I have just ordered the Toylander plans from eBay for a 2004 project and am curious about the 'best' electric motors and gearboxes to use
Has anyone got any success stories from building their own ?

No however Dad is scrapping a sit on Lawn mover which has a chain driven rear axle with some sort of diff assembley and the same wheels and tyres as the toylander. When I get it dissasembled I'll try to look out the make etc.
I could also do with a crash course in the relevant motors and required electrickery gizmos to prevent the kids hurtling down the road at Mach 2
I'm planning on building my own .. probably a series 1 as the lines are so much simpler...buy I also would like a play with fibreglass so may make multiple bodies....101 even :-)

ISTR that old 12 generators can be used as motors.

I'm just taking a break from the final touches to the conservatory....thats right the one I started in...er....May?... I forget... anyway should be able to progress some work on the fleet this year :-) Percy is only one door and about 20 hours prep away from a coat of paint... In my world of free time that should bring me out about mid summer :-)
But now you mention it. a Dredd would be well worth doing and all the pain of making the mold too...h'mmm ... another seed planted me thinks... and given that it woulb be effectivley sat on a 101 GS...thats two birds so to speak :-)
