Yokomo SD12-TV1: Precision 1/12 Trial Engineering

The Yokomo SD12-TV1 brings precision engineering to a compact 1/12 trial platform, aimed at drivers who want predictable, tunable handling on challenging off-road lines. Its construction offers a balance between durability and responsiveness, making it suitable for practice sessions and competitive trial events.

Traction, Stability and Chassis Layout

The SD12-TV1's 4WD system helps maintain traction when conditions change mid-run. The chassis layout is designed to centralise mass for better cornering stability and to limit unwanted roll. Suspension components are chosen to endure impacts while keeping consistent travel and damping.

Comparing the SD12-TV1 to Similar Options

Where many small scale kits focus purely on speed, the SD12-TV1 emphasises control and setup flexibility. Yokomo offers a platform that responds well to incremental tuning, so drivers can prioritise corner grip, steering feel or climb ability depending on the course.

Practical Tips to Improve Handling

Adjust shock oil and spring rates in small steps to observe handling changes, and try moving battery position to alter front to rear balance. Selecting the right tyre tread and compound for the surface will often yield the biggest gains in grip.

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.

Is the SD12-TV1 easy to modify for different venues?

Yes, the design lends itself to simple changes in ride height, springs and tyre choice so you can adapt the car quickly between venues and surface types.

What should I check before my first run?

Confirm correct servo and steering throw settings, ensure the battery is secured and verify gear mesh. A quick range and function check of your radio is also recommended.

Are spare parts commonly available?

Standard wear items like shocks, drive cups and bearings are widely available from hobby suppliers. Keeping a few spares on hand reduces downtime between events.

Will the kit accept common 1/12 upgrades?

Many aftermarket parts for 1/12 trial cars will fit or can be adapted. Check compatibility for shock top mounts and hub widths before purchasing upgrades.
