RC8RS "Race Spec" RTR

The RC8RS "Race Spec" RTR is based on the Factory Team RC8, making for the only 1:8 buggy with the high performance qualities that can live up to Team Associated's toughest standards. The RC8RS is a winner right out of the box and is pure Associated, having been designed for the highest level of performance and off-road fun, with more suspension travel than any other buggy in its class. Designed to take all of the punishment and abuse that a competitive 1:8 scale buggy will face, but to meet those challenges without breaking a sweat, in a convenient ready-to-run package, the RC8RS is yet another, Champion By Design.
