Team Associated RC8Be Factory Team Kit

The RC8Be Factory Team kit picks up where the RC8e left off by adding many performance and durability enhancing features that were pioneered by our Area 51 engineers and world-class team of pro drivers.

The new RC8Be features include Factory Team 16mm Big Bore threaded hard-anodised shocks, RC8B 5mm 7075 blue aluminium shock towers, 7075 blue aluminium suspension mounts, Factory Team 7075 blue aluminium one-piece top plate, and Pro-Line M3 Holeshot tyres with moulded inserts.

Pre-assembled shocks, differentials, and turnbuckles help get you on the track fast. Factory Team shock and diff fluids are also included! All of these refinements are what make the Factory Team RC8Be – a potent buggy ready to take your racing to the next level that is pure Associated!
