Here's what others have to say about the RC8:


Team Associated Factory Team RC8: Good things are worth the wait

Suspension seems to be where Associated sent much of its engineering horsepower, as the RC8's true innovation lies in the small details of its astounding suspension system. Raised mounts on the lower arms allow the shocks to be angled sharply inward yet retain the most desirable leverage over suspension movement. In doing this, Associated was able to create very compact woven carbon-fiber shock towers that are less likely to break during a crash, and even less likely to transfer crash forces to the gearboxes.

Point the RC8 in the right direction, stab the throttle and hold on; the RC8 is unsurpassed in the ability to get the power to the ground in a hurry.

Team Associated Factory Team RC8: Pre-Built for World Domination

As if there weren't enough good choices to confuse you with, the Team Associated RC8 now adds another world-class option to the list of buggies you should race. It's packed with details that make it stand out in the crowd, it handles with the best of them, it has the huge team behind it making improvements to the car and setup even as I type, and AE is distributed just about everywhere.



These are stock photos from the Associated website.  **THIS IS A KIT, NEW IN BOX** and DOES NOT include an engine, electronics, or tires, though it does have wheels.
