Team Associated RC8T3.1 & T3.1e Team Kits

Team Associated have introduced the latest RC8T3.1 nitro and RC8T3.1e electric Team Kit competition truggy kits. Both have been overhauled with the latest upgrades. Many of the same winning features of the B3.1 have been integrated into this latest generation of the Team Associated T3 platform. The updates make the trucks easier to drive and more consistent lap after lap thanks to a refined suspension framework while also increasing durability and consistency on the track.
