Features:
- RC8T4e chassis layout featuring two saddle pack-style battery configurations. Both configurations include a centrally mounted center differential and in-line center driveshafts for superior drivetrain efficiency and equalized chassis balance.
- Four battery configurations to choose from: --Two 2S shorty LiPo batteries for lowest CG and exceptional weight bias --Two full size "saddle pack" LiPo batteries for lowest CG and exceptional weight bias --One 4S shorty LiPo battery for simplified setup and more centralized weight bias --One full size LiPo battery for simplified setup and more centralized weight bias.
- Innovative front-end geometry with 8 degree steering blocks are paired with a wider upper suspension arm pivot for improved steering balance and predictable handling in all conditions.
- RC8T4e gearboxes are specific to front and rear with larger bearing sizes resulting in longer life of ring and pinion gears: Front gearbox is a 3.5 degree inclined pinion gear angle to straighten the center driveshaft for increased drivetrain efficiency and reduced phasing and vibration. Rear gearbox is a 0 degree pinion gear angle and a center mounted rear chassis brace.
- V2 front shock tower design with updated suspension geometry and body mount positions for all styles of truck bodies.
- Front and rear center dogbone driveshafts for improved drivetrain efficiency and durability.
- Front upper suspension arm updated to have bushing insert for improved fitment and performance.
- RC8B4 rear wing mount has adjustable wing angle shims, significant strength improvements, an aerodynamic shape, and extra clearance for shock position adjustment.
- The adjustable rear wing has more vertical fins for increased straight-line stability, a taller rear lip height for increased downforce, and increased strength in various areas to reduce bending fatigue.
- RC8B4 rear chassis brace is mounted centrally to the gearbox, which reduces material fatigue, centralizes shear forces, and improves the life of rear-end drivetrain parts. There are three different chassis flex options using two chassis hole mounting locations and an optional turnbuckle ball for flex in more degrees of freedom.
- +2 mm and +4 mm shock rod ends for finer adjustment of droop and up-travel settings.
- 35.5 mm front and 44.5 mm rear shock shafts for improved dampening
- RC8B4 rear hub features a symmetrical left and right common design with axle height inserts for adju
