RC Shock Absorber, RC Shock Damper Replacement for Tamiya TT‑01 TT‑02 TA05 TL‑01 TA03 MF‑01X(red)

The installed springs could hold up a cinder block and are extremely difficult to remove. Once stock Tamiya are installed these are passable.

Springs are much to strong and no oil in shocks. Had to change the springs to use them.

Total trash leaks, rough shafts that bind and springs that are way to stiff

If you’re looking for aluminum oil filled shocks for your TT-01 or TT-02 chassis and don’t want to spend too much money then get this. Looks great and no leaks so far. I also fitted them on my WR-02 chassis and did countless jumps from a foot high curb and no leaks whatsoever. Only time will tell if these will eventually leak at which case I will update my review.The reason for the star reduction is that the springs that it comes with are very stiff and doesn’t offer much rebound.

But they DO NOT fit the rear of my TT-02. These shocks are 70mm top to bottom, 62mm eye to eye.

The overall quality at first glance seemed OK, but upon trying to add shock oil, I came across a few issues with the shocks. The first is that the diameter of the spring is too small for the shock head, so the spring does not seat properly at all. The springs are also stiff enough to put on my wife's Hyundai. Spring rates much too stiff for any RC car. After adding oil to each shock, I tested each before trying to add the spring back and two of the four shocks leak profusely. To the extent that all of the fluid would leak out in no time. It looks like there is not a proper gasket on the bottom section so that explains it. I am sure that the two that didn't leak immediately will eventually begin to. Thought they were going to be an upgrade from the stock Tamiya pogos sticks, but I was proven dead wrong! I would steer clear unless you do not plan to actually drive your car. Shelf queens I am sure they are fine for if all you want is bling.

100% agree with TechyN3rd review. Mine were exactly the same way. I was hoping for better luck. Will be returning
