RC10t front body mount

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.

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