same here.... I just ordered a bunch of parts from
www.mikroantriebe.de. A motor, gearbox (1:120), a tiny ESC, and a servo...and I already have a tiny GWS Rx, a chassis and front axle from TTTT-Parts.org, a Lemo-Solar box motor...and three MAN 5T's (two still in boxes, one already cut up) and some tiny 120Mah cells...(the little green ones).... but I still feel a bit intimidated... I tried using a mini-Z board and wiring it to a standard servo but I messed something up and it didn't work ...that would have been ideal....
I totally wouldn't mind an RTR or at least w/o the radio(they use different frequensices over seas anyway) to get the hang of this thing... then building my own with the parts I have later...
when it all boils down.. eventually I want a six-wheel drive MAN7t with lights.... but I have to take baby steps first...and never seeing one of these in person before makes things hard.... Even if Nate gets his...at least I can look and see how it's made and go from there
