The E-truggy was developed based on the RC8T3 nitro truggy and uses a unique proprietary hard-anodised 7075-T6 aluminium chassis specifically designed for brushless power with optimum weight distribution and superior handling. The RC8T3e shares over 90 percent parts compatibility with the RC8T3 truck, offering the perfect solution for multi-class racers.
