All you need is a full working train set and layout with some cool landscaping and a bunch of buddys and you could have a fun working miniature world. Pretty nice

Table Top Truck Trials or TTTT for short.

Japan doesn't make them smaller.

They have made crawlers:


I love them, and have been trying to make one for a while. So far, not much luck.

OMG, my eyes can't handle some of the 1/10 scale details........I do have a 1/87 HO train layout but that stuff is way to small for me to handle.

No kiddin, cutting out a piece that small on a lathe would be very frustrating

They do look like they would be really sweet to drive

If anyone could pull off a micro crawler it'd be Losi. They seem to do the best small-scale work.

I'd be down also. I'd like something small to take on business trips...

Even though I did'nt understand much of what was said, they were speaking my language. I have always been fascinated with miniture vehicles and such, never imagined it could get this small. I am truly amazed!

While the TTTT's are already tiny, this is just ridiculous.

Good Lord!! 1:160th scale??

I'm just baffled. There has to be a servo, motor, battery, esc, and reciever in there somewhere. Unless it's a trick of some kind (does he have a strong magnet under his hand?)

How do you make steering linkage that small?

How do you solder the electronics?

My eyes are gettin so bad I have trouble with some of the small stuff on my 1:10 vehicles. I can't even imagine working at this scale...

Losi Brushless 1/87 crawler?? If they can make 1/36 scale brushless truck they can make 1/87. A prototype RTR before the holidays is possible.

I'll need new tools (Treezers) and magnifying glasses.
