Big Bores on their way?
 
Parts for Shizuoka hobby show in may:

[TRF] TRF Damper Large Diameter Retainer (4pcs.)
[TRF] Buggy HL Aeration Damper Set

Now they already have the latter, so my guess is the new ones are BIGGER

Weirdly, no sign of springs....

No big bores, just HL damper cylinders instead of "standard" cylinders.

Nah, damper retainers are the shock bottoms.
Thought the same thing at first when i saw it on the release list for May.

The HL package seems nice tho. HL cylinders, titanium rods and moulded pistons.

But they already have hl buggy dampers, have done for 2 years, so what are these? And the shock bottom states "larger diameter", why?

Current dampers:
42132, 42133

Moulded pistons?? Titanium rods, they are already available too aren't they?

Yeah they are. But when you order the current TRF buggy dampers you get the normal cylinders with titanium shafts and moulded pistons.

With HL cylinders i might be inclined to order a set of those to have as back ups.

Never notriced, Carno, that Jesus had the same pink shirt as Tamiya wheels are. :woot: He would love it :thumbsup:

Regarding the damper Carno is right. If you order a set of TRF Aeration damper now it is the normal shock bodies and no titanium shafts i think.

The new ones might be worth buying for spares as you get the titanium shock shafts,HL cylinder and (moulded or machined i´m unsure) piston guides.

the large damper retainers are more for the Touring cars so they can use HPI springs as well. I dont think they are bigger than the current Buggy shock retainers.

He did have a pink shirt it's just that Da Vinci painted it wrong in red so I corrected it :p

Btw I think it's machined pistons. I've just been mixing the two up.
Moulded ones are the one you get with the kit.
