16-degree KPI front end

Team Associated RC8B4.1 Team Kit · 80949

This changes the front suspension and steering geometry with a matched 16-degree kingpin-inclination package. Associated describes it as calmer around straight-ahead steering and steadier through bumps, making it a setup choice when the standard response feels too sharp.

Installation notes

  • The 81675 kit supplies the matching front shock tower, steering blocks and upper-link mount for the RC8B4.1 buggy.
  • Associated describes the 16-degree KPI layout as less responsive around steering center and steadier through bumps and chop. Choose it for that steering character.
  • Keep this buggy package separate from truggy and RC8B4.2 front ends, which use different geometry or towers.
