Improve Suspension Consistency with Tamiya Grease

Tamiya 53174 Friction Damper Grease (Soft) is made to enhance suspension control on RC cars fitted with friction dampers. It is particularly effective in triple disc setups and gives predictable damping across different temperatures.

Handling improvements to expect

Fitting this soft grease increases damping firmness compared to standard kit lubrication, which helps the car remain composed during cornering and under precise steering inputs.

Suitable applications

Well matched to F103 and F103L chassis cars and any machine that uses a similar friction damper arrangement. Use it to sharpen handling for club racing or focused practice.

How often should I inspect dampers after using this grease?

Inspect dampers after several runs and during routine maintenance. Check for even distribution and remove any dirt that adheres to excess grease.

Will this grease work with sealed damper housings?

It is intended for dampers where the friction surfaces are accessible. Sealed units may not accept the grease effectively, so check compatibility before applying.

Can I revert to stock feel after trying this grease?

Yes. Clean out the old grease and reinstall the original lubricant or a different grade to return to the previous damping feel.

Does using this grease affect other suspension settings?

Damping changes can change the overall balance of the car, so you may want to fine-tune camber, toe or anti-roll settings to complement the new damping behaviour.
