No, these axle springs are designed for the Tamiya CW-01 chassis vehicles (e.g., Lunch Box, Midnight Pumpkin, Montero). The Tamiya Frog uses a different chassis and suspension setup.
These springs are designed to improve suspension handling and stability, not to increase jump height. While they can make landings smoother, significant changes in jump performance are typically influenced by motor power, gearing, and driving technique.
While it might be possible, mixing genuine Tamiya springs with aftermarket shocks is not guaranteed to provide optimal performance and could lead to unpredictable handling. It is generally recommended to use genuine Tamiya parts together for best results.
Signs include a noticeably softer suspension that bottoms out easily, a tilted ride height, or visible damage/corrosion on the springs. If the suspension feels less responsive or your vehicle handles poorly, it might be time for replacement.
This product is a specific part number for the Tamiya CW-01 chassis. Tamiya typically offers standard replacement parts. For different stiffness, you might need to explore other specialized hop-up parts or consider adjusting shock oil and mounting points.
The MPN (Manufacturer Part Number) for this product is 9808008 / 19808008.
These springs offer a specific performance characteristic. If the ride is too stiff, check if the shock oil weight is appropriate or if other suspension modifications are present. If too soft, ensure the springs are correctly installed and not binding. For fine-tuning, consider using different shock oil weights or adjusting shock mounting positions if your vehicle's manual allows.
Ensure you are following the correct procedure outlined in your Tamiya model's manual. Sometimes, slightly compressing the suspension arm or shock can help seat the spring properly. Make sure no other components are obstructing the spring's placement.
Verify that the springs are identical and installed correctly on both the left and right sides. Check that the shock absorbers are functioning equally and that there are no obstructions or binding in the suspension linkage on one side compared to the other.
Compatibility: These axle springs are specifically designed for Tamiya vehicles utilizing the CW-01 chassis. This includes popular models such as the Tamiya Lunch Box, Midnight Pumpkin, and Montero. Always verify your vehicle's chassis designation before purchasing.
Setup: Installation involves accessing the vehicle's suspension arms and shock assemblies. Typically, this requires removing the shock absorber from the suspension arm, carefully disengaging the old spring, and fitting the new spring. Ensure the spring is correctly seated within its mounting points. Refer to your specific Tamiya model's manual for detailed disassembly and reassembly instructions.
Care: These springs require minimal care. Periodically inspect them for any signs of damage or excessive wear. Keeping the suspension components clean will help maintain optimal performance. Avoid exposing the springs and surrounding components to harsh chemicals or extreme temperatures.
