Team Associated SC8


New from Team Associated:

The Team Associated SC8 – where scale authenticity and high-performance meet!

This is something that many R/C drivers have only dreamed about, and Team Associated is proud to bring to you the SC8, the first 1:8 scale, nitro 4WD offroad, authentic race truck replicas. Each SC8 comes decked out with one of four fully licensed race truck bodies, wheels and tires, designed to look just like the full size race trucks that run in short course off road series around the country. The world of high-performance R/C has never before seen this level of scale accuracy!

Starting with the championship winning RC8T truggy platform, the SC8 was designed to meet the scale specifications of the full size short course race trucks. It’s all there, from the scale suspension travel, to the rollcage tube diameter, to the functional mud flaps. The result is the SC8, a creation of an unparalleled scale experience at a level of performance that has never been seen before in true scale.

Underneath the beautifully finished body, roll cage and wheels, beats the heart of a RC8T. The SC8 shares many of the same parts, components, and performance with the RC8T. The SC8 comes fully assembled and ready to go. Team Associated’s Pro.28 engine and XP3D Computerized Digital FM Radio system are factory installed. The differentials and shocks come filled with the proper silicone fluids making it faster and easier than ever to get Team Associated SC8 performance out of the box and into the dirt!

Team Associated is the winningest name in R/C cars, having won 22 world championship titles. When we created the SC8, we knew we had made something very special. Although there may not be a title for the SC8 to compete for upon its release, what we have seen is how the SC8 instantly wins over the hearts and captures the imaginations of all the people who have seen it, including the world’s hardest critics, us. And this is how we have the confidence to say that the SC8 is another champion by design.

I must say it looks pretty cool. I'd like one to take up to my local quarry and thrash it to death - I bet it would be COOL

Here's some pics from when they took a bundle out to the full size meet, and it is on preorder at towerhobbies $699






It isn't until you see a guy holding one you realise just how big they are

It's been discussed in the AE forum a bit http://www.oople.com/forums/showthread.php?t=13115

Shame they're not electric.

[b4rs]

thats what i was thinking, dual brushless and lipo. would fly and still pull.

but still its a bargain aslong as it is only around the £350 mark.

[telboy]

What would be REALY cool, is if that frame/rollcage had individual mounting points on it, and the shell comprised of different panels.
So that when they got bashed and smashed the odd panel would come off, just like the real thing!

[b4rs]

yeah lol but what if it got mashed up by another 1/8th tearing down the straight. new panel would be in order. but still kool idea but you would have to fight over whos panel was whos lol.

not that you would telboy, coz im sure youd have a totally different coloured car.
