Tamiya 49088 Transparent RC CVA Super Mini Shock Unit - Precision Short Shocks  [49088]

Fine-Tuned Suspension for Serious RC Builds

RC racers and experienced hobbyists looking for compact, tunable suspension will appreciate the Tamiya 49088 Transparent RC CVA Super Mini Shock Unit. Built to deliver predictable damping and consistent rebound, this unit improves stability whether you run on smooth tarmac or rougher surfaces. The clear body makes it easy to inspect seals and pistons without disassembly.

Broad Chassis Compatibility and Ride Feel

The Tamiya 49088 suits a wide selection of small-scale RC chassis, making it a practical upgrade for worn stock dampers or custom builds. Its short stroke and controlled damping help reduce body roll while keeping traction consistent during aggressive cornering. Use these shocks to refine the balance between front and rear handling for track days or club events.

Setup Advice and Typical Use Cases

Installation is straightforward on compatible mounts but always confirm overall shock length and eyelet spacing before fitting. Fine-tune performance by changing oil weight and spring preload: lighter oil for snappier response, heavier oil for damping large impacts. These units shine on tight circuits and mixed-surface practice runs.
