That is really wild! I have seen people take the bodies off and put them on other small RCs but I have never seen one of the minis turned into a working RC! Great job! That was too cool watch it running around!

[@terence79chan]

Thanks Adam for the awesome comment! I am kind of overly obsessed with these mini4WD RC conversions…fortunately i found it as enjoyable building the VQS 1/10 which is my first 1/10 car, watching your channel had drawn me closer to the 1/10 cars for sure! 😍

[@AddamsPlayground]

@@terence79chan I am glad you are enjoying the larger scale ones. They are wonderful and a ton of fun. Sadly way more expensive and take up lots more room though!! 😂

[@wadeskelton7585]

The work you’re doing on these cars is truly next level man 👍👍👍

[@terence79chan]

Thanks for your compliment! Greatly appreciated.

[@monkeyzx9]

I really want to do this to a couple of mine but I just do not have the skills to do it at all. Unbelievable work mate

[@terence79chan]

Thanks for your compliment. The hardest part is soldering the “ T-bone” for the front wheel, I found using the Tamiya steering system set Part 15258 easier, I made a video on that conversion too.

[@jagoanneon722]

That's so sick bro!!! 🔥🔥🔥

[@terence79chan]

Thanks for joining my little adventure with these mini 4WD RC cars!

[@DopeyFPV]

Bro this is some next level stuff man! Awesome vid!!

[@terence79chan]

Thanks for your support bro!

[@teamberserkersstreetmini4w635]

really awesome!!!

[@terence79chan]

Thank you my friend! Glad you enjoyed the video.

[@Jo_Tang_13]

Awesome conversion!

[@terence79chan]

Thanks for visiting! You have an interesting channel, will check out your videos

[@shogunemperor]

Another brilliant video bruddah!! Really love to watch ur mini 4WD/RC conversions!!! Great job man

[@terence79chan]

Thanks bro! I’m glad you like this new method of RC conversion for the mini 4wd.

[@shogunemperor]

@@terence79chan love it man. My only grip is that its way more costly than the kit itself.. hahah otherwise I'd have done mine too!

[@jamesallen6829]

Bravo!

[@terence79chan]

Thanks for watching!

[@eu7kw678]

Silly qn- would u be willing to help me make one and how much would u sell?

[@terence79chan]

Thanks for your question. I will not be making another or accepting any commissioned requests for it , mainly due to the lack of time (thanks to day job and house chores 😔) and a backlog of projects is piling up. I hope this video is of use if you plan to build one yourself.

[@eu7kw678]

@@terence79chan thx Terence. No worries :) all the best

[@brencabral3814]

If you want the stl files for this. Go to the original makers video. The channel name is upload apapun.

[@rexrcs]

Have you ever consider making a conversion kit to sell?

[@terence79chan]

Hi Rex, thanks for dropping by. I have lots of crazy ideas in my head. So much to do but so little time after work. I don’t think I will ever have the time to make any kits for selling. 😂

[@RCDIYHG]

Is your Servo Holder is DIY?

[@terence79chan]

The servo holder is included in the zip file when I purchased the STL files. I had to shave off some plastic to make my servo fit in it though.

[@themorningstar3254]

I’d like to make one. Would you be willing to sell those parts. I don’t have a 3D printer.

[@terence79chan]

sorry, I do not sell 3d printed parts. You may upload the STL files at shapeways.com and they will be able to print them for you.

[@nidzdotnet76]

That's awesome.. You lost me about half way... Way too much work.. Would be cool if Tamiya came out with re re RC Minis from the classics.

[@terence79chan]

Thanks for the interesting comment. Tamiya has a re-re mini RC Grasshopper that looks pretty cute. However, it is close to 1/18 scale which is still too big for my liking.
