Team Associated RC8T3 1:8 Nitro Truggy Team Kit

Team Associated RC8T3 1:8 Nitro Truggy Team Kit

Well, you knew it was coming – AE’s release of the RC8T3 Nitro Truggy!

The RC8T3 is a truggy version of the RC8B3, AE’s hot competition buggy. It shares many parts with the latter with a few upgrades to push it to a truggy size. The 7075-T6 hard-anodized aluminum chassis has been lengthened a tad and it still uses the RC8B3’s world class suspension, including the pillow ball front end, 16mm Big Bore shocks and universal driveshafts.

Also included in this kit are new V2 diffs with lightweight rings gears for improved performance, lightweight one-piece wing mounts, a two-piece sliding engine mount system and a Pro-Line RC8T3 clear body.

This looks like a great truggy – I can’t wait to see how it performs on the track!
