RC8Be Factory Team


The RC8Be Factory Team kit picks up where the RC8e left off by adding many performance and durability enhancing features that were pioneered by our Area 51 engineers and world-class team of pro drivers.

The  RC8Be features include Factory Team 16mm Big Bore threaded hard-anodized shocks, RC8B 5mm 7075 blue aluminum shock towers, 7075 blue aluminum suspension mounts, Factory Team 7075 blue aluminum one-piece top plate, and Pro-Line M3 Holeshot tires with molded inserts. Pre-assembled shocks, differentials, and turnbuckles help get you on the track fast. Factory Team shock and diff fluids are also included! All of these refinements are what make the Factory Team RC8Be - a potent buggy ready to take your racing to the next level that is pure Associated!
