An all-new ball joint T-bar\/rear pod design centers the motor weight and provides precise tweak adjustment.

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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrom 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith 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.
