Those are cool little cars. I think I might have seen one smaller than them though. The car was a Mercedes Smart car and you can fit 3 of them into a normal sized matchbox! I will try and find the link. There is a video of it aswell but it is really poor quality, but it shows you the kind of speed and manouverability it has.

OK I got it. I think it's smaller aswell - it's 1/90th scale. The link below is a link to the Traxxas forums where I posted the link for this tiny car. Check it out:

I'm in contact with one of the guys in Germany now looking fo rinformation... his company make a lot of the parts for the 1/87 scale trucks....most of those guys are fabricating their own parts...
There are some speed controls made from the amp board of a small servo... and the receivers are just micro receiver used in slowflyer planes... the motors are Mabuchi M20s and smaller...and they fabricate their own gears and gearboxes..but the guy I'm talking to makes some amazing brass fron axle assemblies
and here is a 1/87 scale 4WD setup

The 4WD system....
all the parts can be gotten from www.tttt-parts.org and the electronics are from http://www.mikroantriebe.de/ but it's all in German and saved as a JPG so you can't translate it... but if you retype the words into altavista then you can
