TEAM ASSOCIATED RC8

The A-Team is ready for total world dominance
WORDS KEVIN HETMANSKI PHOTOS HOPE McCALL
For years, Associated has offered vehicles for nearly every racing class with one glaring exception: 4WD buggies. All that changed this year when it debuted the instant-World Champion B44 electric buggy and the all-new RC8-scale nitro buggy, reviewed here for the first time. As we revealed in the June issues Secrets of the RC8, the RC8 is full of new thinking and innovations that belie its seemingly conventional layout. But how does it work on the track? With a freshly minted, factory-built RC8 buggy on my workbench, and ready for my electronics and engine, we finally find out.

DRIVE TIME

TEST SPOT RC MADNESS ENFIELD, CT RCMADNESS.COM get through it, you couldnt line up quickly enough to put the power down to clear the big kicker. I made plenty of mistakes through that roller section and had to attack the kicker with little runup often through the day. The clutch kicked in quickly and positively, and I was surprised to see the RC8 make it to the other side. I kicked back on the throttle over the smaller jumps, as the RC8 was overshooting them with ease. SUPER STEERING It only took a few seconds to see that this buggy has all the steering you could want. In
POWERFUL PUNCH Dont be alarmed if the RC8s clutch slips during the first lap or two; once the clutch shoes and clutch bell scuff up and the springs relax, youll have the gift of grab. The clutch sticks well to give the RC8 plenty of grunt, so my Pro-Line Crime Fighters could get the full benefit of the Novarossi powerplant I installed. I had to ease up on the throttle coming out of the turns because I was running into the back of cars in front of me and hitting them hard. The clutch really shone on the large kicker jump at the end of the straight. Theres a set of four rollers just before it, and if you didnt 124 RCCARACTION.COM
fact, the RC8 has the most steering that Ive ever felt in an 1 8-scale buggy. It took me a while to get used to the impressive steering, and I found myself cutting the corners way to tightly when off power. The RC8 likes to be driven hard into the corners and carries lots of speed in the turns. A slight on-power push will happen no matter which buggy you drive. On plenty of track sections I didnt even try to slow the RC8 down before entering a turn, and it carved them up with ease. I actually dialed out some steering to numb the car up a bit so I could drive it. Its a little too precise for my driving style right now; Ill dial in more as I get wheel time.

SUSPENSION SORTING The RC8s suspension is setup for good allaround performance, but as with any race car, youll need to make a few setup changes to get the most out of your machine. Once I was used to the track layout, I saw that the rear end was getting kicked around over some of the smaller jumps and bumps, which made it hard to setup for the obstacles afterwards. I moved in the bottom of the rear shocks to soften up the rear a bit, and that made a big difference. The RC8 barrel-rolled a few times when entering a turn off a jump, and most of the time, the buggy ended up on the tires. I fixed it by installing the lighter swaybars in the front and rear. Jumping the RC8 is a pleasure; it flies through the air perfectly. You could

and brake bias is very easy to adjust thanks to the large-diameter adjusters, and having both linkages on top of the center diff plates helps to give you better access to both linkages. The brakes grabbed well with no signs of fading during my day of testing.
almost hear classical music playing as it flew 15 feet in the air off the kicker. The unique suspension geometry was very effective in soaking up jump landings, and midair corrections were easily made to downside jump faces. GREAT BRAKES Acceleration and speed are great, but a buggy is nothing without effective brakes. I was excited by the RC8s system as soon as I saw it on the chassis. You cant go wrong with a combination of a fiber material wrapped around a chunk of metal. Those brake discs are grippy, and it doesnt take much throw of the servo arm to lock them up. I like to run a little more rear brake than front brake to help the car pivot through the turns,

UNDER THE HOOD

NOVAROSSI PLUS 21-5K TEST ENGINE
A buggy such as the RC8 deserves a powerful mill; thats why I went with a Novarossi Plus 21-5K engine. According to Fusion Motorsports Jim Hottinger, distributor of Novarossi, the Plus was designed to run on less than 25% nitro, which lowers the engines operating cost (20% nitro is cheaper than 30%). You can purchase a standard or turbo-head engine configuration, which will give two different power bands. Inside, youll find a micro cast piston that, according to Novarossi, maintains better compression at higher temperatures. The piston rides inside a 5-port sleeve, and the carb sucks air and fuel through an 8mm venturi. Novarossi includes 7.5, 7, 6.5 and 6mm inserts to fine-tune the engines power. A two-piece head design with vented fins increase the heads surface area and shaves a few grams. The piston and sleeve fit at top dead center is very tight until the engine is broken in, so make sure your starter box has a good charge on it!

Perfect steering geometry
Team Associated gives you the option of mounting your steering servo on vertically or horizontally. Laying the servo down lowers the cars center of gravity (can you really tell?), but standing it up makes for perfect steering-linkage alignment between the servo arm and the bellcrank. The servos are mounted on a carbonfiber plate, and the servo mounts double as standoffs and supports the plate. A roomy radio box makes it easy to install the rest of the radio gear. You can easily fit a standard-size receiver and receiver pack, and theres enough room to fit a flat or a hump-type pack; the choice is up to you.

