Every part Team Associated calls out in the RC8 T4.2 and T4.2e build, grouped by the bags AE packs and builds the kit in. AE's current manuals no longer print a parts list, so this one is assembled from the part numbers on each build step of the RC8T4.2 / T4.2e manual, with names from AE's own parts catalog. Part numbers link to AMain Hobbies where the part is still sold; anything AMain does not carry is listed as plain text. Parts for one car only are in their own sections, and AE's store lists for the two kits add the tuning options and spares.
