General info[]
As its name implies, it is a speed-focused motor and has higher power but lower torque when compare to Torque-Tuned Motor.
The original version of the Rev-Tuned Motor has the Mini-F label as it was originally a upgrade parts for Mini-F. The second version changed the label to replace the word 'Mini-F' with '4WD' (as in Mini 4WD). The current version has the word '4WD' removed from the label and the empty space has been filled with the larger-size of the words 'Rev-Tuned Motor'.
The original Rev-Tuned Motor had the purple endbell cap, while the rest of the Rev-Tuned Motors have the blue endbell cap. Only the original Rev-Tuned Motor PRO came with brass pinion gears attached. Only the Rev-Tuned Motor PRO use the carbon brushes, while the rest uses the copper brushes.
Due to its lower torque, it is not recommended to use on Mini 4WD cars with large-diameter wheels and low-gear ratios.
