Those are them. I ordered some RC10 Buggy mounts on ebay. They have not arrived. I hope the fit.

What is the difference between what's pictured above, and these:

Can the truck mounts be used on the buggy?

short wheelbase - buggy mount

long wheelbase - truck mount

those 2 rpm mounts do what a stock pair of ae arm mount do all by themselves. the ae mounts have 2 sets of holes to move it front or back. the rpm mounts don't.

The AE parts fit. The ones I got had two holes. I used the longer wheel base holes. The truck is back running. I got new tires a few days ago to replace the 20 year old Rock hard Losi tires. I also orded some stealth shocks. The old Golds where completely shot. I used some losi 30wt oil in the stealths. They are nice and smooth. The truck really runs good now. I am afraid the RPM plastic pan might snap. its very worn at the back where the trans mounts. I used to jump a speed bump in front of my house when I was a kid.

I am going to pick up a T4.1 Brushless RTR tomorrow. They are on sale. I will have an old RC10T and a new RC10T. The old one will go on a shelf and I can bash the new one and chase the dog in the back yard with out fear of breaking the RPM truck

Guys. I smashed the truck good today and ripped the front mount that supports the Body.

That mount screws to the front bulk head and then supports the parts where the body pins clip in. What is this part called? I would think its a body mount but that does not bring up anything in searching for the part.

Is this an RPM only part or will an AE part ft?

Thanks!

ebay is best bet. They are still around on some cyber hobby shops. Tower n longer lists it unless I missed it in my general search. My LHS has them hanging on the hooks yet in both rpm and associated.

You can still get bunches of rpm ones out there which unless you are keeping it stock for a reason I would go with an rpm one so you don't have to replace it again.

Thanks todd. There is none on ebay. I would love to get an RPM version. The entire truck is RPM except for a few parts. If you can get me one, I will gladly paypal you some money for it. Otherwise, I guess I will just keep looking.
