Squirrel’s Mini REVO Review- 1/3 Initial Impresions
Check out Squirrels forum! forums.thetoyz.com This video series is on my review of the mini slash and the mini revo. I grade the kit and tell people what to honestly expect. Nothing bubble gum and everything nice here. If you want to know what to expect, with an honest review, then this is where to look! Video 1- out of the box impressions. What this means is what does the kit look like, are there any potential issues with it, did the manufacturer do anything wrong? video 2- running video- this video is of me running it. In the case of the minis I put an hour (or so) on each. Video 3- after running review. We all know that things look nice and shiny out of the box. But, how does it perform? This will be the final grade.

Hi- I do 3 video reviews. This is video 1 which is out of the box. Then I run it (running video) and then I do the after run review.
Perhaps you should see the other 2 in the series =)

Mr. squirrel, my servo went bad, and i found a replacement and it is a hitec hs mini with metal gears.. but it only has 38.88 oz of torque? would i be able to tell the difference of 41.7 oz (stock servo) to the hitec (38.88

Cool detailed review
It is not the place to do it but: My batteries from an E-zilla are broken and they are expensive so I am doubting(?) if i’d buy new batteries or a new E revo Vxl?

high speed pinion is 5 teeth lower isnt it… i believe to reduce heat??
Report this comment
Id have to crack the manual to find out as I dont have it off the top of my head. Its about there. The more teeth you have the more amps you will draw. So, it is to reduce motor amp draw, motor stress, etc which also reduces hear.
