Rear shock set for R12/GT
The Yokomo YOKR12-37 X Rear Shock Set is an RC-scale rear damper kit intended for use on R12/GT chassis layouts. This editorial focuses on the component's role in chassis tuning, compatibility notes, and practical installation considerations rather than speculating on undocumented details.
Compatibility is limited to models listed as R12/GT in the product name, and the part is meant as a direct replacement or upgrade for rear suspension tuning. Installation typically replaces the stock rear dampers using the same mounting points on the rear suspension tower and lower mounts, so confirm mount fit before final assembly.
In terms of setup, rear shocks influence roll resistance, traction transition, and rear-end compliance. Use the set to adjust damping rates and ride height in concert with spring rate and sway bar tuning. When tuning, make incremental changes and test on the same track surface to isolate effects.
Maintenance advice: inspect seals and shaft surfaces regularly, service with appropriate shock oil and spares from the chassis manufacturer, and avoid using oils or parts not rated for 1/12 scale touring car setups. Treat this item strictly as an RC accessory and do not imply any full-size vehicle application.
