My Mini Revo
*Not from BYT* Yup guys I'm back but first here's my new little guy
*Copied directly from my thread on BYT* Got it today though my LHS charged $300 I brought in Stormerhobbies' price and got it for $275 from my LHS. They must like me :P. But anyway also walked out with a Tenergy battery combo pack but I didn't walk out with a series connector, they didn't have any. So they are gonna make their own and give um away or charge a dollar or two. But first impressions, this thing is fast. Tried it out front of my Poppi's house(grandpa) and its sure fun. Ran 3 packs like that. Wheelies on command, got some dirt in the front bumper so ran through a puddle a few times to wash it off. Man is this fun, did some stoppies, tons of wheelies, and ended up on its lid multiple times. Video should be up in a few hours though I didn't have a camera person and it almost got ran over by my friend's mom haha so the camera got put in the grass! But anyway a size comparison to my MLST2 if anyone wants to see more size comparisons like to my Slash, Nitro Pede, anything.. Feel free to ask. All the pictures were taken right before the 4th and 5th runs in front of my house or in my room. The indoor pictures may be bad or shaky because of bad lighting and i forgot to put on dual image stabilization. http://i159.photobucket.com/albums/t...1/DSCF5231.jpg http://i159.photobucket.com/albums/t...1/DSCF5232.jpg http://i159.photobucket.com/albums/t...1/DSCF5233.jpg http://i159.photobucket.com/albums/t...1/DSCF5234.jpg http://i159.photobucket.com/albums/t...1/DSCF5235.jpg http://i159.photobucket.com/albums/t...1/DSCF5236.jpg http://i159.photobucket.com/albums/t...1/DSCF5237.jpg http://i159.photobucket.com/albums/t...1/DSCF5238.jpg http://i159.photobucket.com/albums/t...1/DSCF5240.jpg http://i159.photobucket.com/albums/t...1/DSCF5241.jpg http://i159.photobucket.com/albums/t...1/DSCF5243.jpg http://i159.photobucket.com/albums/t...1/DSCF5244.jpg http://i159.photobucket.com/albums/t...1/DSCF5245.jpg http://i159.photobucket.com/albums/t...1/DSCF5247.jpg Enjoy!

That rig is awesome. I have been keeping an eye on this product for a while. It is on the top of my list of r/c's to get. I have lots of fun with my xmods but this truck is just awesome. Brushless, fully waterproof and upgradeable to lithium power - how can it get better? I look forward to videos and your opinion on this rig, especially the waterproof-ness.

Very nice man. I want one my self just some problems with the late model came first. Clear outdoor pictures. I wish i could do that, lol. The Losi mini Late model(1/18th) is bigger than the revo. The wheels base it .1 inches bigger and something longer. That says how big the late model is.

Well here is the result of 12 cells(2 6 cells in series), happened once earlier but I fixed it, this time its mulched. Time for a trip to the hobby shop. The reason the u-joint is glued is to prevent the ball joint from popping out, used CA glue.

Time for some much needed alloy drive-line components. ;)

Is the item(s) pictured the only thing that's broken? If so, that's just a common universal joint. I'm fairly certain with enough ingenuity you could use one from the common Vendetta, RC18 or other close scale RC. However, I'm sure it won't be long before MIP, GPM or Atomic have an upgradeable aluminum u-joint. Never the less, it always sucks to have someting break...
