I converted my T4 FT to SC10 a year ago. Parts lists are available and not cheap unless you get them used on eBay. List price of parts is over $200. I was able to get them on eBay for $110.

Short list:
1) Chassis w/nurf bars
2) Front Spindles (same as b4 not T4)
3) Front shock tower (front bumper mounts not on T4 tower)
4) Body mounts (kit)
5) Battery hold down
6) Rear shock tower (body mount holes not on T4 tower)
7) Motor guard
8) Bumpers
9) some screws are different.

The transmission is different between the T4 and the SC10 to accomodate the gear diff bearing size. I used the T4 system which bolts into the chassis just fine. The list above is for an older T4. I expect that the newer kits may have commonized parts. My T4 FT kit had the SC10 motor guard already. I think the Shock towers are starting to become common but you'll have to check your kits.

Yes ShortCourseOnly is correct you will need these additional parts for the conversion. Also I would run the T4 CVD kit in the SC10 as well.

I run the T4 CVD. Most of my SC10 is converted to FT parts. I do not have the V2 shocks, V2 slipper, or the new CVAs. Otherwise I am all Factory Team. The truck runs great especially after I added 1.5 oz of weight. I plan to add additional weight near the shock tower.

when looking i could see that 100% of the parts would not have to be changed (to me anyway) thats why i asked if anyone had done it here. thanks for the info. it seems like something i will look into. is the trans the same ratio?
