Team Associated release the RC8.2 Factory Team kit with a load of new option parts. Featuring the new Factory Team +3mm 7075 hard anodised chassis plate, the new chassis adds 3mm of length to optimise weight distribution and overall handling. Adding to this are newly designed suspension arms with centreline shock mounts and optimised anti-roll bar position. The new suspension arms were designed to work with the Factory Team 5mm 7075 aluminium low-CG shock towers to improve and optimise the suspension geometry, making the new buggy more plush and forgiving in rougher terrain. The Factory Team kit includes the 16mm “Big Bore” hard-anodised threaded shocks with 4mm titanium nitride coated shafts and revised shock boots to help increase traction and keep the rubber on the ground. Also included in the kit are JConcepts Punisher body and Illusion wing.
