Default RE: My first MERV...

Thanks!

A few questions:

Could apinionchange make the top speed higher and traction looser? If sowhichoneshouldI gofor? And how? ;-)

Also, about running two batteries in series, themanualexplicitly saysthatonthebrushed revo the ESC can't handle the voltage - is it just a question of cooling? If so can I install a small screen metal mash (insteadofthe'front window') andimprovethe cooling? It's usually bellow 10C here in winter (and much lower...)

Lastly,
Does the nini-revo a complete scalereplicaof the E-revo?Otherthan engines etc? How close are they.

Thanks again!

1) With the brushed version your top speed won't be that fast unfortunately. You can try running two batteries in series or change your pinion, just watch your motor/esc temps then.

2) 4wd aren't meant to really slide in corners, they basically track around the corner even in dirt. They won't do any power slides like a 2wd. They are much easier to drive in my opinion.

3) You probably aren't going to be able to do wheelies until you go brushless and lipo. I have a VXL Merv and even with two stock nimhs in series it wouldn't do any wheelies until Istarted running lipos.
