The DF03-01/LB aluminium oil dampers from 3Racing are an aftermarket upgrade made to fit the Tamiya DF-03 platform. These aluminium bodies offer stable support for springs and simplify oil-based tuning while maintaining original mounting geometry and serviceability.
Installation follows standard steps: remove the original shocks, carry over or fit springs and retainers, secure the top and bottom shock ends to the bulkheads and arms, then charge with the preferred shock oil and expel any air. No specialist tools beyond routine hex keys and shock tools are necessary.
Setup role: use these dampers as a consistent base for adjusting rebound and compression by varying oil weight and spring rates. Changes to handling are made by swapping oils, changing springs, or moving mounting positions to influence body roll and pitch. The parts are intended for RC chassis use as scale components.
Use these aluminium shock bodies when you want repeatable rebuilds and simplified oil tuning on DF-03 models, and pair them with springs and oil suited to your surface.
