Xenon Racing new style 1/12th scale front suspension

Xenon Racing in cooperation with UK company Zen Racing and 3-times IFMAR 1/12th scale World Champion, David Spashett have developed a new style front suspension system for 1/12th scale pan cars. The simplified design features moulded composite lower and upper arms with the latter being of a single piece design, doing away with the conventional upper wishbone, ball cup and camber link in favour of a rigid construction that uses eight different inserts to achieve the desired combination of wheel camber and caster. A total of 16 combinations, from 0.5 degree to 2.0 degree of camber and 3.0 degree to 6.0 degree of caster are accessible, allowing for a huge amount of control over the suspension geometry without the need for expensive setup tools. In addition the design is also a lot simpler while adding rigidity to the front end. Available are a 8/32 inch front end for RC12L compatible cars with an 3mm metric kit also being available for RC12R5 series cars.
