Better oil sealing from Tamiya silicone X-rings

The Tamiya 42214 Silicone Damper X-Rings give a clear improvement in oil sealing for aeration dampers. Their X-shaped section and silicone construction reduce oil migration compared to regular O-rings, helping dampers stay consistent through extended runs.

Why the X shape matters

With its multiple sealing edges the X profile grips the inner bore more effectively, lowering the chance of leakage and helping the seal keep its form under heat and movement. That stability aids repeatable damper response lap after lap.

Use with aeration damper systems

These X-rings are tailored for aeration damper assemblies in the Tamiya line and are designed to function well with silicone damper oil, supporting smooth piston travel and longer maintenance intervals.

Can I swap these into my existing dampers?

If the bore and shaft sizes match, you can fit them as a seal upgrade. Verify dimensions before installing to avoid poor fit or damage.

Do these X-rings work with thicker damper oils?

They are formulated for silicone damper oils; heavier or non-silicone fluids may change seal behaviour, so check compatibility with your damper build.

Any tips for installing X-ring seals?

Use clean tools, lightly oil the seal and shaft to avoid pinching, and assemble carefully to maintain the X profile intact.

How often should I inspect these seals?

Check them during regular damper service intervals or after heavy use; replace if you notice cuts, hardening or loss of sealing.
