Team Associated RC8B4.1 Team Kit

New from reigning back to back 1:8 Nitro Buggy World Champion manufacturer Team Associated is the next evolution of the 2022 IFMAR World Champion-winning chassis, the RC8B4.1 Team Kit.  Team Associated engineers sought to lower the CG, reduce weight, and improve handling on un-groomed outdoor tracks.  As a result, the new RC8B4.1 RWB chassis design has a stiffer tapered profile for predictable high-speed handling, allowing for a softer overall shock package. The suspension is overhauled with new front and rear low-CG shock towers and shorter shocks, along with new 3-hole rear suspension arms that allow for softer shocks and springs while still maintaining support in the fast turns.  The new wide base rear hubs come in three fixed axle heights and use 3mm carbon fibre hub towers to allow several different geometry options.  Lastly, the buggy comes with 92mm universal joints, 44/13 bevel gears, and a 47T spur gear for the most grip and smoothest power delivery on un-groomed outdoor tracks.
