mini mad monkey.
 

hi, my girlfriend wants a micro buggy, i no what you guys/girls will say, get a shark :) i have tried but she wants something no one as.so we have come to the idea of converting a annsman mad monkey then putting a phat black jack sc shell on it,i dont no if any one as done the conversion, is so what where the problems.

i wonder if i could get away with using TC5 rear arms on front and back with the mad monkeys front and rear hubs,and would i get away with using TC5 driveshafts?

as for shock towers i will have to make them to fit a set of big bore shocks i have knocking about.

any help will be grateful:thumbsup:

looked at this idea when it came out, Its alot of potch really. It be far cheaper to convert a mini t as you can pic a Pro up for 50quid from dms and there awsome cars anyway. Actually thinking of trying to make a kit to sell but in ealry idea stage so far. But Mad monkey will have to take shorter chassie for a start. Most liky need an 8th scale style chassie milled up. but big problems would be rear cvd's. I'm sure there'll be some wishbones out there some where but as a kit you'd need bearing kit, Shell, Shocks cvd's and shock mounts. all adds up. where as you'll pretty much just need to turn a mini t rear end backwards and lengthen chassie and your done. much cheaper in ever sence, even for spares ;)

cheers for getting back to me :thumbsup:

i have had a word with Si (mrspeedy) and he thinks it could be a very good little car, we no the chassis will need shortening as well as triming at the sides, as for driveshafts, i can use the standard MM rear hubs and use the TC5 driveshafts joined at the CVDs.

women for ya lol :lol:

one thing to note is that tc5 drive shafts will not go through the annsmann hubs different bearing size
you d have to use b4 hubs rear but tc5 wishbones should be fine too but a bit or dremeling and drilling out as the hinge pins are bigger diameter (ansmann vrs associated)
front wise the front hubs are proberly better as its a straight 12mm hex
my advice is if you ve got the time and patience go for it:thumbsup::thumbsup:

, as for driveshafts, i can use the standard MM rear hubs and use the TC5 driveshafts joined at the CVDs.

the mm axles are a different fitment vrs the ae ones be aware although saying that they could work. not 100%more likek 90%

cheers for letting me no about the driveshaft :D
yea i love the front on them, and i have got the time and patience, just will have to do it faster before she decides to take my shark:thumbdown:

will get a up and closer look at a MM at next meeting we are at :)

LOL im not gonna take your shark, it took me long enough to persuade you to get it in the first place lol

After having at look at some pics I would say nearly everything you need to build a micro is in the kit !!

Its just needs a bit of modifying !!

:D:thumbsup: i think as to be done :thumbsup::D
