Add it to your cart, go to the checkout, see if it adds 20% odd “for tax”. If it does then 0% chance you’ll have to pay extra - if it doesn’t then probably 5% or even less chance you’ll get stung imho.

WOW just wow......looking at the titles of some of his other videos I think this one has completely gone - no coming back!! 

Could just get something like this and run it from a random lipo, I’d probably use something like this as my main starter nowadays if I still did nitro I reckon.

Yeah they do all that mini monster jam stuff over there but I can't say I've ever seen much interest in it over here. We still like our monster trucks to be able to go round corners at speed even if they do topple over 

Wheelie bump with integrated flag mount!!

🤦🏼‍♂️🤦🏼‍♂️

I've not even really looked into it tbh but I do like a good rpg and I'm not against the potterverse...maybe I should just get it on the ps4.

Trying to confuse me into getting a ps5 and that hogwarts game instead you mean….hmm 

Looking at getting one of those Outcast 4s v2’s. Initially I preferred the bronze but then the blue started growing on me. Then wife whose favourite colour is blue said bronze and ofc all the kids are saying blue 🤦🏼‍♂️
 

I’d prefer the blackness of the 6s but I’m not that rich and the 4s still looks fun 😄 

Fair enough and yeah tis quite low 🙂

Aww I though you were gonna try that random 19t out?

Did you even use yours yet froggy?

Use it and abuse it 😂

4620kv 540 motor, countless dual 2s packs, often larger and/or heavier than stock wheels, still running the centre tranny - 0 diff issues in all the many many years i’ve abused mine.
 

I don’t bother with 3s and/or standing backflips anymore though, I’m old 😄 

Anyone remember selling me a full blue rpm tenbol merv with one of those blue 380 in a 540 can motors (not what I run now)? What magic did you do to the diffs? Tell those lot ☝🏻☝🏻🤣

Spin the esc 180, run the battery wires under the motor and remove the esc fan - it’ll just get smashed anyway 🙂 

Hot racing knuckles eh…fancy 😂

Seems 28 pinion, 50 spur is stock brushless so that’s a good place to start if you are buying a pinion 🙂 

It will probably be a wheelie monster though 🙂

18 is in the acceptable range with a 50/55 spur according to the chart it would seem 🙂

Yeah a 60a is plenty, tis what I have in mine, that other one I had i used a 35a for the 380 velineon and it was fine. The stock one I think is even lower.

I imagine the brushed and brushless probably have the same shaft size so assuming it has a usable number of teeth you might be alright.

Swapping out the esc is like the first essential mod on any traxxas though right? Swap out the dead servo being the second 😂😂

What pinion is on the brushed? Going by the gearing chart you can use a wide selection on brushless 🙂 

Depends what gearing you have on the brushed.

Gearing chart at about page 24 - you might be fine with what you have already 🙂 

Don’t restore it…run it…when you break an arm/knuckle - get rpm….when you break a wing - replace it at some point…other than that choose appropriate rubber (on/off road) and have fun with it 😀

Yeah the 380 velineon will just drop right in…I run a 540 on a tenbol mount myself but they are probably rocking horse doo doo nowadays…brushed 1/16 summit mount though is just as good/easy for 540 should you feel the need. I had another one on the velineon 380 and it was good enough tbh. 2s for long lasting fun is plenty imho - 3s for showing off/breaking stuff 😂

That bit 👍🏻

Yeah you can get 1800-2200mah 2s that’ll fit. Depending what you have/get you may need to cut the rearmost angled bit of the battery doors off to allow the wires to get out 👍🏻

Hitec hs82mg is what you need 👍🏻
 

The 380 velineon is plenty of motor for a merv…manageable fun on 2s…madness on 3s. Esc can just be double sided sticky foamed to the chassis. 

If you did ever want to go 540 the brushed summit motor mount is actually the easiest way 😄 

Those shocks aren’t stock…the stock ones don’t hold oil so they’ll either be just as good or better at least so that’s a bonus.

Still love my merv…had it for years…will have it for more years 🙂
