The Team Associated RC8 B3.2e Team 1/8 4WD Off-Road Electric Buggy Kit takes a proven platform and prepares to add to the portfolio of victories. No stone has gone unturned when considering the makeup of the RC8B3.2e. The geometry of the suspension has been critically analyzed to determine improved areas of performance, resulting in a redesigned suspension arm with inserts to adjust flex characteristics and keep dirt out. The combination of a longer rear suspension arm, narrower suspension arm mounts and an overall wider rear track width has proven to increase driver comfort, consistency and speed.
Updated shock caps allow the RCB3.2e to be run in two different configurations: As emulsion type with the bleeder screw and seal, or bladder type with the included stiff bladders, or optional traditional bladders (not included). The side guards have also been improved by changing the attachment method to flat head countersunk screws that thread into the chassis from the top of the buggy. This increases the durability of the side guard while improving alignment to the chassis.
