Raman36 1656 Posted June 29, 2019 Hi everyone, Im in a bit of a pickle here.. I need to find the part number for the low profile blue cap that comes with Tamiya 42273 Short Damper. Let me know if you have a manual for it.. thank you Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
waterbok 1282 Posted June 29, 2019 Afraid you won't find those I believe they are a darker anodized blue than the standard Tamiya - 9444358 and probably not available separately. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
speedy_w_beans 4272 Posted June 29, 2019 42273 short dampers came standard on the TB04 PRO kit and TA06R kit from years ago. The TB04 PRO manual shows the damper body, adjuster, and cap come together as a set as part number 19804765. TRF Short Damper product page: https://www.tamiyausa.com/shop/option-parts/rc-trf-short-damper-4pcs/ TB04 PRO (first version) product page: https://www.tamiyausa.com/shop/110-4wd-shaft-drive-road-tb/rc-tb04-pro-chassis-kit/ TB04 PRO manual: https://www.tamiya.com/english/rc/rcmanual/tb04pro_t.pdf Manual page 30 damper cylinder/adjuster/cap part number: 19804765 Definitely hard to find, or special order at a minimum which will be pricey.

Raman36 1656 Posted June 29, 2019 I was afraid of that.. so here is the situation.. I have enough parts (or so I thought) to build a few trf dampers.. touring and m chassis. So I figure rather than buy a whole kit, I would just build a set for my m chassis. I was that Tamiya USA was discounting these, which are the HL version of the 42273... so I thought why not.. it would only be $20.. WRONG lol. https://www.tamiyausa.com/shop/option-parts/rc-hl-cylinder-2pcs-2/ I contacted Tamiya USA and inquired if these used the same top cap and bottom cap as the 54000 M chassis.. they said it did. Well as it turns out Top Cap is low profile arg! Bottom Cap is normal So I emailed them back to see if they have a solution.. Then I scoured the net trying to see if the low profile blue caps or even black caps are available separately.. which appears they are NOT So I am left with 3 options Tamiya USA comes up with a customer service solution since they gave me incorrect info Buy the 54878 TRF SS BB upgrade for my 419x SS BB and use the black caps from those Buy a set of 42273 and call it a day Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
qatmix 794 Posted June 29, 2019 54868 upgrade your dampers for the 419x (it makes them all blue and increases the movement range). then use the Black caps on your shocks 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
