This gun metal aluminum front damper stay is supplied as an aftermarket upgrade for TAMIYA Thunder Dragon and Thunder Shot chassis. It replaces the stock plastic stay at the front suspension tower and is intended for users focused on tuning or improving chassis longevity.
Installation is straightforward when the original mounting points are used; align the stay with the chassis holes and tighten fasteners in stages to avoid distorting the tower. Confirm damper cap fit and surrounding clearances after fitting to ensure the front suspension operates without interference.
From a setup perspective, the stiffer aluminum stay can reduce flex at the damper mount, helping to preserve damper geometry across repeated runs and aiding consistency when testing spring or damper changes. Fit this component while making one setup change at a time to isolate its effect on handling.
