1:12 SCALE ELECTRIC RELEASED
Virtual Racing Industries has added a 4th racing class to their r/c racing sim VRC Pro: 1:12 scale electric on-road. This is a popular class especially during winter time as this class is mainly raced indoors.
The first release for 1:12 are 3 spec chassis, the generic Intercept ER12, the Associated RC12R5 and the new Xray X12. The spec versions of the chassis have limited set-up options so it’s all about racing and not about a lot of knowledge and experience about set-up and squeezing the very last tenth of a second out of your chassis. In Spec racing everybody has the same chance, the best racer wins!
The 1:12 Spec class is raced with stock 10.5T brushless motors with non-boosted electronic speed controllers. VRC Pro offers components from LRP, Nosram, Novak, Tekin and Speed Passion, all in stock specification.

The highly anticipated release date for the new 1:12 class has now been finalized for December 22nd 16:00 hours. The development team is now in the final testing stage and some last minute adjustments are being made to the sound system, causing a 2 day overshoot of the initial expected launch date of December 20.

The first release will be limited to the spec chassis and 10.5T untimed motor. The chassis setup options are restricted to toe angle and gear ratio. The speed controller has options available for throttle and brake settings. The full-option modified chassis, motors and speedo's will be made available at a later stage.
