Refine Your Suspension Setup

The Tamiya 51538 RC Big Bore Damper Rod Guide set is a practical component pack to keep your Tamiya buggy shocks operating smoothly. Intended to work with the Tamiya Buggy Big Bore Damper Set, the guides help maintain consistent damping feel across runs.

Key Design Highlights

Constructed from high quality POM, these guides resist wear while providing stable shaft alignment. The middle spacers split into two parts to give you incremental control of the damper seal when using O-rings, so you can fine tune seal pressure and rod clearance.

Included Items

  • Upper Rod Guides: 4 pieces
  • Lower Rod Guides: 4 pieces
  • Middle Spacers (Black): 8 pieces
  • Φ4mm x 0.1mm Shims: 8 pieces

How hard is it to fit these into a shock?

Fitting is straightforward for anyone familiar with basic shock rebuilds. Carefully stack spacers and shims and check free stroke before sealing the shock to ensure correct clearance.

Will these improve damping consistency?

By reducing rod wobble and controlling seal contact they can improve repeatable damping feel, especially after heavy use or if worn guides were causing drag or misalignment.

Are the shims critical to tune with oil changes?

Shims give you a simple way to tweak internal spacing when you change oil or seals; small adjustments can noticeably alter damping resistance, so try one shim at a time and test.
