Very familiar with the Bay.
Yeah I pretty much found everything I needed. Got a nice clean shocktower and some wheels/tires from greazy.
Thanks for the research though.

Digging through the bargin bin at my LHS I found these wheels for a total of $3. I see that the rears fit but the fronts seem like they need a different size bearing. Anyone know the bearing size?

Now I need some new tires.

Question.

I decided to use the original RC10 shocks and use the Duratrax ones on a later build. They are in decent shape but one is leaking. I want to rebuild the shocks, will these work with the old shocks?

That rebuild kit would work as long as the shocks you have load the seals internally, there also a AE tool at like a 1$ that makes removal and insertion of the seals easier.
