TEAM ASSOCIATED RC8B3 1/8 NITRO BUGGY KIT
n the hyper-competitive world of 1:8 scale off road racing one has to
evolve and adapt or get left in the dust. Knowing this fact well, the
engineers of Area 51 designed the RC8B3 Team Kit to be a winner in every
aspect, from the build, to maintenance, and ultimately racing.
Completely designed from the ground up. The RC8B3 starts with a
hard-anodized 7075-T6 aluminum chassis designed for optimum weight
distribution, ground clearance, and better overall handling. As a
result, the RC8B3 Team Kit changes directions faster, and is more
compliant and stable in rough terrain.
World class suspension package. The RC8B3 has received an updated
suspension that features a pillow-ball front upright for maximum
steering and durability. Refined 16mm Big Bore hard-anodized aluminum
threaded shocks and 3.5mm alloy shock shafts provide plush suspension
travel. The RC8B3 features precision universal drive shafts front and
rear to keep suspension travel free through the entire stroke.
Designed to handle, built to win. The RC8B3 was designed by 1:8 scale
racers for 1:8 scale racers, and delivers high performance that will
help put you on the podium.
