  1. What do you do when there's only 2 Workshop Sundays left until Revival, your Revival cars aren't finished, you've already got a scaler chassis project on the workbench, and you're out of money for the month? That's right - you start another scaler project! To be fair, I have my reasons for doing this right now. First, I had to get all my Element Enduro parts out of storage to get started on the Ford Raptor race truck (see other thread), so everything is easily accessible right now; second, if I get this to somewhere near finished it can go on a display shelf somewhere instead of going back in the box as a pile of parts to maybe come out again someday in the distant future; and finally, because I actually have no need for this truck at all, but my daughter likes the colour, so she's going to have it. If she's going to start driving a full-size crawler rig in the woods and maybe join me on some proper events later in the year, I'd rather she has a proper capable crawler and not some cheap RTR that I'll have to tow over all the hardest obstacles. And my reasons for that reason are also manifold: 1) when I was a kid I often had to settle for second best, and I often struggled to compete with inferior hardware, so I want my daughter to not be held back by stuff that isn't up to the job, and 2) having inferior hardware became a go-to excuse for not achieving stuff, and I want my daughter to know that the truck isn't letting her down, and if she keeps trying and keeps learning, she'll be able to do anything I can do with my trucks. All of this assumes she ever actually drives it. Sometimes I think she says she wants these things just to please me Anyway - what is this build all about? Well, it's a nuts-and-bolts build of all the Enduro parts I've got left over after making a 6x6 and a Raptor race truck out of 2 Scale Builder's Kits and a Trailrunner RTR. Let's get started with the chassis. I believe this was the SBK2 chassis, because it has the SBK2-style shock towers. It's been sitting in a box like this since the middle of last year. This was supposed to be a nuts-and-bolts build, but already it's throwing curve-balls. First ball is the servo mount. The SBK2 servo mount was used in the 6x6, this is an SBK1-style mount. Note the ribs next to the screw holes. The SBK2 shock hoops don't have the panhard rod mount moulded into them, instead the panhard rod goes onto an adjustable part that mounts in the chassis rail. Nuts are supposed to sit where those ribs are. So, I had to cut and file them off. SBK2 panhard rod mounting bracket. Now fitted alongside the SBK1 servo mount. This will come back to haunt us later. I used custom links for the 6x6, so I had a full set of SBK2 cranked links left over. The wheelbase is the same as the Trailrunner, which is convenient because I want to use the Trailrunner body. Front axle now fitted.
  2. Hi Guys I have basically a mint Kyosho Terrano and a mint Kyosho 4Runner. Both are the electric versions and 100% complete. I am thinking of selling them as I am clearing out my collection. What will be a realistic price for them. The Terrano still have its original box and manual as well. Regards and thanks for the help. Jakes
