I'm pretty sure the only difference between the dual engine and the single is the chassis plate and the parts attached to it like the throttle linkage and such. The Giga is a pretty old platform, idk how parts availability is. I've tried searching for parts on occasion to find the really cool air cleaner hoodscoop and not many parts show up at all. I'd try going to amain and other sites and search for Giga Crusher parts to see what's out there. Older Kyosho stuff isn't always very easy to find though.

I have just invested in the sf and would be cool to change it over to the df !! Im hoping that the chassis will be the same and it be just the case of moving it about abit..

Thanks for the reply and I manged to find a supplier after hours of searching Google think they where based in spain ?? Forgot now but have ordered a couple new things for it already.

Had a look for a new shell and they range in the 100 pound mark !!!

Well if you have a SF just look at the chassis or motor plate and see if it's drilled for another engine. If it's not you can just drill yours to accept another engine. You may have to make a linkage if you can't find one. There's a guy Byronthunder something who knows quite a bit about older Kyosho trucks who may be able to help out too
