Yokomo designed this front shock spring for RC use on high-traction carpet and artificial turf. The larger bore and shortened overall length let you run a lower ride height while maintaining controlled rebound, which helps when landing from jumps and minimises the tendency to grab on sticky surfaces.
In tuning terms, the spring adjusts suspension feel without changing the shock body or mounts. You will notice stronger midstroke resistance compared with standard short springs, keeping the vehicle flatter through fast corners on artificial turf. Fitting is the same as other front coils: slide it onto the shock shaft, set preload, then check oil and piston choices to match the new response.
Use the YAS-650A when your setup needs faster rebound control on grippy tracks and you want a more settled chassis at a slightly lower ride height.
