Durable Titanium-Coated Rods for Consistent Dampers

Hobbyists looking for longevity will appreciate the Tamiya 54545 Aluminum Damper Titanium Coated Piston Rods. The surface treatment helps shield the rod from dust and sand, supporting smooth, repeatable damper performance.

Compatibility Notes

The Tamiya 54545 piston rods fit several chassis platforms, including the F104 Ver. II and RM-01X. They also pair with cars that use parts 54341 or 54342, making them a handy option for upgrades.

Are these rods stronger than stock versions?

The titanium coating improves surface hardness and wear resistance compared to plain rods, which helps in abrasive conditions.

Will they fit my RM-01X out of the box?

They are specified as compatible with RM-01X and similar chassis, so installation should be direct if your shock assemblies match the original dimensions.

Should I check seals after running on sand?

Yes, inspect seals and clean the rods after sandy runs to prevent abrasive particles from working past seals and causing internal wear.

Do these rods affect spring rate tuning?

No, the rods do not change spring rate; they influence durability and surface friction but leave spring tuning unchanged.
