Improve damper action with Tamiya 42231 aluminium ball ends

For model builders aiming to refine suspension feel, the Tamiya 42231 aluminium ball connectors deliver reliable, low-friction performance. Machined from durable aluminium and finished to reduce friction, they help TRF dampers move more freely and cope with demanding running conditions, including installations using carbon damper stays like the TRF417X.

Feature summary

Durable Construction: Robust aluminium construction resists bending and maintains accurate geometry under load.
Low-Friction Coating: Surface treatment reduces binding and supports smoother damper travel.
Compatibility: Designed for TRF-style dampers and carbon damper stays, compatible with TRF417X applications.
Set of Four: Four connectors supplied to service the typical damper layout on your model.

Can I use these on vintage or custom builds?

They work best on modern TRF-style dampers, but may fit older or custom builds if the ball joint dimensions match. Measure the ball cup and rod end before committing.

Do they require special tools to fit?

No specialised tools are required. Basic RC tools like small pliers and screwdrivers are usually enough to remove the original connectors and fit these aluminium replacements.

Are they corrosion resistant near the coast?

Aluminium resists rust but salt spray can affect finishes. Rinse and dry components after seaside runs and inspect the protective coating regularly.
