The long about way of getting an RC-10T

Got this in the mail today. RC-10 buggy converted to a truck. The rear RPM arms say truck but are shorer than regular RC-10T ams. This leads me to believe hey are pre 1991. Also has RPM rear carriers for Losi as well as mdifed Losi slidder axles. Then the A stamp chassis was drlled out and a Stealth tranny with lite-sink motor plate were installed. The whels are offset all the way on the inside. Pretty cool vintage build.

Pretty neat. I'm working on a JG truck from the same pre-RC10T era. Your front tower is JG in case you were wondering...wheels I think are Prolines. Mind taking some pin to pin measurements for the arms? I know the fronts are shorter than Worlds arms and the rears are longer but it's always more helpful to know exact measurements.

The rear arms actually came with unique rear hub carriers and called for the use of Yokomo rear universals. There's a pair of the hubs on eBay...I'll PM you a link.

The fronts are 2 1/2 long overall and 2 1/4 from center pin to center pin. The rears are 3 3/8 from end to end and 3 1/8 from center of pin to center of pin.

Very cool. J remember these when I was a kid. What was the benefit of the sliders? And how durable were they?
