Improve Front Handling with Tamiya 54506 Springs

The Tamiya 54506 RC Big Bore Damper Spring Set is intended to work with Buggy Big Bore Aeration Dampers to refine front suspension behaviour on 4WD models. With three different spring tensions you can tailor the front end to sand, dirt or mixed off-road tracks.

Spring Tension Breakdown

Each spring in the set targets a specific handling trait:

Hard Springs: Reduce squat and keep the chassis flat at speed on smoother surfaces.
Medium Springs: Deliver balanced handling for mixed terrain and club racing.
Soft Springs: Help tyres follow rutted ground to maintain traction in rough sections.

Fitting and Tuning Tips

Ensure springs are compatible with your damper caps and seat evenly. When swapping rates, test in short runs and adjust ride height and damping to match the new spring behaviour for predictable lap times.

Are these springs designed specifically for front dampers?

The set is sold for front application on 4WD models and is matched to the Big Bore Aeration Dampers. Some users may experiment with rear use but check geometry and travel limits first.

How often should I swap springs for different conditions?

Swap springs when surface or weather changes significantly. For practice sessions, one change per day is usually enough to evaluate performance differences.

What should I watch for after changing to softer springs?

Look for increased dive under braking and possible bottoming. You may need to raise ride height or add a touch more damping to control excessive movement.
