Set Up Notes for Tamiya 42274 Tapered Pistons

The Tamiya 42274 TRF Damper Tapered Piston Set (1.0mm x 3) - 4 Pieces gives club racers and weekend tuners a straightforward path to altering shock behaviour. Built for Tamiya TRF units, the tapered face shifts how the damper responds under load.

What the Taper Does

Compared to flat pistons, the tapered profile changes oil passage characteristics and helps create a more graduated damping curve. The three 1.0mm holes per piston allow a controlled oil flow, helping to stabilise the car through corner entry and mid-corner transitions.

Compatibility Notes

Intended for TRF damper series, these pistons suit anyone wanting finer control over suspension tuning. They work well when adjusting for grip levels, track bumps, or different tyre choices.

Can I mix these pistons with flat pistons?

Yes, you can experiment mixing tapered and flat pistons to tune transition and midstroke feel, but keep an eye on oil level and damper travel to avoid cavitation.

Which oil weight should I try first?

Start with the oil weight you normally use in your TRF shocks and test changes incrementally. Tapered pistons often respond predictably to small oil weight shifts.

Do the 1.0mm holes affect leakage?

The three 1.0mm holes are part of the flow design and should not cause leaks when pistons and seals are installed correctly. Ensure clean parts and proper seal seating during assembly.

Are these suitable for both front and rear shocks?

They can be used front and rear as long as your TRF dampers use compatible piston dimensions. Balance front and rear settings to maintain predictable handling.
