Team Associated's Two New Team Kits - RC8T3e & RC8T3

Turning attention toward the racing and competitive side of the hobby, Team Associated has announced two new 1/8 scale, 4-wheel drive truggy kits in both electric and nitro configurations.  The RC8T3 (nitro) and  RC8T3e (electric) both sport similar configurations, with the electric version sharing over 90% parts compatibility with its nitro-powered cousin.

With features and specs that were bred for performance, both truggies utilize an aluminum chassis, big bore threaded shocks, updated V2 differentials that boast improved performance and longer life, and Pro-Line RC8T3 bodies.

Features:

Hard-anodized 7075-T6 aluminum chassis features an optimized weight bias layout for improved handling and stability

New V2 diffs included for longer life and improved performance
Front suspension features pillow ball uprights for increased adjustability and improved durability

Lightweight ring gears and optimized precision ball bearing sizing reduces drivetrain rotational mass for improved acceleration and battery efficiency

Gearboxes feature a 4.6:1 internal gear ratio with fast access differentials for quick removal, tuning and maintenance

Six universal drive shafts for efficient drivetrain power delivery and ease of maintenance

7075-T6 aluminum 16mm "Big Bore" threaded shocks with TiN coated 3.5mm shafts, larger diameter precision springs, and optimized bladders for more precise volume compensation

7075-T6 aluminum shock towers front and rear feature finely tuned shock mounting and upper arm positions

Refined suspension geometry with lower hinge pin inserts for quick and easy roll center adjustments
