These dampers are designed for 1:14 scale Tamiya RC tractor and trailer models.
The set includes a vial of stiffness fluid to be applied by the user during assembly, allowing for adjustable damping.
While other RC shock oils might be compatible, it is recommended to use the provided stiffness fluid for optimal performance and to maintain consistency with Tamiya's design.
This set is designed to replace the original friction shock absorbers. Compatibility is confirmed for models that use this specific type of stock shock.
The stiffness is adjusted by adding a specific amount of the included oil to the damper chamber during assembly. Refer to the product manual for precise oil quantities for desired stiffness.
Basic hobby tools such as screwdrivers and possibly pliers may be required for removal of old parts and installation of the new dampers. Consult your model's manual for specific tool requirements.
The product title 'truck and trailer' implies it is intended to upgrade both the tractor unit and its trailer, providing two dampers in the kit.
Ensure the oil level is not too high and that no air is trapped within the damper. Check for any obstructions or binding at the mounting points.
Inspect the seals and O-rings for damage or improper seating. Ensure the damper body is not cracked. Reassembly might be required.
Verify that each damper was filled with the exact same amount of oil and that the stiffness adjustment is consistent across all installed dampers.
This could indicate air in the oil or that the damper needs lubrication. Check assembly and ensure all components are properly seated.
Compatibility: This set is specifically designed as a direct replacement for the original friction shock absorbers found on Tamiya 1:14 scale tractor and trailer RC models. Ensure your model uses the compatible friction shock absorber type before purchase.
