The subsequent evolution of the 2022 IFMAR World Champion-winning RC8B4 is upon us. Staff Related engineers sought to decrease the CG, cut back weight, and enhance dealing with on un-groomed outside tracks. In consequence, the brand new RC8B4.1 RWB chassis design has a stiffer tapered profile for predictable high-speed dealing with, permitting for a softer general shock bundle. The suspension is overhauled with new entrance and rear low-CG shock towers and shorter shocks, together with new 3-hole rear suspension arms that enable for softer shocks and comes whereas nonetheless sustaining assist within the quick turns. The brand new extensive base rear hubs are available in three fastened axle heights and use 3mm carbon fiber hub towers to permit a number of totally different geometry choices. Lastly, the buggy comes with 92mm common joints, 44/13 bevel gears, and a 47T spur gear for essentially the most grip and smoothest energy supply on un-groomed outside tracks.
