Just wondering....from those who know Yokomo....thanks.
I think the YRX-12WE (silver chassis) is the best asphalt 12th car available!! This is the car that OD, JRRC and I run at all the asphalt races. The reason it works so well on asphalt is that the batteries are placed out from the centerline of the car further than any other 1/12th car. By moving the weight out away from the centerline of the car, you get better traction on surfaces with less grip due to better weight transfer to the wheels on the outside when cornering. On carpet, which has much higher grip that asphalt, you want to move the weight closer to the centerline of the car. Yokomo does make a black chassis for the YRX-12, which has the batteries in closer to the centerline of the car. I will check my inventory when I get home and see if I have one still in the package with a part number
