I bought it used, the extras included aluminum front skid, wheelie bar, and rocker bearings.

I have tried a couple of different minis in the past and I hated both of them but after watching many many videos of the mini revo I couldn't resist trying it.........I'm glad I did! This thing is nothing like the 18t or little losi, this thing is a beast! The coolest thing about it is that you can have insane power and speed on two cheap nimh packs, lipo not needed. I ran it once on the two little packs and my jaw dropped when I hit the throttle, it's like a Tasmanian devil on steroids!

Of coarse silly fast is not enough so I do have a pair of lipos for it and 4s is unreal! It actually takes throttle control to land a single back flip, it was very close to getting double back flips on flat ground! On a speed run I got it close to 3/4 throttle before it went into cartwheels. I got about 4 minutes of run time before it blew out a rear drive shaft. I think I'll stick to 12 cells (still insane) or 2s from now on LOL

Like it's big brother it's a tough mofo, but the arms are the weak point. I broke an upper rear a few days ago and it's still going strong...broke the other one today during this little bash session.

GH racing needs to hurry up with those arms!!!!!!!!
