The Team Associated RC8 T3.2e Team 1/8 4WD Off-Road Electric Truggy Kit shares many updated features with its nitro counterpart, the RC8T3.2, both using principles learned from the development of the RC8B3.1 to take the RC8 vehicle platforms to the next level.
The Area 51 engineers increased the length of the suspension arms to utilize the narrow arm mounts from the RC8B3.2, giving this upgrade increased traction and stability. Bottom-loaded suspension arm inserts provide adjustable flex and increase durability, while keeping the arms free of debris and easy to clean. A redesigned rear shock tower has been developed to work with the adjusted suspension arm geometry. A 3-piece center bulkhead allows for easy access to the center differential and makes adjustments even faster. Updated shock caps allow the RC8T3.2e to be run with the included stiff bladders, optional standard bladders, or as emulsion with no bladders; all with the same cap. The side guards have also been improved by using countersunk screws that thread into the chassis from the top of the truck, which greatly improves alignment to the chassis.
NOTE: Completed vehicle shown for illustrative purposes only and is not included.
Features:
- Updated suspension arm design with inserts for flex adjustments
- Longer rear suspension arm length with narrow rear arm mounts
- Updated rear shock tower for optimized rear suspension geometry
