Out of the box, The RC8B3.1 features the H.T.C. (High Torque
Capacity) differentials with increased fluid capacity and a more
consistent feel lap after lap. Precision CVA drive shafts are included
front and rear to keep suspension travel free through the entire stroke,
and power transfer is provided by an easy-to-maintain, 4-shoe clutch.
The RC8B3.1 has been thoroughly revamped with all of the performance
upgrades that led the AE Factory Team to a stand-out year in the 1/8
category, with multiple wins including a national championship!
The RC8B3.1's suspension and drive-train package is bolted to a
hard-anodized 7075-T6 aluminum chassis designed for optimum weight
distribution, ground clearance, and better overall handling. As a
result, the RC8B3.1 Team Kit changes directions faster, and is more
compliant and stable in rough terrain.
All of these improvements resulted in a car that is easier to drive,
more consistent lap after lap, and suits a wider variety of tracks.
Designed to handle, built to win.
The RC8B3.1 was designed by 1/8 scale racers for 1/8 scale
racers, and delivers high performance that will help put you on the
podium.
