That’s the same kit I would have recommended.

I’m not sure how hard it is to find a nose piece, buggy or truck. This might sound blasphemous, but the Traxxas Bandit / Ruslter Bulkhead (TRX 2530) might be a solution. That is a bulkhead with kick up built in. I just narrowed one down to adapt it to Trx3 / SCT width. The hinge pins are tight between truck / worlds and buggy width .

Might be a path

That kit would be best if you’re running street stock. Most of the tracks I’ve raced at require center mount battery. I’ve run my Rayborn LTO RC10 versus the modern stuff with some success. My tub RC10 has done very well versus the RC10B4s! I’m actually back after a two year break and building my RC10 back up for loose dirt. It’s a lot of fun running old stuff against the younger guys! The older folks love seeing what I brought to the track. I even had some give me some of the old parts they had laying around. Good luck!
