The Team Associated RC8 B3.2 Team 1/8 4WD Off-Road Nitro Buggy Kit was developed with a focus on key components that improved durability, accelerated maintenance, and expanded upon its race-winning heritage within the RC8B3 platform. Redesigned suspension arms feature bottom-loaded inserts to adjust flex characteristics. The rear suspension arm length has been increased while reducing the arm mount width to improve performance in all conditions. A 4-piece center bulkhead allows for easier access to the center differential, making adjustments even faster.
The radio tray design features an enclosed battery box, a larger receiver box, integrated switch and transponder mounting, and adjustable flex configurations. Updated shock caps allow the RCB3.2 to be run with the included stiff bladders, optional standard bladders (not included), or as emulsion with no bladders - all with the same cap. The RC8B3 platform was born with Team Associated "Champion by Design" heritage and the RC8B3.2 plans to continue dominating the 1:8 scale off road racing scene!
NOTE: Finished kit shown in photos is for illustrative purposes only. See needed to complete list below for a full list of items required to complete the model.

Good morning. I bought a RC8B3.2 and when I was assembling it I saw that one of the pieces has a deformation, it seems that in the injection process did not finish filling the mold.

I have raced Losi and Tekno and the Associated buggy is by far the best handling I have driven. The build instructions may be a little difficult for the Novice but a great buggy to drive.

I've built many pro race kits at this price point you're making it affordable for the youngsters to get into the hobby. Most kits are double that cost as an avid hobbyist on the pro Nitro side I applaud this kit.. Great job associated in a main hobbies

I got the rc8b3.2 on sale. The kit is great quality, for most people outside of high level racing this is a much better option than an rtr grade buggy. Thanks again to amain for the awesome deal and fast shipping!

I had to scoop this kit based on price alone. I love how the holes in plastic pieces were all sized correctly compared to a tekno. There are a few steps in the manual that you need to fill in the blank and/or aren't depicted very well. It helps if you notice the little baggie of random bolts that Associated threw in the box after the fact. Either I lost a diff. cover or it was missing from the beginning. That all stinks but in the grand scheme you only build the thing once. The buggy itself is designed as well and has the same if not better quality as all the rest. I bought a diff cover AND the engine with the money saved so it's all good.

Great nitro car for the price! I have the B4 and it overall drives better. This car is completely different than the b4 in many ways, but I would recommend this car to anyone who wants to start getting into nitro because of it's price.

I loved my RC10 as a kid. My other cars are electric and I wanted to go nitro on this one. It seemed fitting to go back to Team Associated on this one. It's been a great build so far and I can't wait to drive it! Thanks AMain Hobbies!

So I usually don’t write reviews, but I’m at the point where I feel like I need to. So I’m not really sure who this falls back on but I’ve had to order many parts for this kit while I was building it do to missing parts. I’m missing whole steps. And dealing with associated was any help. Not sure what to do. But I guess since the car is such a big discount and less than half off, well then you get half the hardware. It’s a shame. By the way this is my first build. Enjoy putting the car together but not enjoying having to pay fo so much in parts and hardware do to the lack of them. Would I by this again? Not a chance!!!
