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.
