The RC8B4.1 electric buggy is the highly anticipated evolution of the RC8B4, boasting significant improvements for unrivalled performance on un-groomed outdoor tracks. Team Associated engineers focused on lowering the centre of gravity and weight, while enhancing handling for optimal control.
The heart of this buggy lies in the innovative RWB/FWB adjustable weight bias chassis, which allows drivers to run either a rear-motor configuration for enhanced traction or a front-motor setup for improved steering by simply shifting the centre diff and flipping the centre driveshaft. The suspension has been thoroughly revamped with new low-CG front and rear shock towers and shorter shocks, redesigned 3-hole rear suspension arms, and wide base rear hubs with three fixed axle heights and 3mm carbon fibre hub towers. The 92mm universal joints, 44/13 bevel gears, and 46T moulded spur gear deliver smooth power delivery and maximum traction on any un-groomed outdoor track.
Note: This kit comes without an ESC, Motor, Servo, Battery, Charger, Wheels or Transmitter and will come with an unpainted polycarbonate shell that may require cutting, painting and drilling.

Master the terrain with the game-changing RWB/FWB chassis. Choose rear motor power for unstoppable traction on rough tracks, or switch to forward motor agility for razor-sharp cornering, easily done with a simple adjustment. Embrace the freedom and control of allowed by the easily changeable drivetrain.
The RC8B4 buggies 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.
The RC8B4 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.
New +1 aluminium steering block arms provide sharper turn-in, allowing you to carve through corners with precision and control, especially on low grip surfaces. These robust aluminium arms offer the strength and durability you need to dominate the race, while their enhanced geometry delivers the responsiveness you crave for a truly thrilling driving experience.
The RC8B4.1E boasts a groundbreaking new moulded front bumper designed with bumpy transitions in mind. This optimised profile absorbs impacts and glides over obstacles, ensuring a smoother, more controlled ride. Say goodbye to jarring landings and hello to a seamless transition from smooth to rough terrain. This innovative bumper enhances the buggies handling and performance.
The RC8B4.1e now features a striking yet functional upgrade - a new blue aluminium front upper arm mount. This robust component adds an extra layer of durability to the buggy's suspension, ensuring unwavering performance even under the most demanding conditions. The vibrant blue finish not only adds a touch of style but also serves as a visual reminder of the enhanced strength and resilience this mount provides.
