Today’s technical plastics are of high quality, but when it comes to combining light weight, looks and stiffness at a reasonable price, aluminium is hard to beat. For racers looking for a way to finely adjust their RC8B3.2 or RC8T3.2 flex characteristics or just wanting to add some bling, RDRP now offers a black anodised version of the Associated radio tray mounts.
Team Associated have introduced new optional Factory Team HD (Heavy Duty) material suspension arms for the RC8B3.2 buggy and RC8T3.2 truggy. The updated HD polymer material provides a stiffer platform for the suspension to work and increased durability of the arm and insert plate. Team driver Spencer Rivkin has run the HD material at several events, including taking second place at the Southern Indoor Championships in January 2021 and third place electric buggy at the Dirt Nitro Challenge.
From Team Associated comes this 16mm shock collar and seal retainer set in black. A direct swap for the stock blue shock collars and seal retainers this set is perfect for customising your ride. The set of black anodised aluminium parts with retainers is enough for two shocks. Fits the RC8B3.2, RC8B3.2e, RC8T3.2, RC8T3.2e, and all older RC8B3 platform vehicles.

Tune your RC8B3.2 and RC8T3.2 to have increased rear grip and reduced turn-in with new low roll centre (LRC) rear arm mounts from Team Associated. By lowering the pill insert position by 1mm on both the C and D mounts, turn-in is reduced and rear traction is increased when exiting corners. CNC-machined from billet aluminium, it features a blue-anodised finish.

Team Associated have introduced these new 2mm G10 suspension arm inserts for the RC8B3.2. G10 fiberglass is a great upgrade to increase arm stiffness and durability over the stock plastic suspension arm inserts. While G10 is a more flexible material than carbon fibre, these inserts are thicker than the current carbon fibre inserts (2.0mm vs 1.2mm), so these inserts are stiffer than the current carbon fibre parts. Perfect for the upcoming heat of outdoor season.
