About the RC8T4.2e Team Electric Truggy Kit

Advanced Suspension & Steering

The updated suspension system improves durability while providing racers with greater tuning flexibility. Molded front and rear suspension arms deliver increased strength, while the molded height-adjustable gearboxes pair with revised shock towers to offer additional body mount height positions. A redesigned 16° KPI steering block with updated bump steer geometry helps deliver more precise steering response and predictable handling through technical sections of the track.

Competition-Tuned Drivetrain

A refined drivetrain is built to maximize efficiency, consistency, and durability during demanding race conditions. The high-volume center differential improves power distribution, while the included 40/9 ring and pinion gear sets provide dependable performance. Universal 131-millimeter driveshafts with 17-millimeter outdrives and both 19-millimeter and 20-millimeter HTC internal differential gear sets give racers multiple setup options to fine-tune drivetrain characteristics for different surfaces.

Factory Team Performance

Race-inspired FT upgrades help enhance reliability and simplify tuning. Hard-anodized aluminum shock bushings, FT hexes, and grooved pins improve durability in high-stress areas, while bladder and emulsion-style shock seals allow multiple shock configurations. An updated rear anti-roll bar with wider mounting points, improved brake pad material with revised brake spring, a molded top plate, and a high-downforce wing complete a package built for competitive off-road racing.
