Adjust Front Chassis Balance with Tamiya 53749

The Tamiya 53749 Short Damper Spring is tailored for 1/10 scale RC models and gives modelers another option for front suspension setup. It helps you tweak handling without altering the basic shock design.

Practical Applications on Different Surfaces

This medium-rate spring is handy when switching between loose surfaces and tighter track layouts, helping to keep tyre contact steady and reduce twitchy handling. It can stabilise the front end over small bumps and ruts.

Compatibility Notes and Simple Fitting

Compatible with many 1/10 scale setups, the spring fits into standard shock bodies and replaces longer coils with minimal effort. Check spring preload and shock length to match your model's geometry.

While designed mainly for the front, the spring can be trialled at the rear on some 1/10 models if the shock travel and ride height are acceptable. Test carefully before racing.
The medium rate balances support and compliance, making it useful on moderately rough tracks. For very rough off-road courses you may prefer a softer or heavier rate depending on vehicle weight.
After fitting, reset preload, check ride height and rebound, then run a few laps to fine-tune shock damping and toe for consistent handling. Small incremental changes work best.
