Team Associated is proud to release the RC8Te, a 1:8 scale electric-powered competition truggy kit based on the championship-winning RC8T platform!  

The RC8Te engineering team has developed a practical design that incorporates the same exceptional strength, durability, cornering capability, jumping ability, and rough track handling that characterize the nitro-powered RC8T.  

With special features such as a hard-anodized machined chassis, correctly balanced and optimized weight distribution, composite Big Bore shocks featuring 4mm gold shafts, upgraded steering system, and lightweight wheels, every inch of the RC8Te screams high-performance and durability.  

Enjoying the awesome performance, convenience, and cleanliness of electric power has never been easier!
