What the Tamiya 95488 Short Mass Damper Block delivers

The Tamiya 95488 Short Mass Damper Block is a small but effective tuning part for Mini 4WD racers aiming to stabilise chassis movement. Its shorter 8x8x14mm profile gives flexibility when space or balance rules out longer dampers.

Role on the car and compatible chassis

Mass dampers absorb shock from landings and reduce unwanted rebound, helping the car stay controllable after jumps. This short block mounts low and suits MA, FM-A and AR chassis; mounting can be rigid or slightly loose to alter its damping action.

Mounting notes and mass info

Each unit is about 6.6g and includes the small fixings you need to fit it. You can experiment with position and attachment style to match track layout and racing approach, switching between steady and more reactive setups.

Yes, its purpose is to help control rebound after jumps. Position it to keep the centre of mass low and reduce pitching on landing.
No special tools are required beyond common hobby screwdrivers. The supplied small parts let you install it without sourcing extra hardware in most cases.
If it improves stability through tricky sections, you can gain more consistent lap times. The effect depends on setup, track, and driving lines.
You can combine different dampers if your chassis and layout allow multiple mounting points. Test combinations to avoid overcomplicating the mass distribution.
After fitting, check clearance through guides and corners, verify screws are secure, and run a few test laps to fine tune position and restraint.
