Most of the horror stories I read centered around the drivetrain, so straightaway I replaced almost all the drivetrain parts - out came all of the stock gears and driveshafts, and in went Hot Racing hardened-steel transmission gears, Hot Racing hardened-steel diffs, and Traxxas axle and center-driveshaft CVDs. A year and a half later, and after lots of evenings spent reading, I finally felt ready to take on the challenge of building a MERV that wouldn't suck. However, after reading horror story after horror story about the MERV, I decided to get something else - a Losi Mini Desert Truck - instead. There's something about the "monster-truggy" layout that looks perfectly optimized for hard corners at high speeds, while still having enough suspension clearance to avoid smashing to bits when it runs over a crack in the pavement. In retrospect, years before when I was just reading RC magazines but wasn't rich enough to buy anything, the full-size E-Revo looked cool to me back then too. When I first got into RC and I was researching my first vehicle purchase, the Mini E-Revo was one of the vehicles that appealed most to me.
