I just broke off the front right suspension part that holds the control arm on when i hit a small bump. It was so weak, it completely sheared off, so I just purchased a metal chassis. While waiting for it to show up from China, I epoxied it back together using a small diameter metal pipe for the control arm pin to go thru. Seems to have worked temporarily. I have so many upgraded metal parts on my D12, it only makes sense to upgrade the chassis too, but what shoddy engineering on the plastic chassis. Also the upgraded metal steering servo arm hits the control arm when steering to the hard right. More crappy engineering, but regardless, the D12 is such a blast to run.
Well, it is a cheap toy grade RC, that is what they sell it for. You get what you get. It is up to us to make it more durable and exciting in the same time. That what make this hobby fun.
ruclips.net/video/B3GBnOo5eFE/видео.html This guy mention he heated up the lower arm (standard plastic) and straighten it to make it longer. Probably that is why the standard length need to modified for lifted setup.
om aku barusan upgrade ke arm ini, baru beberapa hari, memang terkesan lebih elegan dan kokoh, tp timbul masalah baru, baut2nya sering kendor sendiri, mungkin karena getaran. ada tips biar gak gampang logro baut2nya?
After I saw your video, think it doesn't come with assemble instructions manual. I gave up buying this swing arm suspension as it is complex for me to assemble.
Well, it is cheap china stuff, so it does not come with any manuals. That is what great about this hobby, you get to think and solved all in your mind. If you cannot do that, might as well get a new hobby. Hahaha.
@@alienmartian22 ruclips.net/video/ciC2M9_kpV8/видео.html hai bro, saya dah tukar ke metal. rasa smooth sikit steering dan chasis rasa lagi tegap. Thanks bro!
Great video, I like the D12! 👍 subscribed 👍

Why put thread lock on the adjusters you don't need to do that they're fastened at both ends
Ok. Got that.
Hey buddy I just dropped this into my d12 but my metal arms have negative camber :( had to over tighten just to get it to stance right
Hi. Isn't negative camber is good? (For drift setup).
@@alienmartian22 hi Martin I should have mentioned before hand that I'm doing a lift conversion -

Hai martin, upgrade ke metal lower arm ni dapat improve performance?
Hi. X pasti la performance. Tp lagi lancar pergerakan steering. Sy beli ni pun sebab arm original dah patah. Yang pasti upgrade ni akan tahan lama.
@@alienmartian22 terima kasih boss. Yaa yang pasti tahan lama. Berat sikit dapat cengkaman lebihh rasa nya tu
