Make sure you take lots of pictures and describe them accurately, and you will do well. Have a look and see what they are going for by using ebay's advanced search feature. Select the "completed listings only" option to see what recently sold items like your Rough Rider have sold for. For the Rough Rider, expect get $500 or more for a good one, and maybe around $200 for the Scorcher body. The UK is a very active market for collectable Tamiya items like the ones you have.

You can also make your own by purchasing stick pack sized cells, arranging them in a hump pack shape, and soldering them together to form the pack. You can use heat shrink wrap to keep it all together. Here is a hump pack on ebay fashioned in that way <a href="http://cgi.ebay.com/NEW-ELIMINATOR-MPE-7-2V-NI-CD-HUMP-PACK-BATTERY-NIP_W0QQitemZ390035487487QQihZ026QQcategoryZ34061QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem" target="blank" rel="nofollow">here</a>.
