Tamiya 15501 Slimline Mass Damper Set - Precision Mini 4WD tuning kit  [15501]

Tamiya 15501 Slimline Mass Damper Set summary

The Tamiya 15501 Slimline Mass Damper Set offers a compact weighting solution aimed at enhancing the stability of Mini 4WD racers. Its narrow form is ideal for drivers wanting controlled damping without bulky add-ons.

Technical layout

Each damper measures 7mm across with two length options: 5.5mm (1.5g) and 11.5mm (3g). The slim dimensions make it simple to integrate the parts into constrained spaces while still delivering measurable damping effect.

Model fit and adjustments

Compatible with both standard Mini 4WD and Mini 4WD PRO chassis, these dampers may call for minor trimming or repositioning of mounts on some bodies. Racers can mix and match positions to tackle understeer or oversteer tendencies.

Tuning strategy

Adopt a methodical approach: test the lighter damper first, note handling changes, then try the heavier unit if more suppression is required. The aim is to reduce unwanted rebound and keep the car tracking cleanly through corners.
