Alien Racing Legend12 1/12th scale chassis

Alien Racing Legend12 1/12th scale chassis

French brand Alien Racing have released their latest 1/12th scale chassis, the Legend12. The most noticeable thing about this new car is the longitudinal position of the battery. This helps corner faster and reduce yaw in the car in direction change and this layout can accept a 1S LiPo as well as 4 cell NiMh pack. The links connecting the rear pod to the main chassis are made from carbon and are mounted below the electronics to save space. Finally the rear bulkhead sees the motor mounted super low for improved centre of gravity.
