Description
The Team Associated RC12R8 Kit (part number AS4023) is a 1:12 scale, two-wheel-drive electric on-road racing kit developed by Area 51 for top-level competition. It is built around a very low centre of gravity, a rigid structure and fast, precise adjustability, and it is supplied as a kit that the builder assembles.
The car uses a dual chassis design. A hybrid steel and carbon fibre centre chassis is paired with a 2 mm 7075-T6 aluminium lower spring chassis. A new triple central pivot layout is intended to remove tweak and increase cornering rigidity, giving consistent handling without the complexity of traditional rear pod designs.
At the rear, dual rotary dampers keep the weight low, and four spring configurations allow heave and pitch control to be adjusted for different track conditions. The rear up stop and down stop can be changed quickly. At the front, droop is set with a screw, Ackermann is changed with plates, ride height is set with threaded collars and camber is adjusted with a lever system. The front spring damper hubs are 7075-T6 aluminium, and the factory team servo saver has adjustable stiffness.
A hybrid aluminium and steel spool axle reduces rotating mass, which helps acceleration and responsiveness. A stiff TPU front bumper protects the car and supports the outer corners of the body to increase front aerodynamic load.

Specifications
Team Associated introduces the RC12R8, an all-new 1:12 scale electric on-road racing platform developed by Area 51 for top-level competition. Built around an ultra-low center of gravity, exceptional rigidity, and fast, precise adjustability, the RC12R8 features a dual chassis design combining hybrid steel and carbon fiber center chassis with a 2mm 7075-T6 aluminum lower spring chassis. Its all-new triple central pivot design eliminates tweak while maximizing cornering rigidity, providing consistent handling and precise chassis feel without the complexity of traditional rear pod designs.
The RC12R8 also features a dual rotary damper rear suspension with four spring configurations for precise heave and pitch control, while the Advanced Front End offers extensive adjustment for droop, Ackerman, ride height, and camber. An ultra-lightweight hybrid aluminum and steel spool axle reduces rotating mass for improved acceleration and responsiveness, and a stiff TPU bumper provides protection while supporting increased front aerodynamic load. Designed as a complete, integrated system, the RC12R8 delivers the precision, consistency, durability, and low-center-of-gravity performance needed to compete at the highest levels of 1:12 racing.
