Built Tough for TRF501X Suspension

The Tamiya 54042 piston rods feature a hard titanium coating to resist wear and lower sliding friction inside TRF501X shocks. They are aimed at users who want longer service intervals and steadier damper action.

Coating Benefits for Everyday Running

Titanium coating helps prevent dust and small particles from abrading the rod surface, so seals remain effective and movement stays fluid. This is handy for regular off-road use where dirt ingress is common.

Installation and Performance Notes

These rods are compatible with standard TRF501X shock assemblies and provide a straightforward upgrade path for improved suspension durability. Routine checks will keep them performing reliably.

No special tools are required beyond standard shock service items. Use proper shock disassembly tools to avoid damaging seals or the rod finish.
They reduce surface wear but will not cure a damaged seal. Replace worn seals and inspect the rod for scoring before reassembling to eliminate leaks.
Titanium coating improves surface hardness and sliding properties compared with untreated stainless, offering better resistance to abrasive wear in the long term.
