RADTEC RAD-TA-10001 Spring Retainers for Tamiya TRF418

If you run a Tamiya TRF418 and need a simple durability upgrade, the RADTEC RAD-TA-10001 aluminium spring retainers are a practical swap. This four-piece set in blue replaces common plastic retainers and helps keep your suspension behaving consistently during club races and practice sessions.

Fit and Suspension Performance

Designed with the TRF418 geometry in mind, these retainers seat the springs securely and reduce flex compared to stock plastic parts. The aluminium build gives improved resistance to wear so you spend less time changing parts between runs.

Benefits of Upgrading to Aluminium

  • Durability: Aluminium resists cracking and deformation much better than standard plastic retainers.
  • Stability: Keeps springs seated under load for predictable handling through bumps and chicanes.
  • Aesthetic Appeal: The anodised blue finish cleans up the look of your car without being over the top.

Will RADTEC RAD-TA-10001 work on other Tamiya kits?

They are modelled for the TRF418 suspension but can fit other Tamiya cars if the spring seat diameter and shock shaft spacing match. Check measurements before fitting.

Any special tools needed for installation?

No special tools are required beyond basic shock disassembly tools. Remove the shock cap and replace the retainers, then reassemble and check preload.

Do aluminium retainers affect spring rate?

They do not change the spring rate itself but they reduce unwanted movement at the seat, which can give a crisper response from the same springs.
