Tamiya 53979 TRF501X Low Friction Rod Guide - Precision POM Upgrade  [53979]

Suspension Upgrade with Tamiya 53979 Rod Guides

The Tamiya 53979 Low Friction Rod Guide is a handy upgrade that helps lower friction in the damper shaft for cleaner suspension movement. Machined from precision polyacetal (POM), these guides support steady shaft travel and help preserve the correct stroke length under load.

Customisable Damping Response

Two included middle spacers allow you to adjust the sealing behaviour of the damper to suit different spring rates and track conditions. Tweaking spacer placement gives hobbyists practical options to balance responsiveness and control.

Model Fit and Limits

These rod guides are intended specifically for TRF501X dampers and are not suitable for CVA or other TRF damper families. Check compatibility before fitting to make sure you get the intended improvement without modification.
