This side damper is developed for Kyosho Mini-Z MR-02 (MM) style layouts and is compatible with Mini-Z II chassis formats. It provides targeted lateral damping to complement suspension dynamics, improving chassis roll control and transient damping during competitive short-track manoeuvres.
Installation is straightforward for experienced hobbyists: remove the body, access the chassis mounting area, insert the damper into its intended mount, and verify alignment with the suspension geometry. Standard hex drivers and original chassis hardware are normally acceptable; confirm fitment before final torqueing to ensure consistent performance.
As a tuning component, the damper yields incremental changes to roll stiffness and transient response without modifying primary spring rates or shock oil. Use it to tune front-to-rear roll balance, mitigate snap oversteer on corner exit, and stabilise the chassis under braking. Combine with progressive shock and anti-roll adjustments for repeatable setup changes during race events.
