This shock spring is made for the pitching damper on 1/12-scale competition on-road cars, supplied in a black finish and marked with volume 5.0. It serves as a direct replacement spring for pitching-type dampers on the YR-X12 series, providing a defined mechanical element in the damper assembly used to control nose dive and pitch response during acceleration and braking.
Installation is straightforward for anyone familiar with 1/12 dampers: disassemble the pitching damper, remove the original spring, seat the Yokomo YX-40SBK spring in the spring retainer, then reassemble and check free movement before track use. No special tools are required beyond standard damper service tools.
From a tuning perspective, the YX-40SBK spring functions as one adjustable node in the front pitch control strategy; its volume 5.0 rating identifies its role within Yokomo spring options for the YR-X12 platform. Test it alongside damper oil and piston choices to dial front-end balance and lap feel.
