Team Associated 1/8 RC8B4.1 Nitro 4WD Off Road RC Buggy Kit
The RC8B4.1 represents the next chapter in the legacy of the 2022 IFMAR World Champion-winning RC8B4. Team Associated engineers meticulously crafted this evolution, focusing on lowering the centre of gravity (CG), reducing weight, and enhancing handling on un-groomed outdoor tracks. A new, stiffer tapered chassis profile forms the core of the buggy. This design delivers predictable high-speed handling while allowing for a softer overall shock package, leading to improved responsiveness and control. The suspension undergoes a comprehensive overhaul, featuring new low-CG shock towers (front and rear) and shorter shocks. These work in conjunction with innovative 3-hole rear suspension arms, enabling softer shocks and springs while maintaining crucial support during high-speed turns. The wide base rear hubs offer three fixed axle heights and utilise 3mm carbon fibre hub towers, providing a multitude of geometry options to fine-tune the buggies performance. Experience unparalleled grip and smooth power delivery on the roughest terrain with the RC8B4.1 92mm universal joints, 44/13 bevel gears, and a 47T spur gear.
The RC8B4.1 isn't just an upgrade; it's a revolution in performance. It's your invitation to push your limits, conquer challenging terrains, and experience the thrill of unparalleled precision and control.
Key Features
Team associated have reworked the chassis and side guards, now boasting a tapered profile for increased stiffness and predictability, taking the buggies performance to new heights. This innovative design minimises flex and enhances handling, allowing for precise control and unwavering stability on even the most challenging terrains. Unlocking a new dimension of performance.
The RC8B4.1 suspension undergoes a complete transformation, unlocking new levels of handling and control. Lower CG shock towers, both front and rear, paired with shorter shocks, drop the centre of gravity for increased stability. New 3-hole rear suspension arms enable softer shock and spring settings, maximising grip without compromising support in high-speed turns. Wide base rear hubs, offered in three fixed axle heights, provide multiple geometry options, fine-tuned by 3mm carbon fibre hub towers. This suspension overhaul empowers you to conquer any track with newfound confidence and precision.
The RC8B4.1 now features cutting-edge shock pistons for enhanced control and performance. New 6-hole pistons, 1.4mm in the front and 1.5mm taper in the rear, deliver precise damping for a smoother, more controlled ride. These machined pistons, paired with emulsion shock cap seals, work in perfect harmony to optimise the shock performance, helping you dominate the track with every turn.
