Yokomo YOKYS950 Silicone Shock Fluid #950 for Model Cars  [YOKYS950]

A short guide to using silicone shock oil

Yokomo YOKYS950 Super Blend Shock Oil #950 is a silicone-based shock fluid intended for RC-scale shock absorbers. It is supplied as a ready-to-use damping fluid identified by the #950 mark in the product name, and it functions as a tuning element in a shock's damping circuit rather than as a mechanical part.

The oil changes the resistance to shaft travel so the suspension responds differently to bumps, weight shifts and lateral loads. Only use in shock bodies that are designed to accept silicone oils; it is appropriate for a wide range of scale machines with serviceable shock internals.

When changing fluid, remove the cap, empty the old oil, inspect the piston and seals, then refill carefully to avoid trapped air and reassemble. Trial runs and incremental viscosity changes are the normal way to reach the desired ride characteristics.

Keep the bottle closed when not in use and store in a shaded, cool place. Take precautions to avoid skin contact and keep out of reach of children and pets.
