Hey guys, this is my first post here.
I wanted to know a bit about the SS Monster trucks. I can't seem to find out where to buy any, or what ones to buy.I think there are two different types, as I would like the smallest one. If you guys could help me out here it would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,
Kel

As far as I know, the smaller ones (1:43) are out of production. The larger ones (1:24) are still available at Toys R Us for either $14.99 or $19.99, but either way they are a great deal. It's fairly easy to drop an iWaver board in there and have a proportional 4x4 monster truck. They are much better suited to crawlers than bashers, though.

The first SSMT (1/43rd) was a dysfuntional little guy. Good platform for a project, but not sure they're worth seeking out on their own.

I plan to use the parts of the 1/43 for a project, so I do not need any electronics. If any pimps have any old chassis they would sell, let me know.

As far as I know, they are only discontinued in the US. There's this person on Scale4x4rc.us that's in Canada, and buying them in bulk to sell to US people.

That's one way to get them. Try other boards and EBay as well, you'll probably find a few hits.

I suspect you want to use them for the axles?

Ya, I had no luck on ebay, so I will look into buying them from the 4x4 forum. and Ya, the axels are the main focus for my project, and the 1/43 is the only thing that has them.
