Team Associated RC8B4e Weight Bias Chassis

Developed during 2023 as their drivers wanted the option to shift weight rearward on lower grip ungroomed tracks, Team Associated has released the FWB/RWB Weight Bias Chassis for its RC8B4e 1:8 eBuggy.  Racers can tune the RC8B4e’s weight bias using two motor and centre differential positions with the FWB/RWB chassis and adapter.  Forward is the original location for maximum steering, and the rearward location gives more rear grip and lightens the front end for low grip or bumpy conditions.  Customers will need chassis and the FWB/RWB Adapter with 96.5mm Dogbone Set to update their RC8B4e to the new chassis system.  The #81581 104mm centre dogbone from the original kit is used with the new parts.  The replacement 96.5mm centre dogbone set is sold separately for spare parts (it’s included in #81645).  Also notable, the new chassis design installs the drivetrain in the reverse orientation from the original kit, and this provides a positive torque reaction that will aid in rear grip on power.
