Fine-Tune Your Buggy Suspension

The Tamiya 51540 RC Big Bore Damper Piston set gives you accurate control over your buggy suspension behaviour. Use these pistons with Tamiya Buggy Big Bore Aeration Dampers (Items 54504/54505) to adapt damping to varying track surfaces and driving styles.

Simple Adjustments for Better Handling

Each piston in the pack has two 1.7mm ports as standard, which produces a balanced damping feel across mixed terrain. If you need more or less flow, you can carefully add holes with a pin vise to further tune how the dampers react.

Are these pistons compatible with other damper sets?

They are manufactured to match Tamiya Buggy Big Bore Aeration Dampers, Items 54504 and 54505, and are optimised for those assemblies.

How do I add holes for custom damping?

Use a small pin vise and very fine drill bits, remove small amounts at a time and test on the car. Clean metal dust away before reassembly to avoid damage to seals.

What routine checks should I perform after fitting these pistons?

Inspect pistons for burrs or shavings after drilling, check damper oil level and seals, and run a few test laps to confirm the damping matches your setup goals.
