The Yokomo YS-700 Super Blend Shock Oil is a silicone-based damping fluid intended for RC-scale suspension systems. It is presented as a single-viscosity option that fits common 1/10 scale touring cars and buggies where a 700cSt damping characteristic is required for slower shaft return and firmer compression control.
Use this oil when adjusting shock response to reduce high-speed compliance or to create a more controlled rebound on smoother surfaces. Filling and setup follow standard RC shock procedures: clean shock bodies and pistons, assemble with fresh O-rings and shims as needed, then fill to the manufacturer-recommended level while eliminating air bubbles before sealing.
In tuning practice, 700cSt silicone oil is typically chosen when a driver needs heavier damping compared with mid-range oils. Combine changes in oil viscosity with piston hole size, spring rate, and preload to achieve the target handling balance. Store the bottle capped and away from direct heat, and avoid mixing with non-silicone fluids.
