I'm with Andrew here. 4-channel transmitter/receiver wouldn't be terribly hard to find at a hobby shop, and neither would the speed controllers, though they'd likely be for R/C aircraft. Motors? Match the one(s) in the vehicle and get two or three more. The wheels are the hard part. It is quite possible to have them that small, but it'll cost you to get them made or to make them yourself.

Once you have the materials, just remove the electronics you don't need and put in the new ones...

And thinking more about the Mecanums at that small size, how tough do they have to be? Its not like Tyus' where he was going to use them on a battlebot, if this is just for driving around a room somewhere would just having them printed and then using test tube cappers (the rubber ones)

Or would http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/sh...light=Mecanums work?

There is really nothing stopping people from making small mecanums...
