RC8 — 1:8 scale — nitro powered — 4WD buggy

Is this a serious competition buggy? Some people think so. Richard “The King” Saxon says “The harder I drive it, the faster I can go.” Ryan Maifield, '06 ROAR champ, says “The RC8 is the best handling 1/8 scale buggy I've driven so far.” The RC8 comes from Associated's Area 51, where designers made sure that it had strength, durability, nimble handling and maximum cornering speed. Milled aluminum, carbon-fiber and titanium hold its weight to just 7.4 pounds, making the RC8 one of the lightest buggies in the class. Lightened diff ring gears speed response, while 4.30:1 gearboxes deliver explosive pre-jump punch. Factory Team threaded shocks w/extra-large bladders and a high-travel suspension soak up touchdown impacts, keeping you on the roll and in control.

From the correctly balanced and optimized weight distribution, silky smooth and reliable shocks featuring 4MM gold shafts, innovative clutch design, to the machined chassis, every inch of the RC8 screams performance and durability. From the proven drive train to the ultimately adjustable wing, you will see why the Factory Team RC8 will be the buggy chosen to dominate the competition.
