Team Associated RC8B3 Team Kit 1/8th nitro buggy

Following a first teaser Team Associated have released the full details in their all-new RC8B3 1/8th scale nitro off-road buggy. Completely designed from the ground up the buggy builds on a hard-anodised 7075-T6 aluminium chassis designed for optimum weight distribution, ground clearance, and better overall handling. As a result, the buggy is meant to change directions faster, and to be more compliant and stable in rough terrain. The RC8B3 has also received an updated suspension that features a pillow-ball front upright for maximum steering and durability. Refined 16mm Big Bore hard-anodised aluminium threaded shocks and 3.5mm alloy shock shafts provide plush suspension travel. The RC8B3 features precision universal drive shafts front and rear to keep suspension travel free through the entire stroke. The kit comes including a Pro-Line RC8B3 clear body and Team Associated moulded wing.
