The Yokomo B9-S5SHVFA HVF shock shaft is a 19.1mm component finished with a heavy fluorine layer to reduce sliding friction and extend operating life. Developed with AXON collaboration, the shaft is tuned to minimise resistance from bearings and seals for more consistent damper performance on BD9 chassis.
Practically, reduced stick-slip at the sliding surface means shocks react more predictably to small inputs, giving tuners steadier feedback and enhanced traction control during fine setup adjustments. Durability trials recorded an improvement against earlier surface treatments.
For 1/10 BD9 chassis the HVF shaft is intended for drivers who prioritise lower damping friction and repeatable shock action when refining handling for competitive environments.
