RC10t front body mount

[Luckyracing]

I just scored an RC10t off of fleabay, and I am having a hard time locating a new front body mount, 7318. Does something supercede this part, or is there a reasonable priced alternative? 12-20 bucks for this little piece doubles the value of the truck!

RPM makes a 10T/T2 mount, still may be discoed...but the stock mounts used rare and pricey.

it all depends on what you're plans are for your truck. if you're building it up new i would just keep my eyes constantly peeled for a new one. you could get lucky and find one new for cheap.

but if you're building something reasonable, or to run, it's best to get one used from flea-bay's chop shops. most of the time they're in great to excellent condition that could pass for new, and they're dirt cheap! here's a couple i found quickly...

Thanks for the info! The second ebay link was exactly what I was looking for. I am building a runner, although I don't have time to campain a race season I really love the indoor track not to far from the house and wanted to have something to run around it when I had the free time. (South Jersey indoor is the track, btw. Awesome facality and bunch of folks down there) I am really torn between building an OIN buggy with the "pieces" of rc10t I got on fleabay or just putting it together as a truck. I have a gold pan I restored 3 years ago that is mostly a shelfer, not perfect but in "as beaten in childhood" form. The track has a huge triple that I dare not tempt fate in taking with my 27 year old rolling memory.

The upright parts are still available new from shops in black only, the bottom angled mount is ebay find mate.

For my runner I found and am using an aluminum version

the bottom angled mount is ebay find mate.

They are current production from at least one maker (GPM). Alloy, though.
