"With the RC8B4 one of my favorite features is the new steering geometry. This has really changed the game when it comes to all the different conditions and track surfaces we race on. This has really improved the tuning window from track to track without changing car setup." - Spencer Rivkin

Team Associated RC8B4 Overview:

Designed to push the limits of off-road racing

The Team Associated RC8B4 Team 1/8 4WD Off-Road Nitro Buggy Kit is designed to be the ultimate racing machine that is packed with cutting-edge features for superior performance on any track. An overhaul to the gearboxes, front control arms, rar arm design, chassis braces, hub design and more to give you the next level off-road machine. The front-end geometry has also received updates allowing for increased stability and more consistent steering through the entire steering throw. All of these features come together for a buggy that is ready to dominate the track.

Car Updates

The new Team Associated RC8B4 has a variety of new updates to the geometry to help get more performance and stability while providing the best driving experience

Front and Rear Gearbox

The front and rear gearboxes have received crucial updates. The front gearbox features a 3.5° incline allowing for a straightened driveshaft, increasing drivetrain efficiency. The rear gearbox uses a 0° pinion angle, maintaining this straightened driveshaft system. Both gearboxes use oversized bearing for longer bearing lifespan.

Front Suspension Arms

The front upper and lower suspension arms have been designed to accommodate a wide range of flex and stiffness options. Optional inserts have been made to provide extreme fine tuning and will work with the upper or lower arm. The lower arm features a one-piece anti-roll bar link mounts that are in-line with the anti-roll bar for simplified assembly and operation.

Rear Suspension Arms

The rear arms have been designed for optimum flex and stiffness with no inserts. However, optional inserts may be used for fine tuning. The rear arms also feature a one-piece anti-roll bar link is mounted in-line with the anti-roll bar with a BHCS instead of a shock pin for simplified assembly.

The new front end is so easy to control...If you had the RC8B3.2 you will be amazed how stable this buggy is, the rear end grip and steering is so predictable. I just updated the swaybars and springs, emulsion shock seals, and some shock pistons... all tuning parts you'd normally have on hand. Big improvement on my RC8B3.2.

Great kit. Assembly was pretty straightforward with instructions and illustrations provided. The overall quailty and fitment of parts is very good and what you'd expect from AE. Can't wait to run it!

This was my first time building a racing kit. I must say, I was not disappointed by no means. I thoroughly enjoyed building this buggy and learned a lot. If you are on the fence or nervous about building a racing kit, don’t be. This kit is high quality and relatively easy to build. Just take your time and enjoy the build.

This kit does come with grease and all the oils needed for the shocks and differentials. The description says you need to purchase fluids but that is not true. This also comes with a flywheel/clutch kit and a clutch bell. The only thing needed in this kit are servos, on/off switch, battery, engine/exhaust, wheels/tires and of course transmitter/receiver. I also purchased blue aluminum servo mount grommets but is not needed. This is a great kit to build for beginners or veterans to the hobby.

Love team associated, very good quality. Excellent fine tuned race kits! MUGEN is my full fledge suggestion if you wanna look at the MBX8TR review I left!! It requires you to be older and more steady handed for an entire two parts of the build needing accommodations!! But mine handles equally as well!! And is built like a cement wall!
