Team Associated RC8B4e Team 1/8 4WD Electric Buggy Kit ASC80946

Description: The Team Associated RC8B4e Team 1/8 4WD Electric Buggy Kit is designed to push the limits of off road racing. The RC8B4e features updated gearboxes, front upper and lower arm design, rear arm design, chassis braces, rear hub design and fuel tank design for enhanced performance. NOTE: Painted body, electronics, servo, batteries and tires shown in photos are for illustrative purposes only and are not included.RC8B4e Team Kit Features New chassis layout featuring two different shorty-style only battery configurations. Both configurations include a centrally mounted center differential and in-line center dog bones for superior drive train efficiency and equalized chassis balance. Configuration 1: Two 2s shorty "saddle pack" for lowest CG and exceptional weight biasConfiguration 2: One 4s shorty for simplified setup and more centralized weight bias over a traditional full length 4s battery Innovative front-end geometry with reduced kingpin inclination steering blocks places the wheel pivot in the center of the front tire for increased stability and consistent steering through the entire steering throw Paired with a new wider upper suspension arm pivot New front upper suspension arm design Designed to accommodate a wide range of flex and stiffness options.Optional inserts will be made available for fine tuning flex and stiffness and will fit on the top or bottom of the arm.Includes a molded "wing" insert for increased front-end down force.Uses a replaceable molded hinge pin bushing to reduce slop and increase suspension dynamics New front lower suspension arm design Designed to accommodate a wide range of flex and stiffness options. Optional inserts will be made available for fine tuning flex and stiffnessNew one-piece anti-roll bar link mounts in-line with the anti-roll bar with a BHCS instead of a shock pin for simplified assembly Optional inserts mount to the top or bottom face of the arm AE racers choice! New rear suspension arm design Designed to be of optimal flex and stiffness with no insert. However, optional inserts will be made available for fine tuning flexOptional inserts will be made available for fine tuning flex and stiffness and will fit on the top or bottom of the armNew angled 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 New rear wing mount has adjustable wing angle shims, significant strength improvements, an aerodynamic shape, and extra clearance for shock position adjustment Two wing height options are available to tune the rear down forceThree wing angle positions: 0, -2, and -4 degreesThe improved design also secures the wing mounting nuts so that they will not spin in the mount The four wing mount screws into the rear tower access from the rear end of the buggy for simplified maintenance New rear wing has more vertical fins for increased straight-line stability, a taller rear wicker bill height for increased down force, increased strength in various areas to reduce bending fatigue, and dimples on the backside as a template for cutout holes Two wing buttons are included for additional tuning options: the first is a traditional one-piece flat button and the second is a vertical stabilizing fin for even more straight-line stability New rear chassis brace has several design features and flex options Rear brace is mounted centrally to the gearbox, which reduces material fatigue, centralizes shear forces, and improves the life of rear end drive train partsHas three different chassis flex options using two chassis hole mounting locations 1. Use both screws (most rigid). 2. Use one screw, long location. 3.Use one screw, short location (most flexible)The upper brace joint has two flex tuning options at the gearbox 1. With included molded inserts that prevent twisting and only allow flex along the center line pivot of the brace 2. With optional turnbuckle ball for flex in more degrees of freedomRemovable insert to customize the amount of flex in the brace More features... New two-piece clamping motor mounts make for secure mounting and allows for mounting of a 30mm motor fan. The gear mesh is adjusted from the bottom of the chassis, just like on RC8B4New battery trays with battery stops built in for easy battery position adjustmentsNew oversized hook and loop straps for simplified and secure battery mountingNew ESC tray with protective shield has two chassis mounting positions â€“ one for each chassis configurationNew receiver box with built in servo mounts has integrated cable routing and increased volume for fitting larger receiversWire routing clips included for clean wiring of batteries and motor sensor wireNew side guards have integrated wire routing clips and are over 1 inch narrower than RC8B3.2eNew RC8B4e specific 7075 aluminum hard anodized chassis features updates to strengthen the front and rear droop tab areas, an increased width along kick up area, and accommodations for the electric specific layout.Includes the RC8B3.2 splitting center bulkhead with a new RC8B4e specific center top plateNew RC8B4e specific front top plate has been updated to fit the new steering geometry and an offset RC8B4 front chassis braceNew steering bell cranks with top-mounted steering rack for extra clearance around gearbox assemblyNew aluminum steering rack designed around the updated front end geometry is lightweight and durableNew steering bell crank nuts are longer to reduce drag from the steering rack under flexUpdated steering servo linkage features a new heavy duty threaded ball and steel screw jointNew A and B blue aluminum suspension arm mounts are shaped to interlock with the RC8B4 chassisNew 7075 aluminum hard anodized chassis features updates to strengthen the front and rear droop tab areas and an increased width along kick up areaNew upper suspension arm link mount is significantly wider than RC8B3 series, providing the required geometry for the new reduced KPI steering blocksNew front shock tower has strength improvements and allows for the upper suspension arm insert to be mounted from front side via a recessed pocket, without disassembly of the tower from the gearboxNew RC8B4e specific carbon fiber front top plate with offset front chassis braceNew front chassis brace is the same length as the short version from RC8B3 for ideal front end flexNew front body post is recessed into the front top plate and the reversible design is easy to mountNew spring cups and shock rod end design has a locking screw to keep the cups in place during a crash and has improved material; the same tough material as our 1/10 rod endsNew front shock bushings are 1.5mm longer than RC8B3 shock mountsNew rear shock bushings are 4mm longer than RC8B3 shock mountsLarge diameter, Low-Profile SHCS are used throughout the buggy to replace a traditional screw/washer system.New two-piece rear body post features a rubber grommet to allow some flex to extend the life of the bodyNew rod ends have improved thread engagement, slotted area for easy turnbuckle wrench access, and are made from a same durable material as our 1:10 rod endsNew longer 5x44mm rear camber linkNew +1mm offset rear hub features a symmetrical left and right common design with axle height inserts for adjustable roll center tuning. The standard bearing size used is an 8x16x5mm flanged but the hub will still accept 15x21x4mm bearing for CVA axle tuning optionsNew CVA axle has a "stub" design with retainer sleeve to capture pin and uses two 8x16x5mm flanged bearings (the same as the RC8B3 universal axle setup)93mm CVA bones used on all four corners of the buggy93.5mm front and 104mm rear center dog bones with 14mm pins on are now standard equipment for increased drive train efficiencyNew rear shock tower features two built in wing height positions; the RC8B4 "low" is the same height as the RC8B3 "high" and RC8B4 features an additional +5mm height option by adjusting the wing mount adapters, all easily accessed from the rear end of the buggyStandard wheel hex sizes include a "+0" mm front and rearStandard anti-roll bar sizes include a 2.2mm front and 2.4mm rear barNew RC8B4e Gamma body styled by Area 51 engineers for superb aerodynamics, superior handling, and unmatched beauty.
