Help with RC10GT rear arm question

Post by blubblood »

I have an RC10 and a truck body. I'd like to widen the rear track so I don't have to butcher the body. Can I just swap in RC10GT rear arms and dogbones? Will the mounting blocks and uprights from the RC10 fit the RC10T rear arms? I have Andy's wide arms on the front. Also, will Dual Sport front arms replace the standard RC10 front arms?

Thx for any help.

I'm a little confused and I don't want to be judgmental, but it sounds like you're creating a mess for yourself. If you have a buggy and you want to make it a truck, then yes,the rear arms from a 10T/ GT will fit right onto the buggy rear suspension mounts. This will effectively make the rear of your buggy a 10T truck. I don't know why you would use DS parts on the front. The cheapest and easiest way to convert the front over to a truck would be to use the truck conversion front axle/steering knuckle. Are you trying to use parts you already have, or are you trying to plan on what to buy to convert your buggy to a truck?

Not sure what you are planning, but the front parts will fit in 10t arms.

Ds arms need a DS nose plate and unique front arm mounts. Truck arms need truck mounts, they are wider than buggy mounts and the nose plate is also a different width.

I think DS arms are narrower than buggy arms also.

Sorry for the confusion, talking about 2 different cars. I was looking at DS front arms on a Trackmaster conversion chassis. I don't like the RC10 front arms and was wondering if they were interchangeable. Still looking for short RPM or Andy's fronts. The other chassis is getting the Andy's wide fronts and 10T rears.

Thx.
