Low Friction Ally Damper Set or Super Low Friction Dampers in Baja Champ....???

[rich orton]

What one of these parts would be more suitable for the baja champ. I have the baja champ parts listing and both are on the list of available hopups. I know stockists that sell both parts but i am not sure as to which is better for the buggy the TL-01B or the TL-01 toruing car....


thanks for any help, much appreciated! ;D

hi there,

Both items are basically the same, just alloy shocks really. The "53280 TA03 Super low friction dampers" come in a set of 4 and i think are fluorine coated and are a pinky colour. The "53155 Low frictions damper set" it just a pair and not coated, i think they are gold. There is also the newest ones (came out after the B/Champ so not on list) "49293 TRF Damper Blue" also available in red(49294), set of 4 and fluorine coated.

To be honest there isnt much difference in performance.

Another thing you could look at is.."50519 Mini CVAII Shock set", "50746 Super Mini CVA shock set" both are plastic and come in pairs, the Super Mini is a bit shorter then the Mini.
