Performance Tuning for RC Dampers

The Tamiya 42166 aeration pistons are supplied pre-dimpled so you can create bespoke flow paths that suit your driving conditions. Drill the ports you need to alter damping response for rough trails or smooth circuits. This hands on tuning is ideal for competitors and weekend drivers alike.

Custom Dimple Options

Each piston contains eight dimples, letting you decide which pockets to open and what drill diameters to use. Changing the open area modifies how the damper behaves under load, helping you tune for height, roll and traction.

Fits with Item 54028 Dampers

These aeration pistons are designed for use with the Tamiya Buggy Aeration Oil Filled Damper Set (Item 54028), making them a straightforward upgrade for compatible Tamiya builds.

Begin with a very small bit, around 0.5 mm, and evaluate the change. Increase incrementally until the damping matches your target feel.
Yes, thicker oil increases damping independently of piston holes. Combine piston porting with oil selection to fine tune response across different terrains.
They are intended for the Tamiya Buggy Aeration Oil Filled Damper Set (Item 54028). If your truggy uses the same damper specification they may fit, but always confirm sizing first.
