I assume that most of us can relate.

This is a Traxxas carrier beside one from a 10T. They are the common 2WD version from the Stampede, Rustler, Slash, and others. It isn't perfect but could probably be made to work.

Unless you are just set on modifying what you have, I prefer the look of the JConcepts plate.

The machined edges and honeycomb milling are nice.

Fixed it for you

I use the newer style o rings on all of mine. https://www.ebay.com/itm/223894135343?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=xdS7aXRXSPK&sssrc=2349624&ssuid=rUKMRphWSMG&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY When you tighten them the first time, you might have to pu...

I guess I had CRP on the brain, as I was installing some of their stuff on a truck.

Nope. I just waste money buying stuff. I never try to recover any of it.

There is an adapter on Shapeways to use the Scorpion wheels.

My LHS has some. They want ~$12 a set.

I have one of the aluminum endbell versions but I already have a couple spare sets.

Got some 3D printed parts from Frankentruck, for my EGT build.
Also got a couple sets of Stadium Blitzer wheels for some other projects.

You're my hero.

I think that Frankentruck has a shock tower that fits more like a 10T that might work.

I'm using a JConcepts T5M body on mine.

Frankentruck also made this battery holder for stick packs. Those are 16X190 battery straps.

This is the JConcepts T5M body, rough cut and fitted on mine. This is the same body used on their short lived EGT conversion kit. Screenshot_20220805-142131_Gallery.jpg Screenshot_20220805-142147_Gallery.jpg The front body posts aren't the correct angle but are usable. I'm going to use 2" unive...
