Tamiya 15198 Rear Sliding Damper and Brake Kit Details

The Tamiya 15198 Rear Sliding Damper & Brake kit is aimed at Mini 4WD hobbyists looking to improve handling and braking balance. It helps stabilise the car during fast sections and provides consistent braking on technical circuits. Its broad compatibility makes it a handy upgrade for tuning setups.

Performance and Fitment

This rear sliding damper reduces unwanted movement and helps the tyres stay planted through corners. The sliding mechanism delivers smoother transitions, while the brake component gives controlled deceleration. It is compatible with many Tamiya Mini 4WD chassis, though specific checks are advised for unusual builds.

How It Helps on Track

Small setup changes can improve lap times. The Tamiya 15198 helps reduce skidding and maintains stability, allowing drivers to carry entry speed and brake later into corners. That responsiveness can make a noticeable difference in race heats.

What tools do I need to fit this kit?

Basic hand tools like small screwdrivers, pliers and fine hex wrenches are usually enough. A steady workspace and a parts tray help keep small components organised during installation.

How often should I service the damper?

Inspect moving parts after several runs and clean any dust or debris. Light lubrication on sliding surfaces will keep performance consistent, and replace worn parts as needed.

Will this change my car's weight balance?

The unit adds a small amount of weight at the rear, which can improve rear grip on some setups. Expect minor shifts in balance and tune spring or tyre choices if required.
