Hi there, guys. I thought I should make a thread like this, since I took many initial information of a donor car from here for my build. ...and since I accidentally have got forum account too...
A while ago (about 4 years) I saw a small chinese rc monster truck on ebay, that was a poor garbage toy without any suspension and decent steering, like all chinese toys are. But it had a very cute size. Then I thought it could be very nice to drive something this small over my keyboard and other table stuff, but there was no good car around in such scale. Off course after some search I found Kyosho Mini-Z Monster 1:30, that cost for good 170$; it was nowhere to be found, was rwd, got low profile tyres (it's monster-truck! omg!) and had some steering durability issues. After this I put my mini-rc intentions to rest for a while.
Not so long ago I searched for a nice cute gift for my little (27 y.o., 28 myself) brother for NY 2016. Occasionally I bought this:
I remember how we both played with such friend's toy (

but with 17011 Nissan Terrano '93 Paris-Dakar) when we were kids.
After this buy my small-scale-rc thoughts came to mind with new force, and I started to think that I'm skillful enough (bought Savage Flux and changed some basic parts, talk about skill, heh) to make a small hobby grade RC car out of this.
Then I started to search if there were any attempts to make something I wanted to achieve. Well... and there they were. There was even wood made suspension! But the most successful person was some japanese guy, made his slightly-out-off-scale car a long ago. Here is the video

(could someone embed it right, anyway?)
I knew I needed assembled axles in first place to make my build more easy. (I didn't look for a challenge, I just was forced to do Tamiya's job really, slacky bastrads).
Thank god there was Orlandoo Hunter around! Precision of it's plastic parts varied from bad to horrible, but I didn't need to make axles myself, right? %)
After a bit of work here is the result!
Parts used:
Tamiya Wild Mini 4WD kit №10
oh35p01 kit
oh35p01 ESC
Orange GR300 receiver
DualSky 220mAh 2s 25c lipo
HK-5330 Ultra-Micro Digital Servo
N20 Motor 6v 1:100
https://youtu.be/xpsrRQw3ouU - completed version
https://youtu.be/IjHVWl3drK4 - some middle work test with lunchbox body
I could post computer models of unique parts such as gearbox and frame, if someone interested.
And there is my LJ Scout Handbook, where I posted build progress, but it's all in... some kind of russian. Don't even try to google translate it. %)
P.S. I really appreciate if somebody would embed videos in this post.
