Here to answer the call is the latest development from Team Associated\u0027s Area 51 Design Works, the RC8B3.2 Team Kit! \r\nThe RC8B3.2 is set to push the boundaries of the accolades accumulated by the RC8B3.1:\r\n* 2018 I.F.M.A.R. World Championship, Perth, Australia -- Davide Ongaro \r\n* 2019 ROAR National Championship, Hutto, Texas -- Spencer Rivkin \r\n* 2019 RCGP Series Championship -- Davide Ongaro \r\n* 2019 Italian Nitro Championship -- Davide Ongaro \r\n\r\nThe engineers of Area 51 Design Works focused on key components that improved durability, accelerated maintenance, and expanded upon its race-winning heritage within the RC8B3 platform. An all-new suspension arm design features 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.\r\n\r\nThe all-new 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 new stiff bladders, standard bladders, or as emulsion with no bladders -- all with the same cap. The RC8B3 platform was born with Team Associated \u0022Champion by Design\u0022 heritage and the RC8B3.2 plans to continue dominating the 1:8 scale off road racing scene!\r\n\r\nThis vehicle needs extra parts to make it operational.

To be a top performer, one must innovate and push the envelope. The designers of Team Associated Area 51 Design Works have done just that. The result is the RC8B3.2e electric 1:8 scale buggy.\r\n\r\nAlready a proven platform, the RC8B3.2e looks to add to the portfolio of victories. No stone has gone unturned when considering the makeup of the RC8B3.2e. The geometry of the suspension has been critically analyzed to determine improved areas of performance, resulting in a new suspension arm design with inserts to adjust flex characteristics and keep dirt out. The combination of a longer rear suspension arm, narrower suspension arm mounts and an overall wider rear track width has proven to increase driver comfort, consistency and speed. \r\n\r\nUpdated shock caps allow the RCB3.2e to be run in two different configurations: As emulsion type with the bleeder screw and seal, or bladder type with the included new stiff bladders, or optional traditional bladders. The side guards have also been improved by changing the attachment method to FHCS that thread into the chassis from the top of the buggy. This increases the durability of the side guard while improving alignment to the chassis. \r\n\r\nThis vehicle needs extra parts to make it operational.

The Team Associated RC10 buggy series has won 12 of the 17 I.F.M.A.R. World Championships contested since the racing class began. In fact, Team Associated has won more 2WD I.F.M.A.R World Championships that all other manufacturers combined!\r\n\r\nThe engineering continues. The Limited Edition B6.1DL will be the buggy of choice for tracks with very high traction where a forward mass is beneficial and chassis roll needs to be tamed through a low center of gravity. The B6.1DL has a Laydown Stealth(R) transmission that gives the car additional traction when exiting the corners. The addition of +1 Ackermann plates and gull wing suspension arms tune the steering for a razor-sharp feel and more control. The B6.1DL features our easy-access differential, diff height adjustability, and an all-new slipper with the speed, durability and lineage expected of a true champion.\r\n\r\nThis vehicle needs extra parts to make it operational.
