This aluminium oil damper set upgrades the Tamiya DT02 platform with metal-bodied dampers that replace the original plastic units to provide steadier damping. The Version 2 layout is designed to promote predictable oil movement and better longevity through repeated use.
The dampers are supplied with defined hole-to-hole lengths for front and rear fitment so they can be used as direct replacements on DT02 layouts without modifying the chassis. Installation uses the standard shock mounts and common shock pins, so the exchange is straightforward for anyone familiar with shock servicing.
Tuning guidance: swapping to these aluminium dampers will reduce flex-related changes, allow finer tuning of rebound and compression by altering oil viscosity and piston configuration, and cut down on deformation under load compared to softer plastic assemblies. Use widely available shock oils and piston options to adjust handling for circuit or recreational driving.
If you run a DT02 and want firmer, more repeatable damping with simple fitment, this Version 2 aluminium damper set is a practical upgrade to aid setup and consistency.
