Yokomo is proud to introduce the R12 C3.1, a 1/12th scale EP onroad competition car kit; the newest iteration of the 4-time JMRCA Japanese Nationals and 2-time IFMAR World Championship winning R12 series.

Most recently, the R12 C3.1 was driven by 7 out of 10 A-Main drivers at the 2014 JMRCANationals in July, an impressive feat that only the R12 can claim.

In the international racing scene, the R12 demonstrated its racing capability at the Snowbirds Nationals in Florida this January by getting the TQ spot and winning the Modified class, and also winning the Super Stock 13.5T class.

This kit uses the newly-developed Rear Friction Tube Dampers which consists of small-sized lightweight plastic-molded tube dampers (as is used in the front damper), which reduces roll and improves agility of the car.

The dampers provides an advantage on carpet, by preventing excessive rear roll to improve handlings on high-speed turns. On asphalt surfaces, rear grip can be improved by using thicker damper oil.

The front end of the R12 C3.1 inherits the fully-adjustable double wishbone suspension and friction dampers from previous generations of the race winning R12 series.
