Sliding Damper Grease for Consistent Mini 4WD Handling

The Tamiya 15471 JR HG Sliding Damper Grease Set contains two greases, Extra Hard (red) and Extra Soft (blue), giving model racers control over how their Mini 4WD behaves after impacts. Use the set to refine damping for cleaner cornering and steadier lap times.

Controlling Rebound and Stability

Sliding dampers dampen rebound when the car lands or clips a barrier, which affects line holding and speed through corners. Applying different greases changes how quickly the damper slides back, so you can tune for faster recovery or gentler settling. Mixing the greases creates tailored viscosities for specific track demands.

Practical Setup Advice for Racers

Reducing aggressive spring back helps your car stay flatter through turns and maintain momentum. Test small quantities and log your findings so you can replicate successful mixtures that suit motor power, gearing and course layout.

No special tools are required. Use a small spatula or toothpick to place grease accurately inside the sliding damper surfaces.
Avoid getting the grease on gears or bearings as it is formulated for the damper sliding surfaces. Clean any excess off surrounding parts to prevent unwanted drag.
Make one change at a time, run several laps, and note handling and lap times. That lets you correlate changes in grease mix to on-track behaviour.
