The Team Associated RC8 T3.2 Team 1/8 4WD Off-Road Nitro Truggy Kit is a result of the Area 51 Engineers using principles learned from the development of the RC8B3.2 to take the RC8 vehicle platforms to the next level.
The rear suspension arms have been lengthened to use the narrow pivot design for increased traction and stability. Bottom-loaded suspension arm inserts provide adjustable flex and increase durability while keeping the arms debris-free and easy to clean. A 4-piece center bulkhead allows for easier access to the center differential to make adjustments even faster. A new rear shock tower has been developed to work with the new suspension arm geometry.
NOTE: Model shown completed for illustrative purposes only and is not included.
