One thing that could help from snapping driveshafts and hurting the diff is keeping the clutch just slightly looser.

Get the t bone racing chassis plate with bumpers it will solve alot of your problems with the merv!

our mini e revo is our oldest rc and is still going strong on 2s. we put in the upgraded center diff and noticed more traction control with it. in fact thats what it does, it turns the revo into a constant 4 wheel drive to a traction control rc, just like a car or truck giving power to the wheels that need it most. i also had the slightest space in the diff covers when i put in thicker diff fluid. thought that was strange but so far so good.

I have teo of them and they're fun but complicated so, subscribed and will be watching.

Excellent awesome. I understood everything, one of the best repair/upgrade rc car videos i have see. I will subscribe because you done very good job.

Thank you for watching, and your definitely right the Merv is not a basher

You need aluminum bulkhead too

And spiral diffs from hot racing

Just use a couple of shims on the diff that’s how I fixed mine

They sell the full diff and shims

Our Hobby Store has gotten pretty bad with parts, bought what they had in stock. But yeah it’s better if the whole assembly is available where you are.

You didn't necessarily have to buy the whole differential or part 7078, I had the same problem and I managed to take apart the differential itself and only had to use 7079 to fix the merv.

Just be prepared to add some silicone grease or part 1647 to the diff before putting it back together

Does not have to run 3s for that prob to appear . 1/16 brushed Slash has same issues. Easy fix unde 20 bucks , new rear diff, old diff. out to trash.

The Slash may be different, the mini Erevo can run on 2s without any issues. This fix and upgrade needs to be done to avoid it from happening again.

@@redbanditracingI have never run my e revo o 3s and also have this problem. It hasnt been used in a few years because of it but now in thinking in fixing it. Do you think a rear aluminium bulkhead is also needed, or I am good with just the skid plate

Good question, my local hobby shop had the aluminum bulkhead sitting on his shelf for years. He offered it to me for 50% off but I bought the plastic instead. I’m sure the aluminum would be fine, but the aluminum skid plates are way cheaper to get to fix the issue.
