Team Associated RC8e 1/8 Scale 4WD Electric Buggy Combo Pack w/SPX8 & Vector 8 (

This is the Team Associated RC8e 1/8 Scale 4WD Electric Buggy Combo Pack. This package includes the Associated RC8e buggy, an LRP SPX8 Electronic Speed Control and an LRP Vector 8 2,500kV Brushless Motor!

RC8e: The RC8e engineering team has developed a practical design that incorporates the same exceptional strength, durability, cornering capability, jumping ability, and rough track handling that the nitro powered RC8 is notorious for. With special features such as a hard anodized machined chassis, correctly balanced and optimized weight distribution, composite “Big Bore” shocks featuring 4mm gold shafts, upgraded steering system, and exclusive body design, every inch of the RC8e screams high performance and durability. In fact, the RC8e has proved itself as a top competitor with a First Place finish in its debut event!

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!
