FAQs

How often should I change the shock oil?

Change the shock oil every few runs or when you notice a decrease in performance. The frequency depends on your usage and track conditions.

Are these shocks pre-filled with oil?

Yes, but it is recommended to check the oil levels and quality before use.

What is the purpose of the yellow mark on the springs?

The yellow mark indicates that the spring has a medium spring rate, making identification easier.

What tools do I need for installation?

You'll need basic RC car tools such as a screwdriver, pliers, and possibly a shock stand.

Can I use these shocks on other Tamiya models?

These shocks are designed specifically for the TT-02 chassis, and compatibility with other models may vary. Consult the product specifications.

Where can I buy replacement parts?

Replacement parts are readily available from hobby shops and online retailers that carry Tamiya products.

How do I know if I've installed the shocks correctly?

Ensure the shocks are securely attached, the suspension moves freely, and the car's ride height is appropriate.

Troubleshooting

Car is unstable or bouncy.

Check shock oil level and condition. Adjust spring preload or consider using different spring rates to suit the track conditions.

Shocks are leaking oil.

Inspect for damaged seals or improper assembly. Replace worn parts.

Car handles poorly on uneven surfaces.

Ensure shocks are properly installed. Check that the suspension moves freely, and that the springs are suitable for the track.

Shocks feel too stiff.

Check to make sure the shocks are not overtightened. Experiment with springs, and consider the track surface.
