:?: The 10T front end will bolt on to your tub , if thats what you were trying to ask. If your buggy is a 6 gear and has the short trac arms, theres wide track arms that will replace your short trac arms.

If your going to run your rc10, I'd honestly paint it with rattle can paint. Cheap and you can always strip it down and do it over and over :D

Thanks tuna.i have two ten's as of yesterday.the graphite i owned since new that has a stealth and a gold tub i got yesterday.the goldie has a 6gear not sure yet if i will change it to run brushless or run a 12turn brushed motor with the 6 gear.but i want a wider track i also want to run buggy wheel from the original setup.today i am going to look at 2 more rc10's for sell so i will have more options on how to go with it.should i look for the same year range rc10t for the wide track? Will the buggy wheels work? Sorry for so many questions. :D ok and one more the truck arms are wider then the buggys right?
