I'm having similar issues finding stuff for my 1/32 DT and 1/24 MSCT. Ebay is where I find most things for it. Losi discontinued most of their smaller mini/micro lineup and parts are getting hard to find. Odd the only one they brought back was the Mini-T recently as the Mini-T 2.0 with a brushed and brushless version.

Yeah I picked this up at the pawn shop here and I wanted to buy a bigger motor but wanted to find some aluminum upgrades first cause it’s mostly plastic. If I’m not mistaken some of the mini t parts will fit my rc but I’m new to the hobby and finding which parts that fits is a headache. Lol

Guessing not too many parts are shared/compatible as the drivetrain and whatnot is completely different. 4wd vs 2wd.

Looks to be more comparable to the Mini 8ight-T and Mini 8ight buggy. Just different body and stuff.

Ok thanks for the help buddy I’ll go check those parts out now. I wish I could help you find parts. I hope you find what your looking for?

The 1/14 Mini Desert Truck shares parts with the Vaterra Kalahari, Vaterra Kamora and the Losi 1/14 Rally. Also some of the parts from the Mini 8ight will fit like the diffs, gearboxes, hubs, stub axles, motor mount, the Mini 8ight steering bellcrank(the Mini 8ight T and Mini 8ight DB use a different bellcrank so not sure if it will fit or not) and a few other odds and ends.

Some of these are just way overpriced in my honest opinion but these are the ones I can easily find.
Front caster blocks for the Kalahari https://www.ebay.com/itm/Vaterra-VT...706533?hash=item5b48e0a7e5:g:oHYAAOSwdppepBg7
Front suspension mounts https://www.ebay.com/itm/Vaterra-VT...575310&hash=item2c89b819b7:g:u9QAAOSwyedfWJeb
Rear suspension mounts https://www.ebay.com/itm/Vaterra-VT...568237&hash=item467e960aad:g:nq0AAOSwrHNepBg~
Front cvds https://www.ebay.com/itm/Vaterra-VT...923395&hash=item521ab01c1d:g:81gAAOSwvGFcpn5v
Rear cvds https://www.ebay.com/itm/Vaterra-VT...041655&hash=item521ab01c0e:g:kFYAAOSwejNcpn5f
Rear hubs https://www.ebay.com/itm/Vaterra-VT...462999&hash=item5b559036bf:g:AtQAAOSw~TdctIV6
I cannot find any front axle carriers specifically for the Kalahari but I did find some Hot Racing ones for the Mini 8ight https://www.ebay.com/itm/273593045520
Exotek carbon fiber top plate https://www.ebay.com/itm/Exotek-Rac...383372&hash=item4d692570f3:g:C7gAAOSwU4FaKBSS
Hot Racing makes steel spurs this one is 48p so you will have to source a new pinion SOFE858 https://www.ebay.com/itm/Hot-Racing...895514&hash=item4aebbeeb34:g:KZEAAOSwRjtZuuFc
This one is mod 0.5 so you can still use the stock pinion https://www.ebay.com/itm/Hot-Racing...687630&hash=item28aaca9d1c:g:xX0AAOSwRRpgQDZM

Mini 8ight parts are going to dry up soon since Losi discontinued all of the 1/14 stuff, diff parts are basically like hens teeth right now.

If you have any questions let me know.
