SLF Short Shock Shaft Upgrade for BD7-2014 - Yokomo YOKB7-S5S  [YOKB7-S5S]

Maintenance and tuning note

This Yokomo YOKB7-S5S shock shaft is supplied as a replacement part compatible with BD7-2014 SLF short shocks and is intended for 1/10 touring car damper service. It provides a like-for-like mechanical shaft swap so you can keep your damping hardware in serviceable condition without altering the shock body.

Replace the shaft if straightness or surface finish has deteriorated; typical service steps include removing the shock from the suspension, taking off the spring and end caps, removing the worn shaft and piston, fitting the new shaft, and reassembling while confirming oil level and correct piston alignment. Remember that oil weight and piston choice determine damping, so retain your chosen tune when swapping the shaft.

For tuning and track prep the shaft's runout and fit can influence seal drag and friction, so use a straight, well-finished replacement to minimise inconsistent damper action. This component is a 1/10 scale RC damper part and is not suitable for full-size vehicles.
