Tamiya TRF Big Bore Dampers+ shock absorber set

Following their new set of Big Bore shock absorbers for M-chassis cars, Tamiya also release a set dedicated to their 1/10th scale touring car range. The shock absorbers feature a ten percent larger oil capacity compared to the standard TRF shocks, resulting in improved traction especially in lower grip or bumpy track conditions. An anti-friction coating makes for smooth shock action as do titanium-nitride-coated shock shafts. Included with the shock absorbers comes an arrangement of accessories such as aluminium and plastic spring retainers, different size upper and lower shock mount ball cups as well as machined shock pistons and a set of springs. The shocks are usable for chassis such as the FF-03 and FF-04 FWD cars, the TA05 to TA07 belt-driven chassis, the TB-03 and TB05 shaft-drive kits, the TT-02 and TT-01 as well as the XV01 kits.
