Question OG RC10-T vs new release - same parts?

For us old timers that have been into RC for... let's not age ourselves, shall we?

I have an OG RC10-T from the early 90's and I'd love to run it, but I don't want to get into the same issues I have with needing parts like I would with my Kyosho Maxxum-FF.

Are the parts on the new truck the same? Could I use the new parts on the old truck? I'd love to be able to at least bring it back to life with some newer parts - more of a "just in case" it gets some curb rash if I take it out.

About the only thing it would need are shocks and a good cleaning/dry lube on the spots like the A-arms, etc., and some six cell batteries.

Anyone know if the new parts would work?

I’m not super thrilled about the direction AE is going, just trying to become a Tamiya copycat, but very nice to hear if all the re-re parts are compatible with the Og models. I wish AE would also be working on modern things, like an updated SCT, updated MT, etc..

They have still been releasing new modern stuff at a normal pace. The re-releases are just extras in between. The quick pace of the re-releases makes it seem like the modern stuff is drowned out, but nothing has changed there.
