About this deal
Leaf springs at the rear and a twist-beam inspired front suspension provide a firm ride, which can be softened with some payload (though this causes some other problems, more on that later). I've also bought a 5-inch plastic figure (Hershel of Walking Dead fame) who fits perfectly in the cabin. Respect must be given for their willingness to design something that is ground-up unique and not just some miniature Cross or RC4WD product. Disclaimer: Although the sample was provided by the manufacturer, there is an understanding that the review will remain unbiased and that product flaws, if found, will be discussed.
For a run video and a second opinion, I’d like to direct you to a review done by a good friend of mine- David a.k.a. Run That Rc! No other issues with the electronics, build quality, drivetrain or steering were experienced as of right now.That said, I feel that the overall quality is much better than that of previous RTRs- the paint has this attractive metallic finish and there were very few paint flaws. The off-white D-12 is also extremely attractive.
Join me as we go over the D12 in detail- from physical features to electronics, durability to drivability.As the D-12 is rear wheel drive vehicle, the front wheels can achieve quite a significant steering angle. Hopefully there will be a redesigned lower control arm in the future, as I think this is the component most susceptible to damage on this vehicle.
