Silver chassis is a 1/8 Serpent (but I don't know what model).

The one on the left looks like a Duratrax, not Kyosho.

left is from a Kyosho Burns, looks like the special BSW7 chassis. If it is countersunk, that should prove it

That's right, I confused it with this one...Duratrax is known for copying Kyosho parts. Evader outdrives and I believe front steering blocks are almost identical to Kyosho parts.

Thanks Guys. How do I tell if it is countersunk? Don't know much about these, when I collected my cars were mostly Tamiya. I got these when I bought out the inventory of a closing hobby shop.

This information is very helpful. The Kyosho chassis came in the original bag but no header card, based on the info you guys gave me, I remembered a loose header card I came across the other day. I dug it up and it is for the BS-61 Main Chassis, which is for the Turbo Burns. Also the holes are countersunk.
