Team Associated RC12R8 1:12 Electric On-Road Kit AS4023

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.

• Hybrid Steel and Carbon-Fiber Center Chassis: Centralizes weight for an ultra-low center of gravity and optimized handling balance.
• 2mm 7075-T6 Aluminum Lower Spring Chassis: Provides a rigid, precise foundation for consistent suspension performance.
• Triple Central Pivot “No-Tweak” Design: Eliminates traditional pod tweak while maximizing cornering rigidity and chassis consistency.
• Dual Rotary Rear Dampers: Delivers smooth, controlled damping while maintaining the lowest possible center of gravity.
• Four Rear Spring Configurations: Provides an extensive range of heave and pitch-control adjustments for varying track conditions.
• Easy Rear Up Stop and Down Stop Adjustment: Allows quick and precise tuning of rear up stop and down stop settings.
• 7075-T6 Aluminum Front Spring Damper Hubs: Provides high rigidity, precise suspension movement, and exceptional durability.
• Comprehensive Front-End Adjustment System: Integrates easy screw-based droop adjustment, adjustable Ackermann geometry with plates, threaded ride-height collars, and a camber lever system to provide fast, precise, and fully accessible tuning of the car’s front suspension.
• All-New Factory Team Adjustable Servo Saver: Provides adjustable servo saver stiffness while maintaining the steering precision and servo holding power required to compete at the highest level.
• Ultra-Lightweight Hybrid Spool Axle: Combines aluminum and steel construction to reduce rotating mass while maintaining strength and durability.
• Aerodynamic TPU Front Bumper: Supports the outer corners of the body to increase front aerodynamic load while providing effective impact protection.
