Team Associated RC12L 1:12 re-release

With Team Associated fans living in hope that the American brand would re-enter the 1:12 competition market after its return to touring car last year with the TC8, it looks like they will have to be content with a re-release for now with the announcement of that the 1986 RC12L is back in production.  The RC12L is one of the most legendary 1:12 electric on-road pan cars ever produced was originally released in 1983 and was designed by Roger Curtis (RC) and Gene Husting as an evolution of the RC12E.  It introduced a lighter, stiffer chassis and refined suspension geometry that gave racers unprecedented corner speed and precision.  The “L,” attributed to both “LOSI”, after Gil Losi Jr., who designed the all-new ball joint Tbar/rear pod, and “Linear” reflecting its smooth, predictable handling that quickly became the new benchmark in competitive 1:12-scale racing.  The re-release is true reproduction of the original RC12 released in 1986.
