Frequently Asked QuestionsEverything you need to know
What components are needed to complete the Team Associated RC8B4e Team Kit?
To complete the Team Associated RC8B4e Team Kit, you will need a 2-channel transmitter and receiver, high-torque steering servo, 1/8 scale brushless motor, 1/8 scale electronic speed controller (ESC), 4S shorty or two 2S shorty LiPo batteries, a compatible LiPo charger, 1/8 buggy tires and wheels, polycarbonate paint, and basic assembly tools.
What battery configurations are supported by the Team Associated RC8B4e Team Kit?
The Team Associated RC8B4e Team Kit supports two shorty-style battery configurations: either two 2S shorty packs in a saddle arrangement for an ultra-low center of gravity, or a single 4S shorty battery pack for a simplified layout and centralized weight balance.
Is the Team Associated RC8B4e Team Kit suitable for RC beginners?
The Team Associated RC8B4e Team Kit is an un-assembled 1/8 scale competition kit designed specifically for experienced RC builders and competitive racers. It requires full assembly, shock/diff oil filling, clear body painting, and custom electronics selection.
