    Well Harry you've taken the plunge ad bought a Revoslot. You know I love this car as I have the same model. Congratultions buddy on a great purchase, I guarantee after some setting up you will not be disappointed. Revoslots are without doubt the best looking cars on the market so again well done sir, enjoy I know you will 👍👍👍👍👍

      Hi Rob , yes I really enjoy running it on the track with the minis as they did back in the day. Revoslot certainly got the model spot on ,I've had this one a while now and it runs very well ,I'm happy to have at least one Revoslot in the collection 🙂appreciate you watching and commenting mate 👍

      same shizzle as the 510 Rob, front two screws tight enough so they just start to bind, let the rear two off a bit and should run lovely, don't true the tyres, let them wear in with laps :)

      @slotr thanks Dave that's about the best advice I've seen, is it the same for all revoslots would you say?

      @@robertsale6528 the smaller group 2 ones yes, as a basic tune do that first should get you round a lap fairly briskly, then slacken off the fronts a little at a time until you're happy (will make it so you can drive it harder into the corners) and not so much the rear ones rub. The bigger GT2 and GT1 cars the chassis works differently, most of them all 4 screws are on the body plate and the rattle is adjusted with the brass nuts (the BRMs are the same)

    Nice video Harry! Of my budding Revo collection the Ford MkI is one of my best runners. I did switch of the tires to Quick Slicks silicone tires and add just a hair of weight right in front of the motor to help the back end stick in the corners better on our Carrera track. Very nice unboxing!

      Hi Chris and thank you re unboxing 🙂 those Revoslot cars are great fun with a little bit of tuning they run excellent ...the Datsun everyone is wetting themselves about is ok but I wouldn't be joining the peer pressure and buying one 🤭🤣 I've never bought an aftermarket tyre for any of my cars yet .Rekon ile never have too ,only racing against myself 🤣🤣 appreciate you watching and commenting mate 👍...Harry

      Hi Steve. I will eventually connect the trigger controller but at the moment I only use the thumb type because my wife doesn't like the trigger ones 🫢🤷 those mk1 Escorts certainly are beautiful cars and Revoslot did a great job 👍 thanks for commenting mate ....Harry

    Hey Harry, looks stunning. Best looking Mk1 I have seen, bodies are very high quality and really the best available. Sounds like your gear mesh needs setting up. I found with my other Revo a very light sanding and traction oil made a difference. I have the same chassis with the 510. It took me about an hour to set up. A lot of side play on my back axle. Best thing to do if you want a quick car is strip and check everything. Be very careful with the motor bolts as the heads can strip easy. Enjoy

    Very nice car Harry! I have one myself (different livery), just haven't had time to get to it yet lol. As you may know now, you don't have to fully remove the Revo body mount screws, you can just pull on the body side and slide the chassis out. The second guide is deeper for wood tracks.

    My first real car was a 1971 MK1 Escort 1300, bought second hand from a dealer in 1979. It was a great car and I ended up having a friend restore a 1600 engine and fit it to the car.
