Team Associated modeled the SC8e race truck after Curt, Kyle, and Todd LeDuc’s short-course race trucks you see racing in the Lucas Oil Off Road Racing Series. Armed with drawings of the actual 1/1 short-course race trucks, the Associated design team was able to reproduce the scale specs in the compact package of the SC8e. It’s all there - the scale suspension travel, roll-cage tube diameter, even the functional mud flaps mirror the real thing! This is the first 1/8 scale electric 4WD short-course race truck to include high-performance features like the Mamba Max Pro brushless electronic speed control with the Neu-Castle 2200kV brushless motor, all digitally controlled by the Associated XP3-SS 2.4GHz 3-channel radio system. The result is the SC8e RTR, where jaw-dropping scale realism meets race-bred high performance. Associated didn’t stop with the Rockstar livery and brutal horsepower...Team Associated has proven the performance and durability of the SC8e RTR in R/C Car Action’s 24-Hour Thrash Test! A box stock SC8e was driven for over 375 miles at race speed through rugged off-road terrain for 24 consecutive hours! This would have been a brutal test for any R/C vehicle, but the SC8e RTR endured 375 miles of dirt with the original electronics, suspension, drive train and body intact. With only one tire change throughout the run, this was truly an amazing accomplishment and testament to the durability of the SC8e RTR!
