Help Identifying My Buggy

[Sumnig66]

So I picked up this buggy in a trade as a roller and sold it but she found its way back to me so I built it up with a Spektrum combo and it's now one of my favorite RCs! In over a year I've never broken a part on it but I would now like to make some mour upgrades. Is there anyone who could tell me what exactly this buggy is?

It's very Team Associatedish too me.

This is a RC8.2e it looks similar. Maybe a different version. Yours also appears to be a nitro e conversion.

Sure looks like the Team Associated RC8.2. Not sure if nitro or electric. Start there.

Yea I believe it was a nitro before I got it

Clearly was a nitro rig at some point. Chassis has the Engine mount adjuster Slotting.
And with all that blue Ano'd alloys, Appeared to be a TA.
DId the RC8B.2 platform come as both E or Nitro??

The rtr? I just glanced at the pics but that looked like it had a lot of plastic parts that were aluminum on yours.

Yeah it appears to have alot of the Factory Team Blue alloy option parts.
Sometimes TA made a Factory Team edition, that included most of the Factory Team Parts in the kit box.
How I bought a few of my Old TA kits back when. It made more sense to spend the extra Coin for the Factory Team Edition Kit if available.
