The Yokomo SD12-TV1 brings a compact, capable 1/12 package that focuses on controllable performance for technical trail courses. Its design supports responsive steering and predictable weight transfer, ideal for drivers who prioritise finesse over raw speed. The kit is suited to both practice sessions and organised trials where precision matters.
This model uses a full 4WD system to spread drive torque and maintain grip when traction varies. The chassis layout is tuned to keep mass low and centered, helping with stability in tight sections. Robust suspension parts protect the car from impacts and keep suspension action consistent lap after lap.
The SD12-TV1 compares well against other entry to mid level 1/12 cars by offering straightforward adjustability and predictable handling. Yokomo's layout lets you tune for sharper corner entry or smoother trail recovery as needed, making it flexible for different course styles.
Start with moderate spring rates and adjust damping to control pitch and roll. Try slightly narrower tyres for tight technical sections, and test a range of battery placements to find the ideal front-to-rear balance. Keep a maintenance log to track settings that work best on your local surfaces.
Whether you are refining your trial technique or building a reliable practice car, the Yokomo SD12-TV1 offers a solid starting point with room to upgrade electronics and tyres to suit local tracks.
