The Makings Of A World Champion.
The most thoroughly engineered and purpose-built 1:12 scale car ever developed by Team Associated, the RC12L won the IFMAR World Championship in its first year of competition.
Designed for the most serious of 1:12 scale road racers, the RC12L features several notable departures from our World and Nation Champion RC12L.
The RC12L is the most technically advanced and balanced 1:12 scar we have ever raced. An all-new ball joint T-bar/rear pod design centers the motor weight and provides precise tweak adjustment. Saddle-pack NiCd/NiMH mounting is also used to shift the weight distribution for better turn-in under power.
Ideal for indoor carpet tracks, the RC12L is tuned to asphalt racing with independent coil-spring front suspension.
Superlight racing wheels contributed considerably to the RC12L’s reduced weight and improved response. A full range of tyre compounds, coil springs and gear ratios are also available for fine tuning.
Originally there were two RC12L kits, a carbon fiber Pro model and standard fiberglass. The World Champion winning carbon fiber version uses graphite for the chassis and rear pod and includes alloy motor mount and ball bearings (7).
Team Associated RC12L: A World Champion Icon Of 1/12 Scale.
The Team Associated RC12L is one of the most legendary 1/12-scale electric on-road pan cars ever produced. Released in 1983, it was designed by Roger Curtis (RC) and Gene Husting as an evolution of the RC12E, introducing 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 T-bar/rear pod, and “Linear” reflecting its smooth, predictable handling that quickly became the new benchmark in competitive 1:12-scale racing.
From its debut, the RC12L dominated the racing scene, winning countless ROAR National Championships during the 1980s and becoming the car of choice for serious competitors. It also achieved global recognition with back-to-back IFMAR World Championship victories.
In 1986, Tony Neisinger captured the IFMAR World title in Anaheim, California, driving the RC12L to victory on home soil. In 1988, Masami Hirosaka secured his first IFMAR World Championship in England with the same platform, marking the beginning of his legendary career. And, in 1990 Chris Doseck won the World Championship with the RC12L in Singapore.
With victories by drivers such as Tony Neisinger, Masami Hirosaka, Chris Doseck along with a few others, the RC12L cemented its reputation as a groundbreaking design. Its combination of innovation, speed, and championship success made it one of Team Associated’s most influential cars, setting the standard for 1:12-scale racing worldwide.

We want to make sure your delivery goes smoothly, so here are some important details about our service:
- For orders above £120, we offer delivery to most mainland UK addresses. For orders under £120, we can still deliver to Northern Ireland and the outlying isles, as long as the item can be sent by Royal Mail, weighs less than 30kg, and fits within 61cm × 46cm × 46cm. Some highland and remote areas may carry an extra delivery charge as couriers often apply surcharges in these locations. If you live in one of these areas, feel free to contact us before ordering so we can confirm the delivery options and costs for you.
- Most of our products include delivery in the price. If your order is under £90, a small delivery fee will apply but do not worry this will always be clearly shown at checkout before you complete your purchase.
- Depending on what you choose at checkout, your order will usually be delivered either the next working day or within 2 working days. For next day delivery please place your order before 2:00pm. Orders are dispatched Monday to Friday only. Some items may take a little longer and if that is the case we will always show the expected delivery time on the product page.
- If your order includes items with different dispatch times we will normally wait and send everything together once all items are in stock. If one of the items is going to take a while we will give you the choice either wait for everything to arrive or let us send the available items now and deliver the rest later. It is up to you.
- We use trusted delivery partners to make sure your order gets to you safely and on time. We use DPD for next working day deliveries and Royal Mail for the 2 day option.
- As soon as your order is on its way we will send you a tracking number by email. If you provide your mobile number at checkout we will also send delivery updates straight to your phone so you can keep an eye on progress.
- If a product is marked as "Dispatched within 3 working days" delivery usually takes around 3 to 5 working days from when your order is placed.
- For customers in Inverness and other parts of the Scottish Highlands deliveries can take up to 2 working days even if you select next day delivery as couriers do not currently offer a guaranteed next day service to those areas.
