Key Features

Technical Performance
The Team Associated RC8B4e Receiver Box and ESC Tray is engineered as an integral part of the RC8B4e competition buggy platform, which itself represents a pinnacle of 1/8-scale off-road racing design. This tray system is manufactured to Team Associated's strict quality standards using robust materials that withstand the demands of serious RC car UK competition and bashing. The receiver box provides protection for your radio receiver whilst allowing clear signal reception, whilst the ESC tray offers a secure mounting solution that keeps your speed controller stable and prevents vibration-related connection issues. The design optimises internal space within the RC8B4e chassis, making best use of the available volume whilst maintaining proper clearances around all components. For builders completing a full RC8B4e kit or replacing damaged electronics housing, this component is essential for achieving the professional fit and finish that Team Associated vehicles are renowned for. The tray system is designed to work seamlessly with standard RC receiver sizes and common ESC formats used in modern brushless RC buggies and trucks, ensuring compatibility with your existing electronics or any quality aftermarket components you choose to install.
