Graphite mainframe for R12 conversion kits

This graphite main chassis is intended to replace the primary plate in the R12 W.Conv. conversion kit. It serves enthusiasts who tune chassis balance, providing a wider front track baseline and a servo mounting position shifted rearward to enable alternate steering linkages.

The increased front track compared with the standard R12 plate changes steering geometry and roll characteristics when paired with the same suspension components. The servo mount sits closer to the rear than the factory layout, permitting alternative linkage routes and small center-of-gravity shifts without replacing subframes.

Installation notes: the plate swaps in at the R12 W.Conv. main chassis mounting points; check fastener sizes and clearance during the first build. Anticipate adjustments to steering behavior and balance due to the wider front track and rearward servo location, and tune toe and camber where required.

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 provides a foundation for drivers focusing on setup changes via track width and servo layout, and is suitable for iterative tuning sessions.
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 fitting this plate require me to alter my steering links?

Because the servo is positioned rearward, you may need to adjust linkage length or routing to achieve optimal geometry; plan for small link changes rather than full replacements in most cases.

Does the graphite plate improve chassis stiffness?

Graphite increases torsional rigidity compared with many plastics, which can sharpen response; the trade-off is less flex, so setup will feel different and may require suspension tuning.

How should I tweak toe and camber after installing this chassis?

Begin with conservative toe and camber settings and make incremental adjustments; the wider front track often calls for reduced toe-in and slight camber tweaks to retain predictable turn-in.

Will tyre wear be affected by the changed track width?

Track width influences load distribution across the tyre contact patch; monitor wear after a few runs and adjust alignment if you see uneven patterns developing.

Are special fasteners recommended for this chassis?

Use the mounting hardware specified for the R12 W.Conv. points and confirm lengths so they do not protrude or interfere with components; locking thread compound can help prevent loosening during use.

What setup changes give the biggest handling gains after install?

Start by dialing in front toe and camber, then adjust roll stiffness and anti-roll balance; small incremental tweaks to these areas typically yield the most noticeable improvements.
