How to convert your RC10B74/74.1/74.1D into a T74 Truggy

Want to try out a 1/10 Truggy in the Associated Electric flavor? I've always wanted a 4wd 1/10 Truck from AE, however they never came to light. With the release of the B74, that changed my game from waiting, to doing. The B74 chassis is perfect for this conversion and can be done with little effort.

Now the undertaking is not for those looking to save their wallet. The conversion is not cheap, but if you'd like extra parts for your B74 or T6, the conversion can be beneficial. Again though, it all depends on what classes you run.

Overall the cost to convert is about ~$400. Most of the parts are from AE themselves. The only custom parts you need are as follows:

Sway Bar Extension: Product Page

Front Arms: Product Page

Front & Rear Shock Towers: Front Towers Rear Towers

CVA Shims: Product Page

Many others like to take the ET410 front arms and modify them to fit the B74 Caster Blocks. VelocityRC sells these if you prefer them.

 Otherwise you'll need the Darter Design Arms. They are 3D printed and pretty tough. Not as tough as a molded arm, but for not needing to hack at them yourself, the price can't be beat. Plus, clean is fast!

As for the other parts, they are mostly AE parts. The only NON-AE parts I used were the Body and Wheels/Tires. Everything else was AE.

A quick summary of parts needed from AE:

T6 Rear Arms

91mm Rear CVAs

66mm Rear CVA Axles

T6 Turnbuckles

T6 Shocks Front & Rear
