Tamiya DF01 Ball Top Shock Pivot Plastic 1pr DF1390F/RPBT by GPM  [DF1390F/RPBT]

DF01 ball top pivot replacement

This aftermarket ball top damper set is produced for the Tamiya DF01 chassis and supplied as a 1pr replacement. The plastic ball-top is designed to substitute the original damper-top pivot element on DF01 kits when the factory part has worn or broken.

The part provides the ball pivot between the shock unit and the suspension tower, allowing controlled movement during compression and rebound cycles. As a plastic spare, it is aimed at everyday rebuilds and basic suspension tuning on 1/10 scale DF01 touring cars rather than high-performance conversions.

Fitting is straightforward: remove the old ball top from the shock or mount, locate the new ball into the damper cap or tower seat, then cycle the suspension to ensure free pivoting. Check both left and right sides for fitment and retention and confirm there is no interference before finalising assembly.

The DF1390F/RPBT ball top damper set is a straightforward, budget friendly spare to keep DF01 kits serviceable and correctly set up.
