BD7 SLF Short Shock Conversion Details

The conversion kit provides a compact short-shock option to alter mount geometry on BD7 SLF cars. By shortening the effective damper assembly, it changes suspension behavior while leaving the main shock body in place in many setups.

Role and intended use:

  • Enables swapping to shorter shock assemblies to match specific SLF layout choices.
  • Serves as a tuning tool to adjust ride height, alter shock angles, and modify transient damping during track setup and practice.
  • Sold as an aftermarket accessory for RC hobbyists; intended for scale use only.

Installation and tuning guidance:

  • Typical installation replaces shock top or bottom mounts or uses adapter pieces from the kit to shorten effective shock length; follow any included fitting details.
  • Reduced shock travel changes leverage ratios, so reassess spring stiffness, oil grade, and piston selection to maintain desired handling.
  • Check clearance for full suspension travel and steering sweep after fitting new geometry to avoid binding.

This short shock conversion is a focused upgrade for BD7 SLF setups when changing shock geometry is part of your tuning plan; validate suspension travel and damping choices after installation to confirm the handling you want.
Remark :
Due to limited stock availability, please notice that some Yokomo items may have to order from the factory and the ready time is around 4-6 weeks. Customer purchases the item is assumed to accept the waiting time which allows us to order directly from the manufacturer if the item is out of our warehouse.

What handling changes should I expect after fitting?

Expect a firmer transient response with quicker weight transfer; corner entry and mid-corner grip can shift, so tune springs and oil to rebalance front and rear behavior.

Will this fit without modifying the chassis?

It is designed for BD7 SLF fitment, but individual chassis setups and aftermarket parts can vary. Inspect mounting points and compare with the kit parts to avoid unintended modifications.

How do I approach spring and oil changes after conversion?

Start with a modest spring and oil adjustment toward softer travel compensation, then test progressively. Shorter shocks can need different damping curves, so trial and error with piston and oil choices is normal.

Is this a full shock replacement or a mount kit?

Primarily a mount and adapter kit to shorten effective length rather than a complete shock replacement; confirm kit contents to determine if additional parts are required for your build.
