Description

The Team Associated RC8B4.1e Team Kit builds upon the success of the RC8B4e with key refinements to enhance its performance on the track. This 1/8 scale 4WD electric buggy features a new RWB/FWB (Rearward/Forward Weight Bias) adjustable chassis design, allowing racers to fine-tune the buggy's balance and handling characteristics. The innovative system enables quick changes between a rearward motor position for increased traction and a forward motor position for enhanced steering.

The RC8B4.1e Team Kit also boasts a lower centre of gravity, thanks to the new low-CG shock towers and shorter shocks. The 3-hole rear suspension arms allow for softer shock and spring setups while maintaining support in high-speed corners. The wide-base rear hubs offer three fixed axle heights and utilise 3mm carbon fibre hub towers for a wide range of geometry adjustments. With its focus on performance, adjustability, and cutting-edge technology, the Team Associated RC8B4.1e Team Kit is ready to dominate the competition.

Low CG Aluminium Shock Towers
Low CG Aluminium Shock Towers

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.
