TN Racing conversion kit for Jaco rims (TN-958) was built for the original R12 rear pod which is a different width than the current R12C variants (made the mistake of ordering it awhile back only to realize the difference). For the IRS axle Just look up the parts for the AE 5.2 and that works. Pick up the Top 2mm axle shims unless you want a bunch of .5mm shims (see previous post). Besides being able to run more available tires in the US the AE axle also shaves 10g off for those having issues with the weight. I'm also getting another batch of Yokomo rims mounted with BSR blue/double blue fronts and green/blue rears so shoot me a PM if you need any (the yellow rims are sweet).

What did you buddy do to fix the issue exactly?

I know some guys here in Japan that are running IRS axles.
I'll find out what parts they are using.
my friend asked the workshop to lathe a hub which finally make the left and right wheel the same length apart from the motor mount

Anybody know if you can use a KO Propo RSx12 servo in an RC12C3.1 with the crank steering?

Do you know offhand how much the car weighs, including body? Just curious. Thanks for the confirmation re: RSx12.

That's what I'm running with no problems


On another note, all the US drivers looking for some great quality tires. Pro-One Race tires will have Yokomo compatible hubs in the next couple weeks. That will open up the full line of Pro-One rubber readily available.

Send a few of those hubs over to Japan! Many drivers are running the Yokomo chassis and would benefit from using these hubs.

Thanks Ken for mentioning the new hubs. I just received my new hubs for all cars except the Yokomo. With the Yokomo pod being so far to the right it makes getting legal rear width difficult, so I am making new hubs to fit my wheels. I am hoping to have them next week and anodized blue so know one will know you have a better part

Anyone interested can send an e-mail to [email protected]

A relatively normal modification. Well worth it.

Matt,

H (Hard Type) just means it's the harder composite material. They should be both H type but the 0.5mm raises the upper arm that much higher (roll center and camber gain adjustment). I would start off with the one marked H and see how you like it.

Just weighed it actually. I also put a new Orca Vx3 1s in it. Weighing in at 745g now. The new orca 1s ESC is definitely heavier than the old one. I forgot to weigh it before I got it in for comparison. I have titanium/aluminum screws throughout. Orca 13.5 motor, spektrum sr2000 reciever, orca 6800 Lipo and the ko propo rsx12 servo.
Ready to run
