THIS ITEM HAS BEEN DISCONTINUED

Associated’s on road foray began with the RC12e 1:12 scale electric on road car. This simple and straightforward design won the ROAR Nationals in 1978, 1979, 1980 and 1981. Then came the RC12i, which then won the 1982 and 1984 World Championships as well as the 1983 and 1985 ROAR Nationals. In 1986 we introduced the RC12L, which won two World Championships and four ROAR Nationals on its own merit. The RC12L has been refined through the RC12LW and into the current RC12LS and has won two more World Championships and three more ROAR National titles.

The RC12LW was the first refinement of the RC12L. Here the batteries were moved closer to the centerline of the car, resulting in more responsive steering (which was most apparent in the "S" curves of the race track). We have now progressed to the RC12LS (Suspension) graphite chassis kit. This was the first kit to include our new Dynamic Strut Front Suspension, which improves steering and stability. Currently, the RC12LC is the latest in a line of race-winning cars!

Team Associated’s RC12LC is the production version of the car that Masami Hirosaka used to win the 1996/97 IFMAR 1:12 scale On Road World Championships.

We added a front end cross brace and used a new front end material. This makes the front end more rigid and more precise. The batteries were moved closer to the centerline, and a fiberglass roll over antenna was added to the new lightweight antenna/shock mount.

RC12LC Features

Team Associated RC12LC The new rear axle allows you to change the right wheel without having to readjust the diff each time. To go with these successful features, Cliff Lett and the rest of our design team have relocated the dampener pivot post for more consistent performance. You also have dampener inserts to limit roll movement for quicker directional changes.

Team Associated RC12LC The rear chassis brace and T-bar have been redesigned and a T-bar brace was added. It also comes with a new precision lightweight left rear bulkhead for accurate bearing alignment. The redesigned upper and lower pod plates along with the left bulkhead make it easier to install, remove and solder in the motor.

Team Associated RC12LC The proven features that come with the RC12LC include our Dynamic Strut front end, Delta shock, S2 rear axle assembly, and dished one piece wheels.
