Precision POM Pistons for the TRF501X

The Tamiya 53976 Low Friction Piston is crafted from polyacetal (POM) and matched to the TRF501X chassis. Its material choice and finish aim to deliver low drag and repeatable damping feel for competitive setups.

Control the Damping Curve

At a 1.2cm diameter these pistons let you tune damping increments more accurately. They are not intended for use in CVA or TRF dampers, so confirm compatibility with your shock bodies.

Installation Hints

Install with clean oil and the correct tools, then cycle the shock to seat the piston. Checking for smooth travel and no binding will help maintain consistent lap times.

Pistons themselves do not alter static ride height, but changing piston size can affect damping and thus dynamic ride behaviour under load.
No trimming should be necessary if your shocks match TRF501X specifications. If in doubt, compare bore diameter and piston thickness before fitting.
Made from POM for wear resistance, they hold up well under normal race conditions. Regular inspection after rough tracks will help spot wear early.
