Better Control for Your Buggy Dampers

The Tamiya 51540 RC Big Bore Damper Piston set is intended to give accurate damping control for competitive and club-level setups. These pistons fit the Tamiya Buggy Big Bore Aeration Dampers (Items 54504/54505) and let you tune handling to match track demands.

Balanced Base Setup with Tuning Potential

Each piston ships with two 1.7mm holes as a baseline to provide steady damping across multiple surfaces. For users wanting greater variation, additional ports can be drilled using a pin vise to fine tune the shock response.

Do these pistons alter handling noticeably?

Yes, changing piston porting affects how oil flows inside the damper, which in turn changes compression and rebound behaviour. Small adjustments can have a clear effect on balance.

Are replacement pistons available by part number?

You can order replacements using the Tamiya part number where stock is sold; keep the part reference to ensure you get the correct diameter and fit.

Should I change damper oil after modifying pistons?

It is a good idea to inspect and, if needed, refresh the damper oil after modifying pistons so you get consistent, repeatable results during testing.
