Team Associated SC8.2e RTR – 4WD Electric Short Course Truck

Modeled after Robby Wood’s short-course race truck as raced in the Lucas Oil Off Road Racing Series, the SC8.2e RTR takes the next evolutionary step in Team Associated’s 1:8 scale short-course line by adding the new performance suspension developed on our R.O.A.R. National Championship-winning RC8.2 buggy.

The SC8.2e RTR includes high-performance features like the XP SC1300-BL brushless electronic speed control with Deans® Ultra Plug®, and a powerful Reedy 2000kv brushless motor. Also included is the XP 2.4GHz radio system with the high-torque S2008MG metal-gear servo that provides clean and consistent control.

The SC8.2e RTR was designed to meet the scale specifications of the 1:1 short-course race trucks. It’s all there, from the scale suspension travel, to the roll-cage tube diameter, to the functional mud flaps. The result is the SC8.2e RTR, a creation of an unparalleled scale experience at the top level of performance.
