Description
"Awesome car! Couple tips would be to consider purchasing extra pillow ball shims to get your camber to what you like. Also make sure to put a lot of O-ring grease in the shock bottoms to keep shocks from leaking. Other than that the buggy drives great and I have no complaints!" - Drew - Verified Owner
High Performance 1:8 RC Race Buggy!
The Team Associated RC8B4e Team 1/8 4WD Off-Road Electric Buggy Kit is designed to push the limits of off road racing. This buggy has been given a huge overhaul and features updated battery configurations, front upper and lower arm design, rear arm design, chassis braces and rear hub design for peak performance. The front-end geometry has also received updates allowing for increased stability and more consistent steering through the entire steering throw. All of these features come together for a buggy that is ready to dominate the track.
About the RC8B4e
Battery Configurations
The chassis allows for one of two configurations, Two 2S or One 4S. Using two 2S packs, you can run a "saddle pack" style and have the lowest CG and exceptional weight bias. Using one 4S allows for a more simplified setup and allows for a more centralized weight distribution.
Front Suspension
The front upper and lower suspension arms have been designed to accommodate a wide range of flex and stiffness options. Optional inserts have been made to provide extreme fine tuning and will work with the upper or lower arm. The lower arm features a one-piece anti-roll bar link mounts that are in-line with the anti-roll bar for simplified assembly and operation.
Rear Suspension
The rear arms have been designed for optimum flex and stiffness with no inserts. However, optional inserts may be used for fine tuning. The rear arms also feature a one-piece anti-roll bar link is mounted in-line with the anti-roll bar with a BHCS instead of a shock pin for simplified assembly.
