The RC8Te engineering team has developed a practical design that incorporates the same exceptional strength, durability, cornering capability, jumping ability, and rough track handling that characterize the nitro-powered RC8T. With special features such as a hard-anodized machined chassis, correctly balanced and optimized weight distribution, composite Big Bore shocks featuring 4mm gold shafts, upgraded steering system, and lightweight wheels, every inch of the RC8Te screams high performance and durability.
