Associated RC8T Factory Team

TQing all four rounds of qualifying, Team Associateds RC8T Factory Team kit took first place at the 2009 ROAR Nationals! Driven by Ryan Maifield and powered by the Reedy 121VR .21 competition engine, the RC8T performed as it was designed to and brought home the big win!

Inspired by this achievement, Associated is proud to introduce the RC8T Factory Team Championship Edition Kit.
