Awesomatix A12X 1:12 Electric Pan Car Kit

Awesomatix introduces not one, but two new 12-series kits, the A12WC and the A12X.

The first is a refined version of the earlier A12 kit, which was first introduced during the 2020 World Championship and with which Awesomatix team boss Max Mächler was recently crowned IFMAR Spec World Champion.

The A12WC kit incorporates the proven A12 concept where the rear suspension action is controlled by the flex of the chassis itself, supported by a pair of side coil springs that also act as an additional rear spring.

The chassis shape is new and has been refined to further improve flex distribution while integrating the rear strut.

The latter kit, designated A12X, has a slightly more traditional 12 scale design, with the side and rear springs acting independently. This is achieved by a built-in coil spring in the rear damper and new side coil springs positioned at the very front of the chassis. The new steel chassis lowers the center of gravity even further and allows for a narrower and slimmer overall design.

Common to both kits is a new engine mount design fitted into the chassis that further improves the vehicle's torsional rigidity and makes it virtually bulletproof in the event of a hard crash, a new battery plate coupled with a new front suspension plate that allows for a wider range of rollover centers, new left and right rear hubs that allow for more accurate and reliable mounting for a wider range of wheels, and two new tools for precise adjustment during the build and fine-tuning of the vehicle setup.

In addition, both kits retain the same front-end concept as the original A12, with quick camber adjustments through rotating steering columns, coil front springs and multiple front damping configurations controlled by O-rings and/or different grease viscosities, while front caster adjustments are achieved through optional steering columns.

Awesomatix A12X Features:

- New rear/side suspension system with side coil springs and independent center rear coil spring that do not interfere with each other. The vertical stiffness of the rear nacelle can be adjusted without affecting the lateral roll stiffness. The lateral roll stiffness of the rear nacelle can be adjusted without affecting the vertical stiffness.

- New battery plate - updated for the installation of different roll center sets and for the new side suspension system.

- New steel chassis with integrated rear strut. The steel material ensures a particularly low center of gravity and reduced width.

- New lightweight steering columns.

- New engine mount and left bulkhead with "keyed" mounting bolts to prevent slippage in the event of a collision.

- New rear damper with "built-in" rear spring.

- New rear strut that works together with the new rear spring unit.

- New front suspension plate - updated for installation of different rollover centers.

- New left and right rear axle hubs with increased contact area for more stable wheels.

- Three new tools in the kit - 6/7mm wrench, 1.5mm hex wrench and rear suspension adjustment gauge.

 Awesomatix A12WC Features:

- Same proven rear/side spring system as the A12.

- Updated side spring mounting system and new body/spring retainers for easier switching between narrow and wide side spring positions.

- New battery plate - updated for installation of different roll center sets.

- New aluminum chassis with updated flex distribution including the rear strut.

- New lightweight steering block supports.

- New engine mount and left bulkhead with "keyed" mounting bolts to prevent slippage in the event of a crash.

- New stiffer and stronger rear strut.

- New front suspension plate - updated for installation of different rollover centers.

- New left and right rear axle hubs with increased contact area for more stable wheels.

- Two new tools in the kit - 6/7mm wrench and the gauge for rear suspension adjustments.
