A12 1/12-Scale Electric On-Road Car

Awesomatix, known for their advanced and revolutionary design of 10 th scale RC electric touring cars, is
excited to enter a new class, 12 th scale RC electric on-road, with the A12 pan car.
A low center of gravity is a critical element in racing performance for any class, and this is further
exemplified by the A12 pan car on an entirely new level. Much like the Awesomatix A800MMX touring car,
the A12 far surpasses all existing 12 th scales by providing a much lower center of gravity.

A 12 th Scale the Awesomatix Way
The Awesomatix A12 features a completely new design compared to any previous 12 th scale car on the
market. The A12 does not have a standard lower deck / chassis and lower pod plate, but rather is
composed of two parts that work in tandem and are connected with ball joints. The outer frame of these
two suspension components contributes to the spring action of the car as it functions like a large spring.
The inner frame contains the front end, servo, receiver, esc and battery. A hydraulic damper is built
between these two parts of the frame, providing easily adjustable dampening and rear axle movement.
The end result is a suspension and pivot movement that is similar to conventional 12 th scale cars but has
proven to be far more durable and tweak free.

Additionally, the alloy side braces on the outer spring frame offer several possibilities to play with rate of
the “rear suspension” by simply moving and adjusting a set screw. The stiffness of the chassis can be
adjusted very quickly for a variety of track conditions.

The A12 follows the Awesomatix tradition of innovation by using specially designed hydraulic rotary
dampeners instead of traditional oil piston shocks. The A12 rear rotary damper unit is very compact in size
and mounted at the lowest possible point on the chassis. Inside of the damper case are two rotary damper
“vanes” that work independently to ensure smooth and efficient dampening, which can be adjusted by
different viscosity silicon oil. This carefully designed damper provides the required ratio between both the
longitudinal and side dampening needed to excel on any track condition. This rear damper is easily
removable, too, as just two screws allow for the “quick release” of the entire unit.

Front End Design
The 7075 T6 aluminum front hubs on the A12 have created a highly adjustable front end design. This
kingpin design enables the use of different viscosity oil, grease, and o-rings within the front hubs along
with traditional coil-over springs to ensure optimal performance on any racing surface.
Setting the front end camber is quite simple and is done by turning the kingpin post. Predetermined holes
in the front carbon suspension plate line up with predrilled holes in the kingpin post which together
determine camber angle. This allows camber to be changed in 0.25 degree increments, from 0.75 to 1.75
degrees.

The A12s stiff front bumper design matches the shape of the front carbon suspension plate and is cut at an
angle to match the front-end shape of most commonly used body shells. Unlike most 12 th scale kit
bumpers, no hand fitment is required and the bumper’s stiffness helps prevent damage in the case of a
crash.

The Inner Frame
The design concept of the car supports an inline battery and centralized electronics placement. The servo is
mounted to the front end cross plate. Multiple sizes and shapes of servos can be used, up until a maximum

dimension of 35mm x 30mm x 15mm. The ESC, receiver, servo and transponder are located in front of the
battery. The rear rotary dampener is positioned under the battery at the back of the Inner Frame. The
inner frame connects to the outer frame with 2 ball joints at the front end that allow it to pivot, and small
hooks on each side of the damper vane connect it to the rear pod assembly to provide the ideal dampening
level.

The carbon side wings offer two possibilities for both side spring placement and rear body posts position.
The side spring positions offered on the car allow for variable side roll stiffness depending on the
conditions. Depending on the body shell used and its mounting position, the narrow or wider holes may be
more suitable to ensure no deformation of the body shell at high speeds.

Rear end design
Another Awesomatix innovation is an ultra-lightweight spring steel-alloy composite spool axle which uses a
center nut to quickly change the spur gear. The total weight of this fully-metal spool unit is less than the
most competitors’ carbon spools but with far greater total strength and torsional rigidity.
The very light, solid circular aluminum rear beam provides exceptional rigidity and a tweak-free operation
for the rear pod. This rear beam can be set in a short or long wheelbase position, and shims used under
this beam set the desired ride height.
