R12 conversion main plate overview

This graphite main chassis is produced to replace the primary plate in the R12 W.Conv. conversion kit. It is targeted at hobbyists seeking a stiffer mounting surface, giving a wider front track reference and a servo mounting layout shifted toward the rear to support different setup strategies.

Compared with the standard R12 plate, this chassis increases front track width, which alters steering geometry and roll behavior when combined with existing suspension parts. The servo position is set further back than the stock arrangement, which allows alternate servo-to-linkage routing and fine adjustments to weight distribution without changing other subassemblies.

Installation guidance: the component installs in place of the R12 W.Conv. main plate using the same attachment points; confirm bolt selection and clearance when first fitting. During initial setup, anticipate changes in steering feel and balance due to the wider front track and rearward servo, and make toe and camber adjustments accordingly.

Specifications

  • Item Main chassis plate
  • Material Graphite
  • Model Number R12-02C
  • Compatibility R12 W.Conv.

As a direct-fit main chassis option for R12 W.Conv., this graphite plate suits drivers looking to modify handling through track width and servo placement, providing a consistent base for progressive setup experiments.
Remark :
Due to limited stock availability, please notice that some Yokomo items may have to order from the factory and the ready time is around 4-6 weeks. Customer purchases the item is assumed to accept the waiting time which allows us to order directly from the manufacturer if the item is out of our warehouse.

Will this plate fit without modifying the conversion kit?

Yes, it is intended to mount using the R12 W.Conv. mounting points; however, check screw lengths and nearby clearance to ensure a clean fit.

Is the chassis brittle or prone to cracking?

Made from graphite, the plate offers high stiffness and good longevity under normal running conditions; like all graphite parts, it can crack under severe impact, so inspect after hard hits.

What handling changes should I expect from the wider front track?

The increased front track typically alters turn-in and mid-corner roll characteristics; you may find different understeer/oversteer balance and should tune toe and camber to match your driving style.

How does the rearward servo mount benefit setup?

Moving the servo back changes linkage geometry and can help centralize mass or free space at the front for different electronics layouts, allowing alternate steering linkage designs.

Do I need to change any suspension parts to use this plate?

Most existing suspension parts remain compatible, but because track width changes, confirm that arms and hubs do not bind and adjust lengths if necessary to maintain proper geometry.

Are there special setup tips after fitting this chassis?

After installation, re-evaluate toe, camber, and ride height. Small incremental changes will help you find the balance that suits the wider front track and the shifted servo position.
