Team Associated SC8e 1/8 Scale 4WD Electric Short Course Truck w/SPX8 & Vector 8 (2800kV)

This is the Team Associated SC8e 1/8 Scale 4WD Electric Truggy Combo Pack. This package includes the Associated RC8Te truggy, an LRP SPX8 Electronic Speed Control and an LRP Vector 8 2,800kV Brushless Motor!

SC8Te: The ultra-realistic SC8 was designed to look like full-size 4WD race trucks that compete on short course off-road tracks around the country. Team Associated's all-new SC8e kit brings all of that scale excitement to those who prefer the awesome performance, convenience, and cleanliness of electric power. Like the SC8, the SC8e was designed to meet the scale specifications and handling of full-size short course race trucks. It's all there! A durable and realistic clear race truck body, KMC(TM) wheels with realistic off-road tires, scale suspension travel, full roll-cage, and functional mud flaps result in an unparalleled scale experience.

Good looks mean nothing without the engineering to back it up. Team Associated's engineering team has developed a practical chassis design that incorporates the same exceptional strength, durability, cornering capability, jumping ability, and rough track handling that characterize the nitro SC8. With special features such as a hard anodized machined chassis, correctly balanced and optimized weight distribution, composite Big Bore shocks featuring 4mm gold shafts, and upgraded steering system, the SC8e is right at home on the race track - just like its full-size counterparts.

SPX8: The SPX8 Competition Brushless Speed Control is based on one of the most successful competition speed controls ever—the SPHERE Competition TC Spec. Only the best of the best in today’s brushless racing was good enough to use as a base for the development of the LRP 1/8 Brushless System. These successful genes can now be found in the SPX8 Competition Brushless ESC. It aims to reach the peak of 1/8 brushless speed controls with its high tech features. For this reason the TC Spec has been adapted to the specific demands of 1/8 racing. It now features special 1/8 software and has been specially optimized for use with 2S and 4S LiPo batteries. The result is a high end speed control that will excite the 1/8 electric RC car scene.

VECTOR 8: The VECTOR 8 Brushless Modified is based on the IFMAR World Championship winning X12 brushless modified technology. In the past months, X12 based motors set benchmarks when it came to outstanding performance and ultimate reliability at top level races around the world.  Now 1/8 drivers can benefit from this technology advantage as well. The Vector 8 Brushless Modified is specifically tailored for 1/8 off road racing with its longer tear down with special cooling fins, longer stack, magnet, and shaft for higher torque and maximum performance. Includes high performance fan for maximum cooling and unique mounting hardware for perfect installation into all RC cars—simply plug into the receiver!
