Premium-Finish Piston Rods for TRF501X

The Tamiya 54042 piston rods come with a hard titanium surface treatment designed to lower friction in TRF501X shock assemblies. The finish helps the rods slide cleaner and stay resistant to abrasive particles.

Why a Titanium Surface Matters

A titanium-treated rod discourages dust accumulation and reduces surface wear, which in turn keeps seal performance more consistent and decreases the need for frequent servicing.

Who Should Fit These Rods

They are aimed at serious hobbyists and racers who want a straightforward durability upgrade for their TRF501X shocks, improving longevity without changing damper geometry.

Are any shocks likely to be incompatible?

These rods match TRF501X specifications. Other shock models may differ in length or diameter, so confirm measurements before assuming compatibility.

Should I change shock oil when upgrading?

It is a good opportunity to refresh shock oil and seals during the upgrade. Fresh oil ensures the best feel and helps identify any seal issues during reassembly.

Can these rods be polished if scratched?

Minor surface marks can sometimes be smoothed carefully, but deep scratches that breach the coating will require rod replacement to avoid seal damage.
