Hard Friction Damper Grease Tamiya 53176 OP-176 - RC Handling Upgrade  [53176]

Improve handling precision with Tamiya 53176 friction damper grease

Serious modelers looking for steadier damping will benefit from Tamiya's Friction Damper Grease (Hard). The harder blend helps preserve consistent damping performance through a range of operating conditions.

When the harder grease helps

This formulation offers firmer damping than typical kit grease, which is advantageous on high traction surfaces. The stronger damping reduces unwanted movement and helps the car track more predictably.

Use cases and identification

Although intended for Tamiya F103 and F103L chassis, Tamiya 53176 OP-176 is suitable for other models with friction-style dampers that need a harder paste. The purple hue provides an easy visual check when applying the grease.
