Wondering which 1/12 pan car to buy? The CRC MetriCKs and the Awesomatix A12X are nearly tied at the top in 2026, with the older Awesomatix A12 and CRC CK25 next. The GT12 cars are 1/12 pan cars too, so they count here. We counted the setups saved in the RC Setup App this year: 264 racers added or updated a setup for one of the 28 1/12 pan cars in the app during 2026.
The percentage under each car is the share of racers in that class who run it. A racer counts once per car no matter how many setups they've saved. Counts updated November 2026.

Every car below links to the setups racers have shared for it, and the pan car page lists every pan car and F1 car in the app.

How we counted
We count anonymous totals from setups saved in the app for 1/12 pan cars, added or updated between January and November 2026, so this is what racers run now rather than what they have ever owned. A racer counts once per car no matter how many setups they've saved, and nothing about who they are or where they race reaches this page. Versions of a car that share a setup sheet, like a dirt and a carpet edition, are counted together.
