Install Tamiya 51281 Delrin Pistons on Your TRF501X

The Tamiya 51281 - TRF501X damper piston set is a purpose made Delrin upgrade for the TRF501X chassis, chosen for its wear resistance and low friction. The pistons' white finish aids quick inspection and helps when aligning components during rebuilds.

Reliable Response Across Conditions

These pistons are shaped to provide a steady damping profile, helping the car track predictably whether you are on smooth layouts or bumpy sections. Reduced internal drag makes small setup changes more apparent.

Drop-In Fit for TRF501X Shock Units

Engineered to match the TRF501X shock internals, the set is a direct replacement that keeps service time short. Swap them in during routine rebuilds to refresh shock performance and handling.

How do these pistons affect tuning sensitivity?

They generally increase sensitivity to oil and spring changes because the reduced friction reveals the true behaviour of the damping system, so small adjustments become more noticeable.

Should I replace pistons during regular servicing?

Inspect pistons each service and replace if you spot scoring or wear that could affect seal seating. Proactive replacement keeps damping consistent between events.

Do these pistons need bedding in?

A short run-in period with clean oil helps the surfaces settle; after that you should see steady performance without break-in related inconsistencies.

Can I paint or mark these pistons for identification?

Light markings with model paint are possible but avoid coating sealing surfaces. Use small marks to track service intervals without affecting function.
