Seen at this weeks ROAR 1/8th scale buggy Nationals at Thunder Alley in Beaumont, California, are these big bore shock absorbers on the Associated RC8. Currently being used by the factory team at this race, they are close to release pending some final parts getting produced. Also seen on some of the team cars, is new steering geometry, which combined with the new shocks increase corner speed and improve rough track handling. New from Reedy is a yet unnamed proprietary .21 engine in the final stages of testing and is being run by Rick Hohwart and Scott Brown at this event.

Nice design cooling head!! :clap: :thumbs_up:

i agree :drool:

Looks like a Mugen head!!!! :P ;) :thumbs_up:

love the shocks but im not like the engine head to much..

I knew all about the Shocks..... They're off the Forthcoming RC8T....


:thumbs_up: :thumbs_up: :thumbs_up:

is it me or when i see the engine do i think of liquids/fuel pooling up round the middle as the fins would make it runs in to the centre? :joker: still i gues it's innovative :thumbs_up:

If it did, it would only serve to help the cooling process. And the shape of the fins should pull air down towards the centre!!

Its a really good design!! :clap: :thumbs_up:

true, true :thumbs_up:
