They will not fit the older axles without some modding. I am currently working on that for my A&L build.

If it is paddles you want and they are 1.5 Tammies, those will go nicely on the original three piece associated rims.

No, those enable you to fit hex drive wheels onto just about anything - even the RC10.

You need a set of these http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/CRP-1560-Rear-Wheel-Adapters-RC10-to-Truck_W0QQitemZ180164783803QQihZ008QQcategoryZ34063QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
Yes, that's them.

top left on the tree is for a losi ( jrx2, jrxt, etc.). the bottom left on the tree is for the rc10 1/4" rear axles. bottom right is tamiya.

All the hexes are the same size. They are designed for the HPI Super Star truck wheels which have a standard 12mm hex, but those wheels have a 5mm hole in the centre which is why the hexes have the extra ring moulded into the front.

Doesn't Tower charge flat rate shipping regardless of size, for like $8.99 or something similar..... if that is the case, it pretty much a wash.
I am not here cause I am playing photographer and on my mountain bike.
