RE: OFFICIAL MINI E-REVO THREAD!!!
Just have a newbie ? What all can be adjusted with the GPM turnbuckles and tie rods? Also I think The Toys has new steel spur gears as well, I think they are new anyway.

Xrevo34...
i'm going to order the heatsink and fan, just not sure on color! In fact, i plan on ordering alot of the alluminum upgrades, being that the weight will keep the Merv planted better for traction without harming top speed much. I will go with the skid plates and shocks and turnbuckles down the road. My Merv is the Gray body with the blue pin striping or "tattoes" looks like tribal art down the front and sides. I may go with some blue alluminum and silver alluminum. Maybe blue turnbuckles and blue chosks, but silvr skids and heat sink... man there are soo many choices! I want to avoid being too much silver and too much blue; however, does it really matter??? I truly just want to enjoy bashing it, without the worry of damaging parts! - Joe |

hey... my local sears is having a super sale the next couple days. they have an infrared digital thermometer on sale 50% off - 19.99. Not sure if that's a good deal or not, but it normaly costs 39.99; so, i assume it will be more than beneficial for the R/C use it will get.
By the way, does anyone know what the operating temps are for our R/C's? Like, what is the max limit before damage will follow to the motor, esc, etc? - Joe |
RE: OFFICIAL MINI E-REVO THREAD!!!
Hey one quick question: Do i need to purchase half shafts? Will ordering the CVD's replace the need to get the addiitonal half shafts? I read somewhere that i need to get extra half shafts... what about ordering additional center shafts?
- Joe |
RE: OFFICIAL MINI E-REVO THREAD!!!
Id grab that sears thermometer if I were you.You won't find one much cheaper than $20 for a decent name brand one.I paid $50 for one about 2 weeks ago on amazon.

RE: OFFICIAL MINI E-REVO THREAD!!!
All right, before I go crazy like our good buddy xrevo34 and order every alluminum upgrade... Has anyone truly tested out these hop-ups on the mervs through extreme bashing? I only ask, because just upgrading to alluminum parts does t necessarily make the r. Stronger. While I would easily agree that the colorful alluminum parts we can upgrade to look wicked cool... It may be more costly in the long run when you have to replace parts after a good crash because the alluminum part bent or cracked. Plastic can be more forgiving and cheaper. I guess it will ultimately be trial and error with these, but I would hope that the alluminum hop-ups actually do provide better strength, weight, handlng, performance, etc.
Heat sinks, shocks, turnbuckles, drive shafts a few others, are needed items. |

RE: OFFICIAL MINI E-REVO THREAD!!!
Hi there guys,
Im looking for a cool christmas present for my Dad. He wants: - Something electric, MUST be brushless - Something fast - Something that you can bash and is durable for jumping Is the Mini E-Revo VXL my best option? Savage Flux is a bit pricey and I have the nitro version... He currently has a Summit which he likes to crawl with but it lacks speed. Ive heard the 1/16 E-Revo VXL is very durable and very fast with two batteries. What sort of runtime do you get with the two battery set up in series for the 50mph top speed? It looks like a fun car, my only worry is its size. He wants fast and can jump. Thanks for the help!! Much appreciated |
RE: OFFICIAL MINI E-REVO THREAD!!!
Hi All,
I just a mini e-revo and it's a nice car and is pretty fast, although if you hook up the series adapter for increased speed and power you can burn up the esc in the <u>NON</u>-VXL 1/16 e-revo. The XL 2.5 ESC cant handle 2 batteries for power, but can handle the other series adapter for battery life. The ESC has a problem and doesnt have a shut off voltage built in. Im fairly new to the RC hobby and does anyone have any advice for me on why the esc wants to smoke and sizzle? |
RE: OFFICIAL MINI E-REVO THREAD!!!
The Brushed mini E-Revo cannot run 2 packs and the Y adapter... do not try this... it WILL burn up your ESC... the XL 2.5 ESC cannot handle 14.4 volts.. My wife found this out the hard way.. but the mini went hellah fast too bad it's burnt... gonna upgrade it to brushless next month.. I bought the 1/16 Erevo VXL on ebay for 250, my car is Sick... fast... and fun...

RE: OFFICIAL MINI E-REVO THREAD!!!
Just to clarify: You can use the parallel adapter with them, just not the series adapter.
|
RE: OFFICIAL MINI E-REVO THREAD!!!
As long as you are using parallel NiMh, not parallel LiPo/LiFePo

RE: OFFICIAL MINI E-REVO THREAD!!!
Hey Guys,
New to the forum and thinking of getting myself a mini E-Revo and have a few Q's; Does the brushless version run good on 3s Lipo? What size packs can you fit in? Any must have hop ups for bashability? The non adjustable turnbuckles look a little dodgy? Can you get alum replacement shocks? Thanks guys Simon |

RE: OFFICIAL MINI E-REVO THREAD!!!
ok this looks pretty cool...dose all of them come with the same paint job or can i paint it my self?

I dont think you can use 2.2"s unless they have a 12mm hex, which I dont think any 2.2s have from memory? Kyosho Super 10 rims are probably the closest you can get I think. |

Two niMh batteries in series will make it run 50+mph and have about 10-15 min. of run time. In parallel it will go about 30+ and have double the run time. If you get two lipo batteries in series then the speed will be CRAZY, BUT you will need an external LVC because the stock one is only good to 3s. I would get 2s x 2 and use them in parallel, which would give you 50++mph and about 40ish minutes of run time from what I have read up on. |
