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.
