Features

New chassis layout featuring two different shorty-style only battery configurations. Both configurations include a centrally mounted center differential and in-line center dogbones for superior drivetrain efficiency and equalized chassis balance.

Configuration 1: Two 2s shorty "saddle pack" for lowest CG and exceptional weight bias

Configuration 2: One 4s shorty for simplified setup and more centralized weight bias over a traditional full length 4s battery

Innovative front-end geometry with reduced kingpin inclination steering blocks places the wheel pivot in the center of the front tire for increased stability and consistent steering through the entire steering throw

Paired with a new wider upper suspension arm pivot

New front upper suspension arm design

Designed to accommodate a wide range of flex and stiffness options.

Optional inserts will be made available for fine tuning flex and stiffness and will fit on the top or bottom of the arm.

Includes a molded "wing" insert for increased front-end downforce.

Uses a replaceable molded hinge pin bushing to reduce slop and increase suspension dynamics

New front lower suspension arm design

Designed to accommodate a wide range of flex and stiffness options. Optional inserts will be made available for fine tuning flex and stiffness

New one-piece anti-roll bar link mounts in-line with the anti-roll bar with a BHCS instead of a shock pin for simplified assembly

Optional inserts mount to the top or bottom face of the arm – racers choice!

New rear suspension arm design

Designed to be of optimal flex and stiffness with no insert. However, optional inserts will be made available for fine tuning flex

Optional inserts will be made available for fine tuning flex and stiffness and will fit on the top or bottom of the arm

New angled one-piece anti-roll bar link is mounted in-line with the anti-roll bar with a BHCS instead of a shock pin for simplified assembly

New rear wing mount has adjustable wing angle shims, significant strength improvements, an aerodynamic shape, and extra clearance for shock position adjustment

Two wing height options are available to tune the rear downforce

Three wing angle positions: 0, -2, and -4 degrees

The improved design also secures the wing mounting nuts so that they will not spin in the mount

The four wing mount screws into the rear tower access from the rear end of the buggy for simplified maintenance

New rear wing has more vertical fins for increased straight-line stability, a taller rear wickerbill height for increased downforce, increased strength in various areas to reduce bending fatigue, and dimples on the backside as a template for cutout holes

Two wing buttons are included for additional tuning options: the first is a traditional one-piece flat button and the second is a vertical stabilizing fin for even more straight-line stability

New rear chassis brace has several design features and flex options

Rear brace is mounted centrally to the gearbox, which reduces material fatigue, centralizes shear forces, and improves the life of rear end drivetrain parts

Has three different chassis flex options using two chassis hole mounting locations

1. Use both screws (most rigid).

2. Use one screw, long location.

3.     Use one screw, short location (most flexible)

The upper brace joint has two flex tuning options at the gearbox

1. With included molded inserts that prevent twisting and only allow flex along the centerline pivot of the brace

2. With optional turnbuckle ball for flex in more degrees of freedom

Removable insert to customize the amount of flex in the brace

More features...

New two-piece clamping motor mounts make for secure mounting and allows for mounting of a 30mm motor fanThe gear mesh is adjusted from the bottom of the chassis, just like on RC8B4

New battery trays with battery stops built in for easy battery position adjustments

New oversized hook and loop straps for simplified and secure battery mounting

New ESC tray with protective shield has two chassis mounting positions – one for each chassis configuration

New receiver box with built in servo mounts has integrated cable routing and increased volume for fitting larger receivers

Wire routing clips included for clean wiring of batteries and motor sensor wire

New side guards have integrated wire routing clips and are over 1 inch narrower than RC8B3.2e

New RC8B4e specific 7075 aluminum hard anodized chassis features updates to strengthen the front and rear droop tab areas, an increased width along kick up area, and accommodations for the electric specific layout.

Includes the RC8B3.2 splitting center bulkhead with a new RC8B4e specific center top plate

New RC8B4e specific front top plate has been updated to fit the new steering geometry and an offset RC8B4 front chassis brace

New steering bellcranks with top-mounted steering rack for extra clearance around gearbox assembly

New aluminum steering rack designed around the updated front end geometry is lightweight and durable

New steering bellcrank nuts are longer to reduce drag from the steering rack under flex

Updated steering servo linkage features a new heavy duty threaded ball and steel screw joint

New A and B blue aluminum suspension arm mounts are shaped to interlock with the RC8B4 chassis

New 7075 aluminum hard anodized chassis features updates to strengthen the front and rear droop tab areas and an increased width along kick up area

New upper suspension arm link mount is significantly wider than RC8B3 series, providing the required geometry for the new reduced KPI steering blocks

New front shock tower has strength improvements and allows for the upper suspension arm insert to be mounted from front side via a recessed pocket, without disassembly of the tower from the gearbox

New RC8B4e specific carbon fiber front top plate with offset front chassis brace

New front chassis brace is the same length as the “short” version from RC8B3 for ideal front end flex

New front body post is recessed into the front top plate and the reversible design is easy to mount

New spring cups and shock rod end design has a locking screw to keep the cups in place during a crash and has improved material; the same tough material as our 1/10 rod ends

New front shock bushings are 1.5mm longer than RC8B3 shock mounts

New rear shock bushings are 4mm longer than RC8B3 shock mounts

Large diameter, Low-Profile SHCS are used throughout the buggy to replace a traditional screw/washer system.

New two-piece rear body post features a rubber grommet to allow some flex to extend the life of the body

New rod ends have improved thread engagement, slotted area for easy turnbuckle wrench access, and are made from a same durable material as our 1:10 rod ends

New longer 5x44mm rear camber link

New +1mm offset rear hub features a symmetrical left and right common design with axle height inserts for adjustable roll center tuning. The standard bearing size used is an 8x16x5mm flanged but the hub will still accept 15x21x4mm bearing for CVA axle tuning options

New CVA axle has a "stub" design with retainer sleeve to capture pin and uses two 8x16x5mm flanged bearings (the same as the RC8B3 universal axle setup)

93mm CVA bones used on all four corners of the buggy

93.5mm front and 104mm rear center dog bones with 14mm pins on are now standard equipment for increased drivetrain efficiency
