Getting Better Shock Control with Tamiya 42274

The Tamiya 42274 TRF Damper Tapered Piston Set (1.0mm x 3) - 4 Pieces helps hobbyists refine suspension behaviour without replacing major components. Designed for TRF damper bodies, the tapered face modifies how the damper reacts during compression and rebound.

Benefits of the Tapered Design

Unlike conventional flat pistons, the tapered profile offers a different oil flow pattern that can smooth transitions and improve predictability. Each piston includes three 1.0mm apertures to regulate oil movement and support consistent damping feel across varied conditions.

Usage Recommendations

These pistons match Tamiya TRF shocks and are intended for tuners seeking greater control over handling balance. Combine piston selection with oil, spring, and ride-height tuning to achieve your target setup.

Basic shock assembly tools are sufficient. A small driver and clean workspace help avoid damaging seals. Follow standard TRF shock build steps for correct fitment.
Yes, changing pistons can shift damping balance. Tune front and rear together and test progressively to maintain predictable handling characteristics.
Provided they are undamaged and clean, you can swap pistons back in. Inspect for wear and clean oil residue to ensure consistent performance when reusing parts.
The 1.0mm holes define the basic flow rate for the piston. When tuning, consider oil weight and piston selection together to dial in the response you want for your track conditions.
