TEAM ASSOCIATED RC8B4e 1/8 SCALE BUGGY
The RC8B4e 1/8 4WD off-road electric buggy kit from Team Associated has been redesigned for top-notch off-road racing performance. It features various enhancements including updated battery configurations, front and rear suspension arms, chassis braces, and rear hub design. The front-end geometry has been improved for increased stability and consistent steering. The chassis offers two battery configuration options: using two 2s shorty "saddle pack" batteries for low center of gravity and weight bias, or using one 4s shorty battery for simplified setup and centralized weight bias. The front and rear suspension arms allow for flexibility and stiffness adjustments, with optional inserts available. The rear arms have a one-piece anti-roll bar link for simplified assembly, and the rear wing has been strengthened and optimized for aerodynamics. Overall, this 1/8 scale electric buggy is ready to tear up the track.

"One of my favorite features on the RC8B4e is that it is a specifically designed 1:8 electric buggy. What this means is a unique electronic layout that allows for a more balanced vehicle from corner to corner with a lower center of gravity. This has significantly improved drivability and handling features to get the most out of your race car." —Spencer Rivkin
