Shortly before 5:30 PM at Team Associated's Southern California headquarters, engineer and IFMAR Worlds finalist Kody Numedahl posted a handful of photos to the Facebook group "RC8B3 Nation" showing a sample kit being built on a nice wooden desk.

The photos show a rolling chassis with each module built separately, and then a complete chassis ready to go - without running gear.

Numedahl, who played a large role in the RC8B3 project as well as Ryan Cavalieri's incredible string of podium finishes with the buggy, continued with a quick description of some of the car's neat build features as well as a plea not to begin pestering team manager Brent Thielke about the upcoming availability of production kits.

You have full permission to drool over the photos below, however.
