Brand: Awesomatix
SKU: A12WC

1/12 scale · touring chassis kit · A12WC

Awesomatix's A12WC is a 1/12 electric pan car kit, a refined version of the A12, sold without motor, electronics, gears or tires.

The spur mounts on the rear axle, so the ratio after it is 1:1 and the final drive is simply the spur divided by the pinion you fit. The chassis builds on a short wheelbase or a slightly longer one, and the manual allows a larger combined spur and pinion on the longer setting. Check that limit for your wheelbase before you buy gears.

Transmission & axle: 1.00:1
Introduced: 2024

Gearing Top speedsourced

Sold without a motor, so there is no stock KV: compare gearing by rollout.

Specifications

Spec	Value	Basis
Vehicle
Class The kind of vehicle the maker sells it as. It sets what the car is built to do and which cars it is fair to compare it with. Touring cars are 4WD on-road cars for asphalt and carpet tracks, often raced in classes with fixed motor and battery rules. Power Sold without a motor, so you choose the motor, ESC and battery yourself. Rows that depend on the motor say so. Build A kit you build yourself from parts. Most kits come without motor, ESC, servo, radio and battery, and many without tires or a painted body. The manual lists what to add. Scale The maker's nominal size compared with a full-size vehicle. It works more as a class label than a measurement. A 1/10 monster truck is far bigger than a 1/10 touring car, so compare length and weight for real size. Part number The maker's product number for this exact version. A V2, a new color, or a kit instead of an RTR usually has a different number, and parts can differ between them. Check it against your box or receipt before ordering parts.

Drivetrain
Pinion The small gear on the motor shaft. Fewer teeth gear the car shorter: quicker acceleration, lower top speed and a cooler motor. More teeth do the opposite. On a chassis sold as kits, each kit brings its own. Spur The large gear the pinion drives. A bigger spur with the same pinion gears the car shorter. Pinion and spur must have the same pitch, or tooth size, to mesh. Transmission & axle Every reduction after the spur, multiplied together: transmission, differentials and axle gears. It is fixed by the design; the gearing you change is the pinion and spur. This one is worked out from the tooth counts the maker publishes. Final drive How many times the motor turns for one turn of the wheels. A higher number is shorter gearing: more acceleration and pulling power, less top speed. On-road racers often compare gearing by rollout instead, because tire sizes differ between cars.

Wheels & tires
Tire diameter The outside diameter of the mounted tire, tread to tread. A taller tire covers more ground each turn, which gears the car taller. Race tires wear down over a day, and a smaller tire gears the car shorter.
Tire diameter	Not applicable
Power
Motor Motor KV is the RPM a motor turns per volt with no load. This vehicle comes without a motor, so there is no stock KV; it depends on the one you fit. Motor shaft The diameter of the motor's output shaft, which a pinion's bore must match. This vehicle comes without a motor, so it depends on the one you fit. Battery The highest LiPo cell count the maker rates the electronics for. This vehicle comes without electronics, so it depends on the ESC and motor you fit.

Theoretical top speed It needs a motor KV, and this vehicle comes without a motor. Fit one and the calculator works it out from the motor's KV and the gearing.

How to read these figures

Stock is as the vehicle ships.
Calculated is worked from the stock figures on this page rather than stored beside them, so the two cannot drift apart.
Derived is worked out from gear tooth counts the maker publishes rather than printed as a ratio; the notes below say how.
Not applicable means the vehicle does not come with it, like the motor on a roller or the tires on a race kit, or does not have one, like a KV rating on a brushed motor.

How these numbers were settled

1/12 electric pan car kit, a refined version of the earlier A12 with its rear and side spring system.

Awesomatix lists the pinion, spur gear, motor, speed controller, battery, body and tires as not included, so there is no stock pinion, spur, total ratio or tire size.
The manual's rear axle steps carry the spur, so there is no reduction after it and the ratio after the spur is 1:1, worked out from that layout rather than printed.
The manual says the sum of the 64P spur and pinion teeth should be within 112 to 118 on the short wheelbase and 112 to 123 on the wheelbase 1mm longer.
Its base setup for the dampers is 100,000 cSt silicone oil.
