Yes, I would replace the rear axles on this car, you can still use them as is but your suspension is probably not working as it should. This should do:
Can I replace w these parts? Should I make the changeover? I do have quite a few tires and rims for the car.
Yes - if you have handy spares, replace the worn-out parts. Such chewed-up axles prevent the suspension from working properly.
I'd totally tear that car down for a full , patient rebuild if I were you.

Your particular car however looking at the picture has been modified for rpm 'worlds' arms. They are no longer available, but you can find replacements but they won't look the same.
By arms are you referring to a -arms? Are the front packaged arms in the pic correct for rc10? What would the benefit of changing the arms be? Would it be w something old and stock off ebay or an updated part?

The front arms in the package you are showing are the "original" arms for the Stealth car.
What you have on both the front and rear end of your buggy are RPM front arms. The best way I can explain it is to refer you to this thread:
I wouldn't put the stock NIP bags on your car because you have a narrow front truck bulkhead now, and the overall track would be too narrow.

these are harder to find parts now, so there is some worth in them, depending on how worn out they are. Even better as a nostalgia and collector piece. What I was saying is if you run them and break them, you can actually still get replacements, but not like the originals, because RPM no longer makes them.
your biggest issue with be that 2.0 or 2.1" tires are not easy to find other than NOS like or ebay or such. So your best bet is to convert to 2.2" wheels, and for your application with the 1/4" axles, JC racing of the UK sells direct fit 5 spoke wheels. http://www.jcracingproducts.co.uk/rc10
check all this info out and then ask any questions you might have. Also take some of these key words and search around, there is a TON of info.
well today i thought it would be nice to tear apart the RC10 and clean everything and even try to whiten it up. I took a bowl of hot water and mixed in a few scoops of oxy clean. wow did that work awesome! all the dirt and grime literally just fell...

The Ones I have are Associated RC10 GT Front A-Arms,I want the white rc10t originals...
Has anyone had a Rc10 with a buggy body? I remember seeing a pic of one in the forums but I cant find it again. If so what pieces are needed?
Last post
yes- minus King Cab which used a hex wheel instead of the wide 5 style hub. IIRC the offset was a bit weird on those as well. For the traditional Tamiya wide 5 wheels like Blackfoot series, lunchbox series, etc you just need the rear wheel adapters,...
Let's say hypothetically(spelling please) i was able to land an RC10 Graphite, and wanted to convert it into a Truck, what kind of CVDs can I use when I install rear RC10t arms??
Is it at all possible to do this conversion??
Has anyone on here...

Ok so I'm scrapping this Idea, cause there's no way I'm gonna cut off a graphite chassis, for one, and I'm not going to be running a retarted looking truck with way too wide front suspension :roll:
i wanted to start this topic to give people ideas of what different bodies you can run on rc10 rc10t and rc10t2.(kinda like the help topics, how to run new axles on old rc10). i was looking for some old builds of rc10s with bodies for rustler ,b3,...

my front mounts are stock and in the stock location on my 10t with t3 body.
