Had a bad experience where i bought a car and parts became an issue just a few months later.

Thank you
parts support is still going for the R11 so if there is a new car it’s safe to say that they will continue to support the R12.

I really like the DBX but it’s basically a personal preference IMO. Run what the locals are using and you should be fine.

Here in Aus we only run on outdoor tracks with medium to low grip on most, & with a range of technical to fast flowing.
currently I am using raodster, woolvarine or twister specialle depending on the conditions on the day with my R12 & really like all three, but that’s what suits my driving style but as STLNST said check what the quicker guys are using where you race

There is a guy here in AUS looking at a symmetrical one for the R12 but due to COVID lockdown for the last 6 weeks no testing has been able to be carried out as yet. I haven’t heard of any other version being looked at at this point in time

I'm around. Just getting prepared to run the ARC R12 on CRCB with Yokomo BD10 dampers.

you are the second person I’ve heard of using the bd10 shocks on the r12 now, they are supposed to be a lot smoother in their action, is that what you have found or is there another reason for using the over the arc ones ?

Good luck. I'm prepping for the 1UP race early October. I think there are only two electric ARC's attending. We have to be dead on setup wise as we won't have the numvbers like Mugen and Awesomatix :-(

Yeah, I am running the BD10 dampers for a couple reasons that are particular to my race conditions.
1. Slightly shorter shaft length which means I can use the LCG towers but not have to mount on the lower arm hole. No performance gain I don't think, but it's just one thing I noticed and also maintains the same geometry.
2. The shock body is threaded from top to bottom which means I can achieve ride height with any spring. This is true when using Axon progressive springs which some are quite short compared to other manufacture springs.
3. Smooth dampers and easy to build and maintain. The ARC ones are the same, but it's worth pointing out if anyone wants to know.

You will need to buy Yokomo suspension balls to mount on the car.

PS I don't need 4WD to be fast
