Snapshot of the Tamiya 95488 Short Mass Damper Block

The Tamiya 95488 Short Mass Damper Block is a precision component aimed at Mini 4WD hobbyists who want a shorter damper option. At 8x8x14mm it allows different mounting choices without the bulk of longer blocks.

Performance role and chassis support

Mass dampers help soak up the energy from impacts and minimise bounce, aiding stability during races. This short block is compatible with MA, FM-A and AR chassis and can be fitted either fixed or with limited movement to tune the handling response.

Weight, fittings and tuning approach

Each block weighs approximately 6.6g and includes the small fittings for attachment. Adjust the mounting style to suit track conditions, trying both secure and slightly mobile mounts to see which improves cornering and recovery.

The short 8x8x14mm profile makes it suitable for lower clearance areas, but always check local clearances and mounting points before final installation.
The block is about 6.6g, which is enough to affect chassis behaviour while remaining compact for fine tuning of balance and pitch control.
Start with a secure mount to establish a baseline, then introduce a small amount of movement if you want more dynamic damping. Test changes one at a time to evaluate impact.
