Description
Please Note:

This kit comes without a Motor, Throttle or Steering Servos, Receiver Battery, Charger, Wheels, Starter Box or Transmitter, and will come with an unpainted body shell that may require cutting and drilling.

After a successful release of the RC8B3.2, the Area 51 engineers took the RC8 vehicle platforms to the next level with the RC8T3.2. The rear suspension arms have been lengthened to use the narrow pivot design. Bottom-loaded suspension arm inserts provide adjustable flex and keep the arms debris-free and easy to clean. A 4-piece center bulkhead allows for easier access to the center differential. A new rear shock tower has been developed to work with the new suspension arm geometry.

The all-new radio tray design has an enclosed battery box, a larger receiver box, integrated switch and transponder mounting, and adjustable flex configurations. Updated shock caps allow the RC8T3.2 to be run with the included new stiff bladders, standard bladders, or as emulsion with no bladders — all with the same cap.
