[mvelarde890]

so im dusting off my old rc10gt and i started to buy new parts for it. i ordered some proline tires and some new rims only to find out that the rims wont fit cause of the old 1/4 axles. my question is, is there an adapter for this? or can i swap out the axles? if so can you provide me with a link or any info on how to find what i need? anything will help!

Are you using dogbones or universals? If dogbones, the conversion kit that associated makes for the rere would be perfect. Associated 6802

Don't forget 4 bearings as well. I think they would be 3/8 x 3/16 x 1/8. You can get them from acer or protech/amain.
I know this is obvious but it would be one of those doh moments when you realize you forgot to make that change as well.

and the crush tubes. And roll pins. Thats why I posted the kit with all of it included
