Easy one that. Rear arm mounts are by far the most sought after spares, everything else is fairly indestructible.
White ball cups, rear bulkhead, front caster blocks, front arm mounts, idler gears and gearbox outputs. The new rear bulkhead is an easy way to make an RC10 lipo compatible without hacking up an original one. Nose plate, the screw threads holding it to the chassis wear out but it depends on the price as the $30 price from Associated means you are just as likely to source a period correct one instead of buying a new one. The same with chassis, people might be interested in a new replacement but again Associated have priced it at $72. Steering assembly wears pretty quickly, but anyone planning on racing would be more likely to get the A&L ballraced steering arms. Dogbones are easy to lose, but again ubless you have to run as spec you will replace them with MIP CVDs that are still being made for it
Both Protech and Viper bodies, the Viper is correct for later CE cars that anyone racing would be using, but a lot prefer the Mirage shells from Bluegroove instead. RC10 rear wings and wire wing mounts and wing buttons are usually missing on old cars, while the wing wire and buttons can be easily found elsewhere the wing itself is pretty unique for the early cars.
