Team Associated RC8T4.2 80957 1/8 Nitro Racing Team Kit
Team Associated RC8T4.2 1/8 Nitro Racing Team Kit
The Team Associated RC8T4.2 is a 1/8 off-road racing kit developed by Associated Electrics' Area 51. Building on the RC8 series, it combines height-adjustable gearboxes, updated suspension geometry and a high-volume centre differential with a revised nitro chassis. This is an assembly kit, not a ready-to-run vehicle: a nitro engine, radio equipment, batteries, wheels, tyres and body are required separately, with assembly and painting required.
Key Features
- Moulded height-adjustable front and rear gearboxes.
- Updated shock towers accommodate the adjustable gearboxes and provide more body-mount height options.
- Updated moulded front and rear suspension arms for durability.
- 16° KPI steering block with updated bump-steer geometry.
- Rear anti-roll bar with wider mounting points.
- Revised -4mm nitro chassis with improved chassis-bracing options.
- Moulded top plate included.
- High-volume centre differential.
- High-downforce wing.
- Factory Team hard-anodised aluminium shock bushings.
- Updated brake-pad material and brake spring.
- 40/9 ring-and-pinion gear sets.
- 131mm universal driveshafts with 17mm outdrives.
- 19mm and 20mm HTC internal differential gear sets.
- Both bladder- and emulsion-style shock seals included.
- Factory Team hexes and grooved pins included.
