Description
The Team Associated RC8 B3.2 Team 1/8 4WD Off-Road Nitro Buggy Kit was developed with a focus on key components that improved durability, accelerated maintenance, and expanded upon its race-winning heritage within the RC8B3 platform. Redesigned suspension arms feature bottom-loaded inserts to adjust flex characteristics. The rear suspension arm length has been increased while reducing the arm mount width to improve performance in all conditions. A 4-piece center bulkhead allows for easier access to the center differential, making adjustments even faster.
The radio tray design features an enclosed battery box, a larger receiver box, integrated switch and transponder mounting, and adjustable flex configurations. Updated shock caps allow the RCB3.2 to be run with the included stiff bladders, optional standard bladders (not included), or as emulsion with no bladders - all with the same cap. The RC8B3 platform was born with Team Associated "Champion by Design" heritage and the RC8B3.2 plans to continue dominating the 1:8 scale off road racing scene!
