You can use the rear solid axle from a micro rs4 and use some high torque motor and some Radio shack toy car monster tires and wheels. Then you can do a 4-link suspension thingy etc etc etc.

ppl have nitro minimt and electric mini mt's

get a rs4 mini and fit niro MT arms on it...
it's that easy

I have done it. I took a Rustler front and rear end, made a new chassis, and bolted them on. To give you an idea of how small it was, the front and rear end almost touched (Just enough room for a battery pack width wise). It had the suspension of a raised Rustler, but was extremely short.

look in the magazine rc car. they had an article about a guy that made a 1/32 scale mt. he took a bigfoot snap together kit and put a cox free flight engine in it. he made his own flywheel and driveshafts and everything. he uses standard radio gear and stuff. its pretty cool.:D

What about a RS4 sport2? Think the arms will fit from the MT? I would assume the dogbones n stuff would fit as well?

Might do this with my T-Maxx wheels. :D

I saw that one in RCCA magazine, but it did not look like it had any ground clearance. It looked like a touring car that had a high monster truck body. Traxxas or someone else needs to make a 1/15 to 1/18 scale high performance monster truck just like the E-Maxx that can use standard equipment and can work off of one battery. That would be sweet. I have yet to see a mini monster that could handle like a real monster truck.

that wasn't what i was looking for but it is preatty awsome.

i was looking for the one in rcca monster that had a mini tube chassis. it had dual motors and everything, basically a mini txt. it was awsome.

i will try to build this mini that was linked and tell you how it turns out.

does anyone know where that motor mount came from?

[Burnout]

Is this the one that you are talking about?

[Mr.X]

I have seen that truck too. It is sweet. I would love to get my hands on that.

~X~

[RS4rally1124]

yep thats it.

i really love mini and a collection is growing. i have a brp18 and am building a mrs4 and that other mini monster. this tube frame one would be an awsome addition.

i restate my coment i will pay for instructions(detailed to best of abbility) to that truck

hey,im in the creation process of a mini mt 4WD (only 6 inches long!!!!!!!) i have a post in this setion. im constructing the chasis out of brass tubing,using the front nd rear gear boxes out of a hpi nitro rs4 mt , and making the drive shafts out of the traxxas drive shafts. its going to be a four link suspension setup i think i mightse a 540 motor but i have been thinking of the weight nd top heavyness and pace issue so i have opted fr the team orion big block and the micro flash esc bth usd for the micro rs4's


i will let you kno how it comes ot (in a month or 2 or 3):rolleyes:

[Lord_bunker]

take lot's of pictures and you could make instructions for us dummies.

[t3 tc3 racer]

i could do that (make in structions) once i get all the bugs out. im trying to find fron axle cariers that will work on a 4wd i think i might take some parts off a traxxas car i think i might use some parts off a4 tec , bu i have to findout if they are 4wd,


so im going that have parts from ,hpi,orion,traxxas, and whtever i have to use to make this work. ill keep you guys updated:)

[Lord_bunker]

there's a mini x you could look at. it's basically a 4wd miniz. i've heard they're kinda cheaply made though. you can get the basic kit for only $40 from tinyrc.com
here's a pick
