* The DB12R was designed for servos with
dimensions similar to the Futaba 9602 and 9650.
These will fit perfectly with a centered output shaft.
Other servos will fit but may require different servo
mounts and/or modifications to the lower chassis.
The DB12R is a revolutionary step forward in 1/12th scale car design. Two years of research and
development has culminated in the kit you have before you. The goal of the DB12R project was to take the
best features of T-bar cars and Link cars and combine them to make a new type of rear suspension that will
set new standards for speed, versatility and ease of use. I call this new suspension system the BMI Flex Link.
What if you could have a t-plate car that was as stiff side to side as with a .075” t-plate but more flexible front to
rear than a .063” t-plate with 2 screws in the read pod?
What if you could have a link car that had insane steering with very little front wheel travel, transitions left to
right in chicanes like it was hard wired to your brain and was equally at home on carpet and asphalt?
Stop wondering, the DB12R delivers on all of the above.
The DB12R’s suspension allows racers to enjoy the rising side to side spring rate inherent in a T-bar rear
suspension system with the separation of the front to back versus side to side spring and damping effects as
seen in link cars. This allows serious racers to balance forward traction, side traction and steering
aggressiveness independently of each other with the ultimate goal in mind. This means FASTER LAP TIMES!
Please read through the instruction manual carefully. Even if you are an experienced R/C racer, there are
some details about the DB12R that are different. To get the most out of your kit you must have it assembled
correctly.
