DS conversion part list or kit?

Post by spider »

Some years ago I remember bookmarking a few pages I came across with the ds conversion kit for the rc10T. I somehow misplaced those bookmarks now 3 or 4 years later. Is there a parts list to do this conversion or is the kit still available on the market?
I am still very interested in doing this conversion as I have a few car bodies I would love to use on my rc10T.

There´s quite a few parts different from the truck.

New DS conversion kits comes up from time to time on ebay, expect to pay top dollar if You go that route.

In general, new DS parts are scarse, and costly.

Parts can be found but they are scarce. You may be better off finding a used example from eBay. Grab the manual from associated's website and give it a read.


In no particular order these parts are what is different:

Rear arms
Rear bones
Rear shock tower and short shocks
Rear Sway bar
Nose plate
Shock tower and shocks
Front arms and mounts
Front bumper
Front Sway bar
Tires wheels
Body
Nose tubes
Turnbuckles, and some hinge pins are different.
Some versions used a slipper eliminator

Thanks fellas, Is there any other car I can swap a-arms off to get this all to work out? Ive seen this some years ago, maybe 2011, and have been putting it off for some time. I really want to get the parma 67 camaro body on my rc10t. lol!

is the parma 67 camaro a 200mm body? If it's really wide, you might be able to use short arms and some parts from a tc3 or yr4 or some other kind of touring car. in other words, you might be able to do it, but it depends on the body and tires.

What about the Bolink / RJ Speed Camaro body, It would fit the DS.

I'm pretty sure the Parma body is 200mm, in which case will only fit a touring car.

All the bodies on my DS's are 200mm the only thing is you may have to move the rear axle forward middle or back depending on body..........................
