twest03 3 Posted October 26, 2019 Hi all, I am currently applying several hop-ups to my TA02SW and was wondering if anybody could recommend anything for the stock dampers, i have currently got the 53155 Low friction and the 53571 TRF on my list but unsure which would be the best or if there are any others worth looking at. Many Thanks in advance Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
svenb 3778 Posted October 26, 2019 Have a look at 53280 super low friction dampers, their in a nice gold colour. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They are out there from time to time, not cheap mind might be best part of £80 when they turn up. There are other period dampers that would suit but even more £$€. There's a few super low friction sets made Pink/silver Blue/silver Black Purple Blue Im assuming you have the re-release ta02w! What other hop ups are you looking at? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Juls1 1661 Posted October 27, 2019 I used these http://www.rcmart.com/tamiya-53571-55mm-damper-fluorine-coated-p-4259.html?cPath=389_390 as they are the most old school looking of the currently available dampers. they are basically identical to the old TA03 dampers just have threaded body and a coating. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What other hop ups are you looking at? Hi yes i have the Re-Re TA02SW. I have already picked up the speed gear set, one way front diff (not sure if i will use it or not), metal wheel hexes, metal servo post and metal cup joints for diff. I was also looking to replace the stock silver can motor but unsure which one to go for if you could recommend one and any other Hop-Ups worth picking up that would be great.

Hi thanks for the reply, I had them on my list and was leaning towards them but unsure, i was also looking at the 53901 TRF special damper but seem quite steep at £30 each.

svenb 3778 Posted October 27, 2019 The aluminium motor mounts a bit of a must especially if it's a runner. There are loads of hop ups that would suit your ta02w, aluminium knuckles/hub carriers, carbon chassis, carbon gear shafts, hard drive shaft, right through to titanium screws. A few haven't been re-released so very expensive like the aluminium knuckles and carbon chassis plates. Is it a runner? If it is I'd go brushless 👍 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Can you recommend anywhere where i might pick any of these items up from as i have had a look for the ally parts and can not find them anywhere, i thyought it came with a ally motor mount and a solid drive shaft.
