Pushing The Boundaries!

1:8 scale off road racing is one of the hobby’s most challenging disciplines; it requires a high standard and demands attention to detail. The latest development to come from Associated Electrics’ Area 51 is designed to push boundaries of performance and build upon the number of accolades accumulated by the RC8 series.

Team Associated rc8b4e Team Kit 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:
