We believe the DB12R is the most advanced 1/12th on the market. Its not a T-Bar Car and its not a Link Car...we took the best features of both and created the new Flex Link rear suspension system. The Flex link system allows the DB12R to work under conditions where other cars have to compromise. For example T-Bar cars have to go to a softer t-bar on bumpy tracks but this change also reduces steering. In order to keep the car hooked up you have to compromise and deal with less steering. Link cars are great on high bite carpet but they struggle on low bite carpet an on asphalt. They just don't transfer weight agressively enough to generate the traction needed on low bite tracks.

The DB12R can handle bumpy track without losing steering because our rear suspension allows independant adjustment for front to rear and side to side spring rates. The DB12R can be fast on high and low bite carpet and asphalt because the Flex links are much more progressive in spring rate than even progressive coil springs used on link cars.

The main selling point is the DB12R is just plain fast out of the box. It works everywhere with no fuss.

Thanks for the answers, it's appreciated. Opinions are great but they seldom answer anything. When I get around to upgrading, the DB12 will be on the list.

Thanks Again
