Upgrade suspension feel with Tamiya 42231 aluminum ball connectors

RC racers wanting smoother damper action will appreciate the Tamiya 42231 aluminum ball connectors. Built from tough aluminum with a low-friction finish, these connectors help reduce binding in TRF dampers and perform well under heavy use. They are especially suited to setups that use carbon damper stays such as the TRF417X.

Top features at a glance

Durable Construction: Precision-machined from high-grade aluminum to resist deformation and deliver consistent service life.
Low-Friction Coating: A friction-reducing surface helps the suspension articulate more freely for improved response.
Compatibility: Suited to cars fitted with TRF dampers and carbon damper stays, including TRF417X style setups.
Set of Four: Supplied as a 4-piece set to cover one end of your vehicle's damper mounting points.

Will these fit non-Tamiya shock systems?

They are designed for TRF-style dampers but can fit other shocks that use the same ball size and rod end geometry. Check the ball cup and rod dimensions before installing.

How difficult is fitting them to my shocks?

Installation is straightforward for most hobbyists. Remove the old connector from the damper rod end and swap in the aluminum unit using basic hand tools. A small spanner or pliers may be helpful for tight fittings.

What maintenance do they need?

Keep the connectors clean and inspect for wear after heavy sessions. Wipe off dirt and recheck the seating on the damper rod; replace if the ball surface shows grooves or excessive play.
