Mini 4WD Tuning Kit - Tamiya 15471 JR HG Sliding Damper Grease Set  [15471]

Fine Tune Sliding Dampers for Better Mini 4WD Balance

The Tamiya 15471 JR HG Sliding Damper Grease Set is aimed at model racers wanting precise damper feel. The pack includes Extra Hard (red) and Extra Soft (blue) greases so you can dial in the damping needed for different track sections and speeds.

How Damping Affects Corner Performance

Sliding dampers moderate the rebound when your Mini 4WD hits walls or landings, affecting how quickly the car regains contact with the track. By varying grease viscosity you change internal slide friction, which controls how the car settles after impacts and through bends. Mixing the two greases lets you craft an exact damping level for your setup.

Practical Racing Advantages

On race day a well tuned sliding damper can reduce pogoing and maintain momentum through turns, giving a smoother lap. Both experienced racers and keen hobbyists will find value in experimenting with mixes to match motor choice, gearing and track layout.
