Magazine Reviews
Between the three Associated cars, we decided on converting our SC8 over to brushless power. And I'm sorry to give it away at such an early point in the story, but this is single handedly the best thing we've ever done to the car! Starting off with the actual conversion process and the fitment of the parts, this is easily the best-looking conversion on the market. If you currently own an RC8, RC8T or an SC8, and if you're adamant on going brushless, this is a highly recommended option. The kit fits perfectly and looks totally factory. --RC Car, July 2009
The SC8, RC8 and RC8T can now all be electrified using Associated's brushless conversion. With a brushless setup, you now have the convenience of electric, the durability of 1/8 scale and the option of choosing how much power you bolt in. With so many speed control and motor options available, you can go tame or insane. Our test SC8 had a custom-modified LRP TC Spec ESC paired with Novak's sensored HV Pro brushless 5.5-turn motor. We bolted in two 5000mAh Reedy LiPo battery packs in series to double the voltage from 7.4 to 14.8 volts. With this setup, the SC8 had similar power to the stock nitro powerplant, however, the power delivery was more linear. With the LRP sensored speed control paired with the Novak 5.5 motor, the truck had plenty of grunt on bottom to clear doubles and tabletops yet it was so easy to drive. Other than dirt from the track, the SC8 didn't have the usual grime and fuel residue you find on nitro vehicles. A quick blast with an air compressor, and it was clean again. --Radio Control Car Action, March 2009
