511 shock collars

[Smartalec]

Anyone know the part number for the alloy blue threaded shock collars for the 511/501 shocks?

Dont think you can bye them seperately. From what I can read from the manual, they come together with the bodies only.

The Tamiya 49310 TRF Damper Cylinder Nuts fit these shocks perfectly.

So the touring car nuts DO fit the buggy dampers? That just might be better than the ones included with the buggy dampers. The stock ones have a werid seat that allows the spring to slip off the side and sit crooked. This increases the amount of rubbing between the spring and shock body which reduces consistency and wears paint off the spring.

I wonder if the these touring car damper nuts will allow a little less ride height in the rear as well since they don't have the stepped spring seat...

Yes I have them on my shocks and the springs do seat better. You can see them here:
