Remote Control Buggy Appraisal

Team Associated RC8.2e 1/8 Scale Electric Buggy

This is a 1/8 scale electric radio-controlled racing buggy, specifically identified as a Team Associated RC8.2e model based on the distinctive gold-anodized aluminum shock towers and chassis component layout. The vehicle features a robust four-wheel-drive system with a center-mounted brushless motor and a red Electronic Speed Controller (ESC). It is equipped with large-bore aluminum oil-filled shocks and heavy-duty composite suspension arms. The buggy is shown with a black rear wing and two different sets of off-road tires, indicating it has undergone modifications or regular track use. The construction utilizes a mix of hardened plastic, steel drive shafts, and machined aluminum structural plates. Visually, the item shows significant signs of use, including accumulated dirt and grime across the chassis, a coating of dust on the shocks and electronics, and wear on the tire treads. There is no body shell present, exposing the internal components. This model represents a high-performance competition-grade RC racing vehicle from the early-to-mid 2010s, showing a quality level of craftsmanship intended for professional-level off-road racing.
