Refined Damping for RC Buggies

The Tamiya 51540 RC Big Bore Damper Piston set is built to help you control damping characteristics on your buggy. These pistons are intended for use with the Tamiya Buggy Big Bore Aeration Dampers (Items 54504/54505) so you can tune handling for different surfaces.

Easy Tuning Options for Different Tracks

Each piston comes with two 1.7mm holes as the base configuration, delivering predictable damping across a range of conditions. For further tailoring, you can carefully drill additional ports with a pin vise to alter fluid flow and shock response.

Changing hole count affects overall flow through the piston and will influence both compression and rebound behaviour depending on your damper assembly and oil choice.
A small pin vise and fine bits are recommended for controlled drilling; work slowly and test increments on the car to achieve the desired feel.
Yes, provided the pistons are not damaged and are free of burrs or metal filings. Clean and inspect them before reinstalling to avoid wear on damper internals.
