Will These Fit Df-03 Dampers

[hoppi05]

Evening all i have spotted some dampers from Dinball on ebay that look a good price and wonder someone could tell me the length of these DF-03 Dampers and if they would be a direct replacment? I know the DF-02 Dampers fit but not these there are no sizes listed?

if not Dinball has some 100mm and 80mm dampers seperate...

DF02 and DF03 dampers are the same length. I have DF03 dampers on my Blitzer chassis. If they are a bit too long put an o-ring n the shaft under the piston inside the damper body to limit the length.

cheers Mark - Do you mean put a o-ring in the inside of the oil cylinder on the shaft to reduce the length or have i miss understood?

Spot on! It's a standard practice for building the same dampers to fit many types of chassis. The o-ring will stop the shaft coming out of the damper body a small amount inturn shortening the damper. The other way is to fit shorter lower eyes to the shaft. Most Tamiya damper sets come with 2 different length lower eyes on the part sheet.

just looking at Dinballs turnbuckle sets would the DF-02 Sets also fit the blitzer?

Look at the DT02 turnbuckle upper and steering link set. It is better suited to adapting to the 2WD Blitzer.

I have those 3 racing dampers on one of my DT02's, the other DT02 with the stock black CVA's handles a million times better.

I said they'd fit, didn't say they were any good. I'd rather use the plastic CVA dampers myself, or shell out a bit more and go for the Tamiya DF03 or DT02 alloy dampers. There is no comparison in quality between the 3Racing dampers and the Tamiya alloy dampers.
