Refine Shock Behaviour with Tamiya 53978 - TRF501X

The Tamiya 53978 TRF501X Low Friction Piston Set is a straightforward upgrade for those focused on tuning accuracy. Constructed from polyacetal material, these pistons lower internal resistance to give smoother shock action and more controllable damping. They are matched to the TRF501X chassis so you can optimise setup for different surfaces.

Advantages of POM Pistons

POM gives low friction and solid wear resistance, which helps shocks cycle cleanly under repeated loads. That translates to steadier handling and easier fine tuning of rebound and compression behaviour.

Installation and Notes

These pistons are for TRF501X shock configurations only and are not compatible with CVA or TRF damper styles. Fit carefully, check seal seating, and test for smooth travel before running hard.

They can reduce friction-related wear but you should still service shocks regularly. Inspect seals and oil condition to maintain reliable performance.
Lower internal drag often improves responsiveness and can sharpen turn-in. Exact results depend on springs, oil and overall setup.
Assemble in a clean area, lubricate seals lightly with shock oil, and compress the damper several times to seat the piston before final assembly.
