RC8T4e Team Kit Electric 1/8 Truggy

The latest development to come from Associated Electrics' Area 51 is designed to push boundaries of performance and build upon the number of accolades accumulated by the RC8 series.

RC8T4e Team Kit Features

New chassis layout featuring two saddle pack-style battery configurations. Both configurations include a centrally mounted center differential and in-line center driveshafts for superior drivetrain efficiency and equalized chassis balance
Four battery configurations to choose from:
Two 2S shorty LiPo batteries for lowest CG and exceptional weight bias
Two full size “saddle pack” LiPo batteries for lowest CG and exceptional weight bias
One 4S shorty LiPo battery for simplified setup and more centralized weight bias
One full size LiPo battery for simplified setup and more centralized weight bias
Innovative front-end geometry with new 8° steering blocks are paired with a new wider upper suspension arm pivot for improved steering balance and predictable handling in all conditions.
New gearboxes are specific to front and rear with larger bearing sizes resulting in longer life of ring and pinion gears:
Front gearbox is a 3.5° inclined pinion gear angle to straighten the center driveshaft for increased drivetrain efficiency and reduced phasing and vibration
Rear gearbox is a 0° pinion gear angle and a center mounted rear chassis brace
New front shock tower design with updated suspension geometry and body mount positions for all styles of truck bodies
Front and rear center dogbone driveshafts for improved drivetrain efficiency and durability
Front upper suspension arm updated to have bushing insert for improved fitment and performance

New rear chassis brace is mounted centrally to the gearbox, which reduces material fatigue, centralizes shear forces, and improves the life of rear-end drivetrain parts
There are three different chassis flex options using two chassis hole mounting locations and an optional turnbuckle ball for flex in more degrees of freedom
New +2 mm and +4 mm shock rod ends for finer adjustment of droop and up-travel settings
New 35.5 mm front and 44.5 mm rear shock shafts for improved dampening
New rear hub features a symmetrical left and right common design with axle height inserts for adjustable roll center tuning options
+2° steering block arm
V3 differentials with 46T ring and 10T pinion gears for improved gear ratios
RC8T3.2 split center diff mounts with aluminum center top plate
16mm shocks equipped with improved material locking spring cups and rod ends, V2 springs, “stiff” style shock bladder, combination bleeder/emulsion caps, and blue aluminum threaded collars
RC8B3.2 narrow C and D arm mounts
New rear wing mount has adjustable wing angle shims, significant strength improvements, an aerodynamic shape, and extra clearance for shock position adjustment
The adjustable rear wing has more vertical fins for increased straight-line stability, a taller rear lip height for increased downforce, and increased strength in various areas to reduce bending fatigue.
