😂 Please keep these awesome videos coming!

You forgot one of the most important upgrades for the MERV though: center diff. It helps lessen the impact on that rear diff, and just generally makes it drive better. But yes, it is an amazing travel companion that takes no space in the trunk and is insanely fun. I run mine on two 3S 1300 mAh packs in parallel, and the runtime is 40-60 minutes depending on how hard I bash it. Just when running it on 3S (or two NiMHs in series) do install the "speed" pinion. It's actually smaller than the stock (25T vs 29T, iirc), otherwise it'll be overheating badly. I run mine on 25T pinion with 54T spur, and it still overheats if I run it continuously for longer periods.

The merv was my first RC a little over 10+ years ago. I never ran LIPO on it and it still did wheelies like crazy! the weakest link I had with mine was the chassis itself. The front always snapped off and ended up breaking nearly every time I drove it. I miss that little car but it took me out of the RC world for 10yrs until I was an adult and could actually afford hopups/repairs. Now I mainly run crawlers and am picking up a slash soon to run spec slash races. Maybe one day I'll grab myself another Merv. Or better yet, the full sized Revo will call my name

As I remember the mini e revo vxl has a 380 motor where the brushed version has a titan 12t 540. Guys used to get the brushed version just to swap in the velion 3500 from the slash. That thing was crazy. That version may be the one you remember doing standing back flips with.

Hey Mark, my 1/16th E-Revo (MERv) arrives today. I ordered the parts in this video plus the center diff, heat sink (live in hot NV), wheelie bar and a clear body. Last week I was at my local hobby store (LHS) looking for both E-Revo sizes. My LHS was out of stock for both sizes. The manager looked at me and said, "Great cars! Traxxas is out of stock on the 1/10th scale. Wherever you can find them, if you really want them I would advise you to get one now." I asked if he thought they were going to stop making them, especially the 1/10th since the Sledge is now out. He winked his eye at me and smiled. I am going to take that as a yes since he has never suggested not waiting on him to get stock before. After going through many online retailers they either had one left, only had the brushed version for $199.99, out of stock or store pickup only. I bought both from another retailer that day. Even if he is wrong, I have what I wanted.

Glad you’re enjoying it. Out of the dozens of cars I’ve had over the years, this was the biggest pain in the a** I’ve ever owned. Diffs stripping like crazy, even when properly shimmed. Wheel driveshafts kept popping out and the thing that was most annoying is you have to basically disassemble the entire car to access the front/rear diffs. Sold mine. Traxxas makes some good rigs, had most over the years but wasn’t a fan of this one.

Great video @MarkSantaMaria ! Question : Traxxas' site say the wire harness part# mentioned in the video is for NIMH only. Is it ok to run two 2S LIPO's in parallel with this harness without any repercussions?

You can't connect the lipos with the last // cable. With the old // cable, yes. I thinks it's more safe for low voltage detection (for not overdischarge lipo) not to use // cable. But i use this cable like 10 year ago. And not problem. Google Translation ^^.

Still have mine since 2012, only broke 2 front A-arms so far, got it replaced with rpm front A arms last year and never had a problem again although I would highly recommend you putting a metal-geared servo, the stock servo will either break it's gears or burn one of the capacitors on the pcb causing it to stop working. Either way, solid fun rc car Edit: put thicker shocks fluid.

Is that a metric hex bit attached to the Dewalt impact gun? If so, can you please provide links for the metric hex bit and the adapter for it? Thanks.

It needs stiffer shock oil (60wt+) and stiffer rear springs. Also it overheats so not a good idea to run 2S in parallel. I need a 2S; probably gonna get a Gens Ace 2200mah 60C 2S once they’re back in stock.

Will LVC kick in while using the parallel connector and two, 2 or 3 cell lipo? I called Traxxas and they only recommend using a parallel or series with Nimh batteries.

You are bold for wrenching on that 🧀 cheese grater of a table! Only downside to the MERV is the shock oil drains out faster than water. Put Velcro on either side of the body and wave goodbye to body clips forever!

Great video bro, but shame on you for running that stop sign so many times. Also I did the same with my hot rod when I got it chased several cars down. It's a blast. 🤣
