This gun metal aluminum front damper stay is supplied as an aftermarket replacement designed specifically for TAMIYA Thunder Dragon and Thunder Shot chassis. It provides a metal option for the front suspension tower area where the factory plastic stay is commonly used, aimed at those performing routine maintenance or setting tweaks.
Installation uses the chassis original mounting points on the Thunder Dragon and Thunder Shot, so ensure hole alignment before tightening. Fasteners should be tightened in stages to prevent warping of the tower and verify that damper cap clearance and tower geometry remain correct after fitting.
For setup work, the aluminum stay helps maintain consistent damper positioning under load, which can improve repeatability during cornering and repeated runs. Apply changes incrementally and log handling before and after fitting to evaluate effects on chassis balance and steering feedback.
