RC10 GT ftont and rear on gold pan?

Post by Bakauata »

There's a guy here selling an RC10GT front and rear (but nothing else).
The front end looks complete, mounted on front plate and including steering, suspension, shocks, shock towers and wheels, etc.
The rear includes suspension, shocks, stealth transmission, wheels, etc, but shock tower seems strange and maybe broken, and the spur gear is mounted on a "slipper clutch" device I have not seen before.

I was thinking of buying this for a couple of parts I need, but I have a few questions:

1) Are these parts compatible with the RC10 gold pans and Team Cars I have? Specifically the front and rear wheel hub ball bearings, pins (or screws) for mounting the shock on the arm, steering knuckles and front stub axles?
2) Is the stealth transmission on this truck simply a regular stealth transmission mounted on backward so the motor is mid-mount?
3) If the transmission casing is different to a regular stealth, are the internals (gears, bearings, diff) at least interchangeable?
4) would I be able to mount the whole front plate and rear suspension onto a gold pan and have the base for a truck? I could use the transmission and rear motor mount from buggy spares I have.

These are things I haven't been able to determine from forum posts. What I have gathered is that the front shocks are different to buggy fronts and rears, and of course none of the drive shafts, turnbuckles, A arms, etc would be compatible with a buggy since they are a different length.

Thanks.
Chris

1- mostly yes
2- no, its different
3- top shaft and maybe idler gear only. Not diff
4- mostly yes, the rear bulkhead and shock tower are different
