Thank you, You helped me repair my revo! Saved me so much time, money, and driving to the repair shop (which what I was going to do) ... I'm glad I did it myself but couldn't have done it without your help. Thanks again!

You’re welcome glad it helped you. Unfortunately the Merv can’t be bashed a lot

I did this to my merv. It is awesome!

It is because of u and this video I was able to fix my merv roller today in like 10min found a used one in great shape but they sold because the driveshaft was done well 100$ on the merv $30 for the steel internals and maybe an hr throwing this and swapping out to rpm control arms slapped in a battery and it runs like a top!!👍🏼 I actually just snagged a maxx roller since I seen u had videos on it i felt comfortable enough to tinker with it too. Kinda crazy the deals for used things I guess I’m glad people don’t like to fix there own stuff or take the little effort to learn on here but again Thank You sir 👍🏼🙏

The LED kit.

Put some steel bearings on your steering bell crank & servo saver it’ll make it so much more smooth.

Definitely will, just haven’t gotten around to it. Should have come stock with steel not plastic.

What would happen if you left the bottom plate off?

I bet the axles would last longer, there are a few screws you would still need to secure the transmission. Might be worth trying

@Red BANDIT Racing I got a question, do you know the part number for the screw that goes into the rear bulk head in the two middle holes, top holes are part number #3236 middle is ?? these hold the rear cambers, bottom holes are part numbers #7021 please let me know, as I need to buy cheers.

Sorry for the late response, I went out and double checked because that diagram for those screws can be misleading. They are #3236, any longer and it will puncture the rear bulkhead into the ring gear of the differential.

nice vid! im getting mine soon, these videos are super handy. What tires are those?

Thank you, we appreciate it. Those are the ProLine Trenchers 2.2”. We use them on the BANDIT but they work great on the Merv. Lots of traction.

Great video. I see you own a lot of traxxas rigs. Many folks complain about this Merv being hard to work on. What is your opinion on the maintenance? It seems to me like once you work on it a few times you would learn the ins and outs “tricks” on how to take apart and put back together which would improve efficiency. Thoughts?

After the second time working on this RC, it’s not hard. Just keep your screws organized because there are a few different sizes. I actually enjoy working on it.

Does anybody know where I can get a replacement set of set screws for the original drive shafts. I can’t seem to find the right size screws
