Recommended Posts

Just got it in the mail:

Hopefully still working.. the 'infamous' CCVT

Is this really a mechanical baffle in the silencer? if so i think it is really cool

I guess it was a 4 runner

Broken panhard rod (again really cool stuff) - and i think the diff is busted too and it needs the spring retainer and a spring :D

A cooling fan..

Yup - lots of parts missing -im gonna start by seeing if the engine will still run

been thinking about the body - it's gotta be a scale body though but maybe ill just put one of those t-maxx bodies on it for now..

Sweet. If you have time, can you take a pic of the underside? I've always wondered what they looked like. :D

I think an Fj would look fantastic on that chassis.

update:

I found the main belt from sdp-si.com - it is a 75T, 6mm wide, 3mm pitch, 225mm pitch length belt. This is the one that connects the clutch bell to the CCVT. The original part number is S3M225 - it was made by MBL

The one that connects the CCVT to the center differential is 64T, 3mm pitch, 192mm pitch length, 6mm wide belt. The original part# was S3M192

I have the ball bearings on order (coming in today), rebuilt the shocks, etc.

The engine ran on Friday!!

Except it was leaking so badly from the crankshaft bearings (probably bushings actually). I may try to pop the bushings out and replace them with bearings as the rest of the motor is in decent shape.

But I do have a Kyosho GS11R to replace it with.

Still undecided on the body - it'd be awesome if a more scale tamiya/kyosho body would fit. Otherwise I'll just fit one of those Pro-Line or HPI monster truck/stadium truck bodies for now.

Progress:

I broke the original gearbox housing, but I've got some super plastic repair stuff that I can hopefully use to make it stronger than before.

Meanwhile I found these parts and they have just arrived:

New Old Stock Toyota 4Runner body. It's huge but the details aren't as impressive as I thought, the Tamiya Pajero/Isuzu mu/wrangler, etc. are definitely MUCH nicer. I love the size of the Kyosho body though.

I actually got it for 39 Euros + shipping to US. The CCVT gearbox cost me the most...

The shop actually still has a set of the plastic bits - maybe another body... http://www.modellbahn-pietsch.de/ - They are very helpful.

That Hilux looks nice! The 4Runner body isn't as nice as people make it out to be. I just like the proportions

Almost done!

Just waiting for a Hi-Torque servo for the CCVT gearbox and an exhaust deflector.
