Awesomatix A12X & A12WC Pan Car kits

In an exciting week of news of new 1:12 cars, Awesomatix has just released not one but two new versions of its A12.  The first of these, the A12WC, is a refined version of the previous A12 kit firstly introduced during the 2020 World Championship and recently crowned IFMAR Spec World Champion in the hands of Awesomatix’s team manager Max Mächler.  The A12WC kit includes the proven A12 concept where the rear spring action is controlled by the flexing of the chassis itself assisted by a pair of coil  side springs that also act as an additional rear spring.  The chassis shape is new and has been refined to further enhance the flex distribution while also incorporating the rear brace.  The second released, named A12X, brings its design slightly more towards traditional 12th scale cars where side and rear spring actions are independent. This is achieved thanks to a built-in coil spring inside the rear damper and new side coil springs positioned at the very front of the chassis.  The new steel chassis brings the CG even lower and allows for a narrower and sleeker shape to the whole design.
