Team Associated RC8.2 Build

I have the pleasure of building and reviewing Team Associated’s new RC8.2 nitro buggy. This is the A-Team’s latest and greatest and, thankfully, they included a slew of support parts to complete the build. I will be using the following items:
• Reedy 121R-ST .21 Competition Engine
• Reedy EFRA approved Muffler and Header
• Reedy 1700mAh LiFe Receiver Battery Pack
• Team Associated XP DS1313 Throttle Servo and XP DS1015 Steering Servo

I will be running Byrons Fuels in this buggy. Follow along my buildup with the final review at the end of the series.
