Get Better Front-End Feel with Tamiya 54506

The Tamiya 54506 RC Big Bore Damper Spring Set is made to complement Buggy Big Bore Aeration Dampers, giving racers three spring rate choices to customise front suspension on 4WD rigs. It makes setup changes quicker when adapting to different layouts.

Which Spring Rate Does What

Choose from a trio of rates to influence balance and traction:

Hard Springs: Best when you need stable, predictable behaviour on flat, fast circuits.
Medium Springs: A versatile option for club tracks that mix corners and short straights.
Soft Springs: Use these to improve mechanical grip on rough or potholed surfaces.

Practical Setup Advice

Check that springs seat correctly on the damper cup and set preload consistently between left and right. Small incremental changes to spring choice combined with damper oil adjustments will help you find the balance you want.

Can I mix these springs with my current damper oil weights?

Yes. Spring rate affects ride height and initial response while oil controls damping. Match spring rate changes with small oil adjustments to keep rebound and compression balanced.

Do I need special tools to swap the springs?

Basic tools like a small spanner and spring pliers are sufficient. Work on a clean bench and keep track of spacers and collars during disassembly.

Will changing spring rate affect steering feel?

Yes. Stiffer front springs can reduce initial turn-in but increase stability, while softer springs make the front more communicative but may induce understeer on high speed sections.
