- Testing and tuning the Revoslot Toyota GT-1 this week. This is a baseline tuning and the results are massive!
Anymore ideas to make it even better? Leave them in the comments!
I picked up this Revoslot and other great slot cars at Cincyslots.com!

These tutorials are normally boring except when you Marty produce them you make slot cars fun for us old guys
😂 I try my best Barry!
Revoslot genau meine Marke. Das sind die besten Rennwagen.❤❤❤❤
Ralph, Rwvoslots are fantastic!!
Thanks, Marty. I've got one of the earlier Revo Toyota GT1s and will have to try some of these tricks.
I really enjoy driving this car..
Great tuning hints!!!!!!!
Just the basics.. but they go a long way.
This has been a great slot car video, Marty. Yes, these Toyota GT One cars have a great balance. What you have done here is about the long and short of what I have ever tuned out of a Revo and I otherwise learned a new trick in terms of 'shimming' the removeable axle blocks - not that I suspect it will deliver much. The only remaining thing, perhaps, is to add some weight albeit these are already well distributed with the metal and low.
I find that it depends on the model. I usually don’t have to add weight.. but with my group 2.. I added 2gr. In the right spot.. gained me a tenth and the car camps in the slot now!
@@twolinesslotcars Thanks Marty. Yes, it is always a balance because too much weight slows things down. 'Playing' slot cars is really just fishing for 'the sweet spot'. As 'hunter gatherers then I just guess that's what we're 'programmed' to do :)
@@MrDarrenp40 exactly!!!
Great video Marty!
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks Dave!
Nice work Marty! Thank you for posting these tutorials. Love it!
Scott.. These are the basics.. you can play with ride height, tires are always the big difference.. getting the gear mesh right.. I am sure other top tuners have more speed secrets.. lol
I think that wood guide would help my BRM also.
It is a nice that Revo includes it with every car.
Marty, I have run my REVO cars with and without the guide spring but the REVO guide post holder is designed to allow the thickness of the spring. Removing the spring gives the guide post inside the guide holder a slight left to right movement which you may not want. Some drivers have developed a collar that can go over the guide post to reduce the left to right movement. Or you can still run the guide with spring and screw down the guide so that you have no up and down movement.
Thanks John! Great info to know.. yes, I left the spring in place, just tightened the guide down to not allow the float up and down…
Saturday Morning Two Lines Coffee Time - best way to start my Saturday morning with Rost Coffee in hand and slot cars with Marty. Thank you for your time you give our Slot Car Family week in and week out. I will be re-watching this video when my Datsun 510's arrive in the near future so a can tune them better.
Chris, I will be doing a video when I get my Datsun as well.. the group 2’s are a little different animal. Very similar but a few different things we have tried that seem to work.
@@twolinesslotcars My Quick Slicks have already arrived.
Nice overview Marty
Thanks 👍
car runs nice Marty
It’s a find drive for sure!
Your have too much fun Marty😄😄😄, I really love that car, the paint is off the hook
Ted, revoslot knocked it out of the park..
With gear mesh… do you put a piece of paper between the two. Then push them together to tighten them. Lastly turn them getting the paper out…
Yes Danny.. same gear lash as RC cars..
Great tuning tips, Marty. Funny about those Revo brass nuts. I've backed off on a few of them to adjust chassis and lost them on the track. I usually use small square of electrical tape. Just got the Porsche 911 Quadri livery. Out of the box testing today!😊
John, you only have to lose them once to learn the lesson 😂 I really like the Quadri livery… enjoy the testing.. it is so much fun for me.
Gonna call you the slammin man ! Kept tge track dusted keep tires nice n clean.. thanks.
That's the plan!
That car will be a beast when it’s run it. And yes, I think your brother put your braid in his box🤦♂️
😂😂😂
Marty, Now that you have 4 lanes, do you run digital much? If so, does it require a lot of switching of power components to go back and forth between the two?
Thanks for your channel. I get alittle different perspective from all you guys who have slot car channels.
We have not run a lot of digital since we went 4 lanes.. the only thing I have to do is swap out the straight next to CU. I plan to finish my wiring box so I can just flip a switch.. but it is going to take a little work. We run digital when the family races. Still so much fun!
Hi Marty, nice tuning video, can you point me in the right direction as to the known issues with the revoslots I cant seem to find any info on this. Thanks
DNA made an announcement about it.. on his channel I think.. it is a front wheel and axle issue. Not all cars are impacted..
@@twolinesslotcars Thank you
Great video Marty. It's almost time to get my Revos ready, just waiting on some tools! Do you have a list of the tools you used?
Revos take a small Phillips tip screw driver and a 1.5 hex.. that’s about it. :) they are fantastic cars..
@@twolinesslotcars Marty could you tell use what brand is your yellow hex head. My brother has been having a bad time with .9 screwdrivers stripping.
@@beamer64 it is from Harbor Freight.
Hi Marty, I picked up one of these cars and I’m running Carrera digital. This is my first non Carrera car. This car is slower than all of my Carrera cars because it doesn’t do well in the turns. I have replaced the tires with super tires silicon, which helped some. I have also replaced the guide with the deep guide including sanding it down some. I also added a little weight to the car. Do you have any other tips to help this car handle the turns better? I want this car to turn the best lap times but it’s currently the worst.
Jim, silicon tires like a clean track. There is no magnet, so if your Carrera cars still have magnets in them.. they will drive the corners better. You can always add a magnet to your revoslot.
@@twolinesslotcars Marty, I wipe down my track before I race so it’s pretty clean. The car came with a magnet so I put that as far back in the car as I could. Is this about as good as it’s going to get?
@@jimjanson8548 Jim, you might try to moving the magnet just in front of the motor. I don’t run magnets in my analog cars. Getting the magnet closer to the track will help too. If you have room on the bottom of the chassis.
@@twolinesslotcarsok thanks Marty. And thanks for all you do for the hobby. I tune in on Tuesdays when I can. I’ve learned a lot from you!
@@jimjanson8548 thanks so much Jim!
Thank you for this post Marty ...I have my first Revoslot(escort mk1)and need to tune it properly. Getting the tiny hex tool is something i need to do .I will order it online if I can . Im so awkward and ham fisted with these tiny components. Always tighten to much and strip the plastic. I save you post as a guidance for me endeavours 😊thanks again 🤗 "we're adults and we are playing with toy cars" ....well said Marty .People in clubs forget that too often
Harry.. the Group 2 cars a little different but most everything translates to them from the video.
Can you chip that car?
Brian, yes. It’s pretty easy.. the hole for the led is pre drilled.
act accordingly if you go somewhere if you have no rules in your personal life and race track dont take that attitude else where not everyone is the same in life , bad attitudes and poor personal discipline ruin atmospheres .life advice we can all follow
Great advice…👏
