Compact replacement: Tamiya 42343 SSBB Damper Caps

The Tamiya 42343 SSBB Damper Caps, fitted with 5.8mm balls, are a compact solution for refreshing worn shock ends. They are made to sit tightly in the damper assembly so shocks operate smoothly under load.

When to use these caps

These caps are ideal for modelers who service their cars often. Use them when correcting play in the shocks, swapping to a different tune for local surfaces, or replacing items that show signs of wear.

Compatibility notes

Built to work with various Tamiya shock layouts, the SSBB caps are a useful spare for many kits. They slot into existing setups without extra modification, keeping downtime to a minimum.

They are compatible with many Tamiya dampers that accept 5.8mm ball ends. For older kits check the original parts diagram to confirm the ball size and cap shape.
Yes, they provide consistent seating for the ball ends in both smooth track and rougher surfaces, but inspect them more often if you run on abrasive terrain.
You can generally reuse existing mounting screws and ball studs if they are in good condition. Replace any worn studs to avoid premature wear of the new caps.
