Over the past weekend was the preliminary (qualification) race for the JMRCA 1/12th Japan Nationals.
The race was held at the always amazing K-Stadium circuit in Kurume, Fukuoka. This track is home to some of the fastest stock classes racers in all of Kyushu prefecture, and probably all of Japan. At the end of the day, I ended up qualifying in 9th position in my region. I think this is a decent result considering I haven't raced 1/12th carpet for a little over 6 months. That said, I still have a lot more work to do my setup and driving skills.

This time around I decided to run the Yokomo X-Shock over the Team Prime, because Morotech now offers different springs rates for this damper.
The X-Shock combined with the Morotech Red spring was the ticket.

A lot of modified (and probably stock drivers) drivers in Japan are using the Yokomo front suspension. However, they are doing away with the anti-roll bar on the front. They are also using camber in the range of -2~ - 3.0 degrees of front camber. The servo position has now been moved to the front.

All these changes have improved the R12's overall handing. Give it a try.
