R12 W.Conv. main chassis details

This graphite main chassis is intended as the replacement primary plate for the R12 W.Conv. conversion kit. It is an aftermarket accessory for hobbyists working on on-road chassis projects, supplying a wider front track reference and a servo mount located further to the rear to support different layout options.

The plate increases front track width relative to the stock R12 plate, which has an effect on steering geometry and roll characteristics when used with standard suspension parts. The servo mounting point is placed closer to the rear than the factory layout, allowing different linkage routing and minor shifts to center-of-gravity without altering separate subassemblies.

Installation advice: the part replaces the R12 W.Conv. main chassis plate and uses the same mounting holes; verify screw lengths and local clearances during the initial installation. Expect handling and steering changes connected to the wider front track and re-positioned servo, and adjust toe, camber, and ride height to compensate.

Specifications

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

As a direct-fit main chassis for R12 W.Conv., this graphite plate is targeted at drivers who refine handling through track width and servo placement changes; use it as a predictable platform for progressive setup trials.
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.

Can this chassis be used with different R12 subframes?

It is built to the R12 W.Conv. mounting pattern, so it should work with subframes designed for that conversion; confirm hole alignment and any slight variations before tightening hardware.

Does the relocated servo affect electronics placement?

Moving the servo rearward can free space at the front for batteries or receivers, but check wiring length and centre-of-gravity impact when repositioning components.

Will the plate fit different wheelbase setups?

The main plate retains the R12 W.Conv. mounting layout; compatibility with alternate wheelbases depends on the rest of your chassis stack, so verify the complete drivetrain and suspension geometry together.

Is any trimming needed to avoid tyre rubbing?

In most cases the wider front track remains compatible with stock hubs and arms, but check tyre clearance after installation and adjust wheel offset or track if rubbing occurs.

How does the extra front track influence weight distribution?

Changing track width shifts load across the front axle and can alter balance; use ballast or component placement tweaks to maintain the handling characteristics you prefer.

What should I check after first fitting this chassis?

After fitting, verify fastener torque, confirm no interference with moving parts, and perform a baseline alignment of toe and camber before running the car to assess handling changes.