Spiral-cut ring and pinions
The RC8 uses three gear diffs to get the power to the ground. Theyre pretty much standard stuff; bevel-gear internals with six gears, O-rings and gasket seals to keep the silicone fluid inside. Spiral-cut ring and pinion gears on the front and rear diffs are the unique feature. Spiral-cut gears provide a much smoother and stronger drive, and allow for a very compact ring gear while maintaing ample surfae area for the teeth. The A-Team didnt stop at the gears; they made the RC8s drivetrain extra durable by adding captured CV pins, rubber seals around the rear universal joints and Nylock axle nuts.
The ring and pinion gears are spiral-cut for stronger and smoother operation.

Laydown shocks

The hub carriers are open on one side, which allows you to easily remove the hubs, and the wheel nuts have nylon inserts to keep them in place during operation.
The RC8s shocks are mounted on small risers that move their pivot points to just above the arm, which cants the tops of the shocks inward. This laydown position performs like a conventional shock configuration, but lowers the RC8s center of gravity and allows the use of smaller, lighter and more flex-resistant shock towers. Instead of thick aluminum slabs, lightweight carbon-fiber towers secure the shocks with no loss of strength or rigidity. A ll you lose is weight. JANUARY 2008 127

BEHIND THE DESIGN WITH KURT WENGER
Kurt is a Senior Engineer in charge of offroad research and development at Team Associated. His first project at Team Associated was the B4 and he also had his hand in the T4, GT2, RC8, and B44. 18 years of racing have given him the knowledge necessary to come up with designs for all of those great vehicles. We sat down with Kurt to get the low down on the RC8.

RCCA: How momentous was the decision to offer the RC8 as a preassembled car rather than as a kit? Kurt: It was pretty big, and we got the whole company involved by getting as much input as we could. We asked around the office, How many cars do you have that you want to race, but theyre still sitting in the box? The folks who work here are enthusiasts, but people are busier these days, and this kind of thing happens. It could also be that we get RCd out. We might be the extreme case, and in other places, everyone is very excited to get their vehicle and put it together so they can run it. We had a long talk about
the pros and the cons, and in the end, we felt that if we did it right in the way that Richard [Saxton] and I would build a kitwed have an end product thats better built for 99 out of 100 people who would otherwise build it themselves. RCCA: How much of a highquality factory-assembly job comes from the pats simply being designed well? Im sure the assembly line guys dont have time to hand-fit parts. Kurt: A lot of detail is put into the car to make sure the suspension rides smoothly. One of the common things when you screw the droop screws into the arms is that it makes the plastic swell out, and that can bind the suspension. When we build the cars, we actually put the droop screw in the arms and run a reamer through the hingepin holes to make sure the customer gets a premium build. Thats just one example, but in many places the car goes together well. One problem we find when using soft materials is that they are more likely to warp, and its hard to get everything to fit perfectly. Thats one example where we go the extra mile. The gearbox and everything are an awesome fit. Every bug had been worked out of it with the Thunder Tiger Program and ST-1. We spent a lot of time getting the case and other things aligned, and the gears are aligned properly. The car is really nice out of the box, and when you run it a few times, it gets even better. RCCA: The RC8s unusual shock geometry and graphite shock towers set it apart from other buggies. Was there any concern over not doing what everyone knows and accepts, or is the philosophy to do what you know will work better and then educate the buyer? Kurt: We kind of went halfway on that. As far as the shock geometry and the towers, it was obvious we had to go with what we thought would be better. We actually slightly changed the shape of the front carbon tower from our original design, and things have been pretty much bullet-proof, but were still going to offer a 5mm CNC aluminum tower in the catalog for the guy who has to have aluminum. RCCA: It seems that a lot of the RC8s features could have been born out of a what bugs us about 18-scale buggies

