Team Associated RC8B3.1 nitro & electric kits

Team Associated have introduced the new RC8B3.1 nitro and electric 1/8th scale buggy kits. Both built on the proven third generation RC8 platform and feature new H.T.C. High Torque Capacity differentials with increased fluid capacity and a more consistent feel even in long mains. Precision CVA drive shafts are included front and rear to keep suspension travel free through the entire stroke, and the suspension and drive-train package is bolted to a hard-anodised 7075-T6 aluminium chassis designed for optimum weight distribution, ground clearance, and better overall handling. As a result, the RC8B3.1 Team Kits changes directions faster, and are more compliant and stable in rough terrain. Part of the new RC8B3.1’s package is also an all-new, easy-to-maintain, 4-shoe clutch.
