Refine Damper Performance with Tamiya 53979

The Tamiya 53979 Low Friction Rod Guide is made to reduce binding and keep the damper shaft running true. Constructed from durable polyacetal (POM), the guide helps maintain consistent stroke behaviour for cleaner handling on varied surfaces.

Adjustable Sealing for Better Control

Included in the kit are two middle spacers so you can alter the sealing tightness and control oil flow. This simple adjustment helps hobbyists adapt the damper response to different track layouts and driving styles.

Compatibility Notes

These guides are tailored for use with the TRF501X dampers and are not compatible with CVA or other TRF damper types. Confirm damper type before fitting to avoid mismatch.

They are designed to TRF501X geometry and may not seat correctly in non Tamiya shock bodies. Check inner diameters and tolerances before trying them.
POM itself is neutral to common oils, but changing seal tightness with the spacers can alter flow, so you may want to tweak oil viscosity when tuning.
Spare spacer availability depends on suppliers. Keep a set handy if you plan to experiment frequently, as spacers are small and easy to misplace.
