Control Your Dampers with Precision

The Tamiya 51540 RC Big Bore Damper Piston set helps you achieve more predictable suspension behaviour. These pistons are a match for Tamiya Buggy Big Bore Aeration Dampers (Items 54504/54505) and let you tailor damping to suit different driving conditions.

Modular Ports for Custom Response

Standard pistons have two 1.7mm holes which balance flow for general use. If you want finer control, carefully drill extra holes with a pin vise to change how quickly the damper reacts to bumps and landings.

Can I fit these to aftermarket shocks?

They are designed for the Tamiya Buggy Big Bore Aeration Dampers, so compatibility with other aftermarket shocks will depend on internal dimensions and piston fit.

Any tips for safe drilling?

Clamp the piston gently, use a sharp small bit and remove material in tiny steps. Clean thoroughly after drilling to remove filings before reassembling the damper.

How should I test changes after tuning?

Run short test sessions and compare handling before and after each change, adjusting one variable at a time so you can see the effect clearly.
