Precision spring tuning with Tamiya 54797

The Tamiya 54797 Touring Car Short Springs Set II is aimed at modellers who want straightforward options for suspension tuning. The set offers compact short springs to alter chassis roll and feel without major rebuilds.

About the spring choices

There are three distinct spring types in this pack: super hard (white), medium hard (gold) and medium soft (black). Each type comes in a pair so you can test symmetric or mixed setups. These springs are compatible as a tuning complement to the Tamiya 42168 range.

Recommended scenarios for use

Best suited to touring car platforms running on smoother or semi-smooth surfaces, these springs help reduce body roll and improve responsiveness. Use them when refining corner entry and mid-corner balance for lap time gains.

Do these springs change ride height significantly?

Spring rate changes affect ride characteristics more than height on short-stroke shocks. Confirm ride height after fitting but expect handling differences mainly from stiffness changes.

Which spring colour should I try for faster circuits?

For cleaner, high-speed tracks try the medium hard or super hard springs to reduce body roll and sharpen turn-in. Test progressively to avoid overloading the tyres.

How do these springs interact with damper oil choice?

Stiffer springs paired with lighter oil may feel too bouncy; matching stiffer springs with slightly heavier oil helps control rebound and maintain tyre contact through bumps.

Any fitment checks before hitting the track?

Ensure springs seat properly on the shock collars and that there is no binding across full suspension travel. Verify shocks move freely and that spring ends are seated squarely.
