Team Associated Announces new RC8 1/8-scale buggy and team
Please note that the above is a graphic and not the RC8
From Team Associated:
Team Associated Announces 1/8th Offroad Race Team
Costa Mesa, CA – January 1, 2007 – As the dawn of a New Year breaks, Team
Associated has drawn on the knowledge of its unprecedented 20 IFMAR World
Championships to create the highly anticipated Factory Team RC8. This is
Associated’s first venture into 1/8th scale offroad racing and they are looking to make
an immediate impact.
Set to lead the Worldwide racing campaign for the RC8 are current ROAR 1/8th Scale
National Champion, Ryan Maifield, two-time IFMAR World Champion Ryan
Cavalieri and multi-time U.S. National Champion, Richard Saxton. In addition,
ROAR “A” main finalist JR Mitch and Kyle Skidmore will focus on regional events
and select National contests in the United States.
Joining these drivers, with the support of CML Distributing, are current IFMAR World
Champion, Neil Cragg and “Mr. Everything” Craig Drescher. Also representing
Team Associated and the RC8, with the assistance of Thunder Tiger Europe, are
EFRA European Champions Peter Pinisch and Jörn Neumann.
Look for all these drivers and more to start competing with the Factory Team RC8 in
early 2007 at major events near you. Stay logged on to www.teamassociated.com
for more information as it becomes available.

I'm actually wondering how many cues from the thunder tiger buggies will show up on the new AE ride. The two brands definitly have ties. I believe that Thunder Tiger actually owns associated these days.

since thunder tiger owns team associated i hope it won't be a version base on the EB4-S3 it is not a good car and isn't on par with others in 1/8 scale.i have owned and raced alot of team asscociated vehicles.i want this one because there passion for winning and making great cars is is top priority.i am keeping my fingers crossed.......

FINALLY! It's about time. Maybe now that my favorite radio control car manufacturer is making an 1/8 scale buggy, I'll get one!
