Overview
The Team Associated RC8T4e Team Competition Kit with Gearbox Upgrade represents the pinnacle of 1/8 scale electric truggy engineering. Developed by Associated Electrics' Area 51 design team, this professional-level platform is built to handle the extreme demands of 1/8 scale truck racing—the highest stress discipline in the RC hobby. The included gearbox upgrade absolutely bulletproofs the RC8T4 drivetrain, featuring a completely redesigned 40/9 ring and pinion with massive teeth for more engagement and skip-free performance.
Team Associated driver Spencer Rivkin used this upgraded platform to win the 2024 ROAR Electric Truck National Title, pushing his truck to the maximum without ever worrying about drivetrain durability. The RC8T4e combines the stability and presence of a truggy with the efficiency and responsiveness of electric power, making it ideal for high-grip tracks, large jumps, and demanding race conditions.
Key Features
- NEW upgraded 40/9 ring and pinion with massive teeth for more engagement
- RC8B4 front and rear gearboxes with high-stiffness polymer for tightest fit
- RC8T4e chassis layout with two saddle-pack battery configurations
- Centrally mounted center differential with in-line center driveshafts
- Four battery configuration options (2S shorty, full saddle, 4S shorty, full size)
- Innovative 8° steering blocks with wider upper suspension arm pivot
- V2 front shock tower with updated suspension geometry
- Front and rear center dogbone driveshafts for improved efficiency
- RC8B4 rear wing mount with adjustable angle shims
- Adjustable rear wing with vertical fins for straight-line stability
- RC8B4 rear chassis brace with three flex options
- 16mm shocks with V2 springs and combination bleeder/emulsion caps
- V3 differentials with HTC gear sets
- 35.5mm front and 44.5mm rear shock shafts
Performance Benefits
- Bulletproof gearbox upgrade handles extreme power and stress
- ROAR National Championship-winning platform
- Centrally mounted center diff optimizes chassis balance
- In-line center driveshafts provide superior drivetrain efficiency
- Improved steering balance with 8° steering blocks

Drivetrain Technology
The RC8T4e's front gearbox features a 3.5° inclined pinion gear angle to straighten the center driveshaft, reducing phasing and vibration. The rear gearbox uses a 0° pinion gear angle with center-mounted rear chassis brace. Both gearboxes feature larger bearing sizes for extended component life and the updated high-stiffness polymer ensures the tightest possible screw and bearing fit.
