If you are talking about an rc10, you have the option of getting all new plastics and rear axles from a couple places.(minus the transmission).

Transmissions and parts are still tough to source. If you are planning mid motor, a wise idea might be to find an rc10gt, and add an electric motor conversion plate, then buy a buggy front nose, arms and custom tower that accepts 1.02" shocks, buggy rear arms and axles, and a custom rear tower. You will also need buggy length turnbuckles.

Avid and Dhawk have B4 style input shafts.

Dynotech has original style idle gears.
Dhawk has aluminum re-re style idle gears.

Dhawk has aluminum diff gears.
Original diff gears are still on Ebay.

JC Racing has outdrives.
Dynotech has outdrives sometimes.
Always looking for new and interesting ways to waste money.
