short term review: mini e-revo? results?

[Finnster]

I don't understand the point of the mini-revo. I saw one and basically thought it was like an undersized CRT.5 with much crappier parts and construction (like plastic tubes for pushrods..) It seems like its asking to be a money pit. Esp given that Amain lists it for $290 while the Crt.5 is $185 and the Mini STe is $160 respectively and have 1/8th scale quality parts.
