Team Associated 12R5.2 Factory Team Kit

The RC12R5.2 Factory Team Kit is the next evolutionary step in Associated’s 35 years of 1:12 scale racing history. The RC12R5.2 features the IFMAR World Championship-winning Dynamic Strut front end with adjustable caster and track width. The 12R5.2 further improves the already-proven front end by updating the lower control arms with more accurate mounting for a more precise build every time.
The 12R5.2 continues to use the wide three-point rear pod optimised for fitting brushless motors with beefed rear blue aluminium bulkheads to maximise rigidity and durability. Tying the two bulkheads together is the new carbon fibre motor mount cross-brace to gain further rear end rigidity and durability.

The 12R5.2 is built on a ultra-rigid 2.5mm woven carbon fibre chassis that features a centralized LiPo battery mounting position. Tying the rear end to the chassis is the pivot-ball link rear suspension, which allows for independent adjustments for chassis roll, bump and alignment. New for the 12R5.2 are the refined aluminium side spring retainers that provide easier and more accurate suspension adjustments.
The 12R5.2’s centre shock uses the through-shaft design, giving equalised damping throughout the full stroke of the shock in both directions without any unwanted rebound. Roll is now controlled with the new side damper tubes that offer freer rear pod movement and easier maintenance.
