I tried getting a little creative.

I ran the "air supply" motors a few times with various labels...

Black tub "sport kit" GT. Bottom of the line for the time. Looks to be in decent shape. That battery placement is...unique.

With the exception of the better servo saver (on the GT) the front is identical to a 10T.

The rear arms, carriers, and bones interchange as well.

Bottom load 1.02 shocks were never made. At least, not that type. Newer V2's were a bottom load design but are a little more modern design. I did run into a pair of 1.02 bottom load bodies, gold anodized. They weren’t available on any kit but were an add on. I’ll have to see if I can fin them on an...

You say that you have some GT shocks, why not use them?

This is a set that I just stripped and polished.
I also had some aluminum caps laying around, so I did them as well.

I always wanted an RC10 but had a JrXT. I liked the look of those old buggys a lot. Grats on getting them.

Here's four lengths of the bottom load shock bodies.
.56, .71, 1.02, 1.32.

Use the Factory Works / Vintage RC / RPM front tower. It has the correct geometry for a buggy and more room for the body.

Here is one of mine, with Dynotech arms and the Factory Works/RPM front tower. That is a JConcepts Detonator Worlds body. It and the regular Detonator bodies have a recessed section on the front that trims perfectly with the RPM tower. Screenshot_20220924_214710_Samsung Internet.jpg This is another ...

just curious, rpm arms front and rear or just front? great looking buggies by the way I just used the fronts. Niki used some RPM Traxxas arms on the rear of his but used some 3D parts and a mixture of other pieces. Both of my cars above have Andy's rear arms on them, with Factory Works hex adapters.

I went with 12mm big bore shocks.

Their tires are in and out of stock. I suspect that they do small batches. If you really want some, I'd message them in regards to the next batch.

With the transition to indoor racing (clay/carpet) there's unfortunately a lot less demand for ribbed front tires. Jconcepts Carvers is the only racing tire currently being produced, with the JC Racing Products Double Ups as a possible alternative. Don't know if they're out of production or just wai...
