This 50mm aluminium damper is an aftermarket option intended for the Tamiya TT01 platform and sold as model TT050. It can serve as a direct replacement for factory shocks or as a test item when adjusting damping characteristics. The damper housing is aluminium alloy and the kit contains mounting screws for fitment.
Installation onto TT01-style mounts is straightforward: remove the original units, position the alloy dampers in the mount, then fasten with the supplied screws. Apply thread-lock to any metal fasteners if needed and recheck travel and preload after assembly to maintain correct suspension geometry. The aluminium construction offers greater body stiffness and altered heat dissipation versus plastic, which can influence damping behaviour during extended running.
If you need a metal-bodied replacement for regular maintenance or to try different tuning angles on a TT01, the GPM TT050 provides a simple alloy upgrade; double-check mount spacing before final fitment.
