new IFS 12R5 by Yokomo
This new IFS is just shown in the Japan Hobby Show.
Look nice, but this is old concept back to the 80's from Associated & DELTA.

Re: new IFS 12R5 by Yokomo
This is an old concept, I agree with I am 99% sure it is a better execution.
Those older independent suspension of similar design usually comes with huge amount of slop, as a result the mechanism does not really work like it is supposed to.
This new yokomo IFS, with nowadays CAD-CAM design, which I assume they do, the tolerance should be way better and the mechanism should work way better.
My 2 cent....

Yeah, and that "revolutionary" front end is almost 30 years old. LOLrooster wrote:I think this is what were looking at:
