From Team Associated:
The subsequent evolution of the RC8B4 eBuggy is upon us. Team Associated engineers sought to decrease the CG and weight and enhance dealing with on un-groomed out of doors tracks. The coronary heart of the buggy is the brand new RWB/FWB adjustable weight bias chassis design. The revolutionary system permits the motive force to run both configuration with the motor rearward for extra traction, or shift the middle diff and flip the middle dogbones to run motor ahead for extra steering.
The suspension is overhauled with new entrance and rear low-CG shock towers and shorter shocks, together with new 3-hole rear suspension arms that permit for softer shock and spring whereas nonetheless sustaining assist within the quick turns. The new large base rear hubs are available in three fastened axle heights and use 3mm carbon fiber hub towers to permit a number of completely different geometry choices.
Lastly, the buggy comes with 92mm common joints, 44/13 bevel gears, and a 46T molded spur gear for probably the most grip and smoothest energy supply on un-groomed out of doors tracks.
