Refine Shock Response with Tamiya Piston Blanks

For enthusiasts who prefer hands-on setup work, the Tamiya 54509 RC Big Bore Aeration Damper Pistons (4pcs) OP-1509 arrive unported so you can craft the exact hole pattern needed to change damping. They are suited to riders wanting precise control over how the car reacts on varying terrain.

Create Custom Porting for Specific Conditions

Blank pistons let you experiment: increase or reduce hole sizes to alter compression and rebound flow. This hands-on approach helps you match suspension feel to softer tracks or hard-packed circuits.

Designed for Tamiya Big Bore Aeration Dampers

These pistons are intended for use with Tamiya Buggy Big Bore Aeration Dampers, items 54504 and 54505, providing a simple upgrade path to modify damping without replacing entire shock units.

A small drill press or precision hand drill, fine drill bits, and a clamp to hold the piston steady are recommended to produce clean ports.
If you use the correct drill sizes and avoid excessive material removal, the pistons remain robust. Work slowly and test patterns before committing to a final setup.
Keep a simple log of piston hole pattern, shock oil weight and spring rate for each test run so you can repeat or refine setups that perform well.
