Team Associated is proud to bring to you the Factory Team RC8T, a 1:8 scale full-blown racing truggy based on the successful RC8 platform! Like the Factory Team RC8 buggy before it, the highly anticipated RC8T will raise the performance bar for 1:8 nitro truggies.

Strength, durability, maximum corner speeds, and rough track handling were the key design elements Area 51 worked into the RC8T. Drivers will experience unparalleled and effortless "pop" as they launch from the jumps. Landings will be plush beyond belief due to the enhanced suspension that other truggies can only dream of.

From the correctly balanced and optimized weight distribution, silky smooth and reliable "Big Bore" shocks featuring 4mm gold shafts, innovative clutch design, to the machined chassis, every inch of the RC8T screams high performance and durability. There will be no question to why the Factory Team RC8T will be the truggy of choice at the highest levels of competition.   

Features: Factory Team RC8T

The RC8T-RS is a winner right out of the box and is 100% pure Associated, having been designed with the many years of race-winning experience and 23 IFMAR World Championships that only Team Associated can claim.

The RC8T-RS comes fully assembled and set up, ready to hit the ground running. Team Associated's Pro.28 engine and XP3D Computerized Digital FM Radio system are factory installed. The differentials and shocks come filled with silicone fluids, making it faster and easier than ever to get Team Associated performance out of the box and into
the dirt!

The RC8T-RS's suspension features four composite 16mm 'Big Bore' shocks featuring extra large bladders and 4mm shock shafts for smooth action and durability. The shocks hang on 3mm low profile black aluminum shock towers for strength and reduced weight.

The RC8T-RS has a full-ball bearing drivetrain with 4.30:1 ratio gear boxes, and a high-torque capacity three-shoe clutch does the job of getting all the power to the drive train smoothly and efficiently. Getting the all the power to the ground is a set of six CVAs all featuring captured pins for bullet-proof reliability.

The backbone of the RC8T-RS is a strong and durable 3mm black hard-anodized 7075 aluminum chassis that has been designed to take all of the punishment and abuse that a competitive 1:8 scale truggy will have to face in stride.
