Integy makes a good set of hex drivers. all u need is the metric set. u can find them on ebay or from just about any online hobby shop. then all u need after that is a metric set of 1/4" sockets & a...
I'm going back o the stock ones. got a set of (I think) STRC's or GH ones when I first got my Merv. one of the rear ones at the shock mount stripped out, and another one seems to hang up on the...
any of the small drivers will work as long as u don't crank the screws down tight. I picked up one from costco for 18 bucks it works great
I just bought (I think) an 1/8 scale OFNA body, Mercedes AMG. Looks like w/ slight mods to the bumpers it will fit nicely
twisted the rear drive shafts & took out the axle bearings
as far as body clearance u might want to look at 1/8 scale bodies. I just got an onroad one for my slash & it looks like a lot of room for wider tires. Its going to be the only Mercedes AMG offroader...
I'm running a GTB & Ballistic 8.5 set up on my PE & I love it. With an Integy heat sink & fan I reach temps of about 110 degrees on a hot day. I smoke all the "stock" slashes & some of the castles at...
dynamite makes alumn servo horns for all brands of servos. I'm running one on my airtronics rockcrusher which is installed on my 4x4 PE. works great
yeah the spektrum micro's fit great
welcome to the addiction, err...hobby. sounds like your well on your way. the only advice I can give is shed the aluminum, it adds weight & puts stress on the plastic it is connected to. if u want...
290 PE w/ Novak Power & Team Bluestar shocks, RPM bumpers, & A-arms
what is the advantage of the center diff over a slipper in the 4x4? I run on a large outdoor track & i've experienced no problems w/ my slipper as far as controlled acceleration or handling. I'm...

I got my Integy motor heat sink & fan from thetoyz. Picked up a 'Y' harness from my lhs & wired the 2 fans into the esc.
I pitched mine. seemed like it funneled the dust & dirt into the chassis
mini's are to jump just because of the short wheelbase & light weight. throttle control is essential. I'm still working on it. I can drive my 1/10 scales almost to the point of out of control & jump...
Love the Ruger icon. nice touch for a Big "Gun"
have bought several items from them for my Merv including a set of their shocks. overall they have been excellent purchases, except their rear chassis brace, I had to buy longer screws than what they...
found probably the main cause of the bearing failure, the splines on the drive shafts were warped or actually bent causing the shafts not glide smoothly, this was on both sides rear only. the left...
read the threads most people are happy w/ their trucks. I can't really speak from experience cause I go a PE roller & put a Novak ballistic 8.5 & an Aitronics 94362 rockcrusher servo in it
thats what I was going to ask. I stripped my truck down today & found the rear drives were shot (splines were warped & binding) probably what caused the bearings to go. & I'm running a 8.5 novak...
Got the outer races out. surprised that the damages to the hub was minimal. took some light sanding to outer edges & it seems to be good to go. will be pulling the truck completely apart this weekend...
I've got an Airtronics Rockcrusher that I love although the speed of it takes a little getting use to
they look like they're welded in, but will try tomorrow at work. went ahead & bought the plastic hubs at my lhs & some replacement bearings just to get it up & running.
Since I drive it fairly...
Out running today, ran one battery thru it. let it cool off & ran my Merv for a while
went to put the second battery in & saw my right rear had a wobble...