TEAM ASSOCIATED RC8 Front and rear heatsink brakes
The RC8 uses two fiber disc brakes to slow the big buggy down, and they feature an aluminum skeleton inside that dissipates heat while using them to prevent the discs from warping from excessive heat. Knurled collars on the servo end of the linkages allow you to easily twist the linkage to adjust front and rear brake bias. Both linkages are found on top of the center diff plate for easy access, and small fingers on the brake linkage bushings keep the linkages from over-extending while on the throttle and binding the brakes. The center diff mount is split down the middle, so you can remove the center diff without messing up your brake settings.
conversation. Was that part of the process? Kurt: You have the guys who design the cars, and you go out and build the cars and design them and use them; being enthusiasts, we use the product and then say, I dont like this I like that this is a pain in the butt to work on yadda, yadda, yadda. So just for me, it becomes second nature. Using the product, we just start to pick stuff apart. We are really critical. RCCA: Whats your favorite feature? Im all about those locking axle nuts. Kurt: Golly jeepers; my number-one peev was its so hard to keep a buggy running without having the CVD pin fly and running them and pushing them to the max, youll soon discover if there is any durability problem, and so we did that. A lot of it was finding the right springs, shock oil and pistons. There came a time when we hit the stop button and said, this is going to be our setup. Weve tried a bunch of things since then, and the setups are on the website. There are just so many adjustments and things to try. The mold is already made, so youre like, this is what weve got to work with. RCCA: There are so many adjustments on a race car that its easy to be bewildered by the staggering array of changes you can make. It must be 10 times harder for you guys during the design process: you can put 100 holes anywhere you
BEFORE WE MADE A MOLD OF ANYTHING, WE MADE A PROTOTYPE. AND THEN WE SAID, THIS IS WHAT WE WANT: LETS RUN IT AND TEST IT INTO THE GROUND
out. For me, that was my personal nemesis. And so we have captured pins on all of the universal joints. It was one of my biggest headaches, and my other headache was trying to work on the other buggy clutches. Its OK to put it together, but when the time comes to take it apart, its a pain. The spring is buried down halfway across the shoe and is hard to get to. We came up with a much simpler design and used it on the TC3 and GT2. Thunder Tiger saw that and made an S3 clutch that used the springs in the same way. Then it sort of evolved; we did a little more testing and found the correct shoe weight and the right size and got everything right for the aluminum clutch to work properly. Part of that was inserting the Teflon shim under the shoe so it wont hang up on the flywheel. So the work we did on the clutch makes it a lot less of a nightmare. Anyway, those are my fave two. My favorite aesthetic design on the car is the wing and its mount. I think that system is really cool. RCCA: How much refinement comes from team-driver testing? Is a new car typically 85% there, and The Teams input and setup brings it to 100%? Or is it a smaller margin? Kurt: The only thing we did when the RC8 went to the race team was to tell them, here are the adjustments we can use. Our plan was just to use that time to develop our basic setup, and to do the best with the car as designed. Getting more cars out there want. How hard is it just to zero in on those initial settings before you start shooting the parts in plastic? Kurt: We took what we had learned, and before we made a mold of anything, we made a whole complete car. Prototype, I mean. We kind of hodgepodged some parts and basically built a whole car. And then we said, this is what we want: lets run it and test it into the ground, and test as many setups as we can, and compare them with whichever car out there that we think is the best. We then went from there. So that kind of thing was done way before we started the tooling. RCCA: Is there anything else youd like to add? Kurt: Yes, Id also like to give credit to senior engineer Torrance DeGuzman and Richard Saxton for their input into the design of the RC8. RCCA: You got it Kurt, its in there.

These brakes are dialed! The discs are fiber units with an aluminum struture inside to help dissipate heat.

Easy-to-install clutch

For many, installing a clutch is the last thing they want to do because the spring has to be installed onto the pin with the clutch shoe, and somehow you have to get the spring to clear the clutch nut. Thats not the case here. The RC8 has three aluminum clutch shoes, and they are cut similar to the ones used in the gas truck. The springs are installed over the clutch shoes and are very easy to clip onto the clutch nut. This makes adjustment and clutch maintenance easy.
All it takes is a glance to see the RC8s clutch is much easier to assemble than traditional designs.

Tires Tire glue
Since the RC8 Factory Built comes assembled, there isnt much to tell you about putting it together. Team Associated leaves the engine, servos and tires out of the mix, so you can choose what is best for you and the track you run on. Here are a few tips to make your RC8 a little more reliable and easier to work on. imperfections from the surfaces and have a better bond between the tires and the rims. BEND THE BODY CLIPS The small body clips that hold on the radio boxs lid are difficult to remove because theyre hard reach and grip. Remove the clips, and bend the round end slightly to raise them off the box surface. This will enable you to grip them better and remove them more easily. CAPTURE THE NUTS Some of the RC8s parts are molded to hold locknuts in place while you install the screws, so theres no need for you to use pliers or a nut driver to hold them. But the nuts slide out easily when the screw isnt there to hold them. Go through the buggy before you work on it, and place a dab of silicone on the edge of the nuts to prevent them from sliding out. The silicone is flexible enough to allow you to remove the nuts later if you must.

Custom paint

SWITCH MOUNTING When mounting your switch, make sure that its on position faces the front of the buggy. That way, theres no chance of the switch shutting off if you have a hard, head-on hit. PROPER RIM PREP Since theres only a small lip on the RC8s rims, pay close attention to surface prep before you glue the tires in place. Scuff up the rims mating surfaces and the tires with a small piece of sandpaper, and clean them with motor spray. Youll remove any residue or
Rating the Team Associated RC8
When Team Associated comes out with a new highend race-anything, its expected to be goodand the RC8 delivers. This buggy has impressed me in all areas; it looks great, it comes assembled, and it eats up the track. You can expect to see the RC8 at the top of the podium at lots of races. I think the factorybuilt RC8 will get racers on the track quicker (and with a better-built car, in some cases) and may even convert a few racing veterans to let The Team do the building so they can do more racing. 132 RCCARACTION.COM
