For club racers and weekend drivers who want crisper front-end behavior, the Tamiya 54504 Big Bore Front Dampers give the TRF201, TRF511, TRF502X, DB01 and DB02 platforms more oil capacity and stronger shock performance across bumpy layouts.
The dampers use a 12mm inner diameter cylinder, 2mm larger than typical units. That extra volume stores roughly 40% more oil, which helps reduce fade on repeated impacts and smooths out harsh terrain transitions.
Included parts feature HL-coated cylinders, aluminium caps and titanium-coated piston rods to resist wear. The set also includes aluminium adjusters and retainers so you can dial in droop and spring preload to suit different surfaces.
A sensible parts swap for anyone wanting steadier front damping and easier setup tuning.
