Tamiya TT-01 Type-E Competition Graphite Front Upper Damper TT01-E35E/WO by 3Racing  [TT01-E35E/WO]

Technical summary

This graphite front upper damper is an aftermarket replacement engineered by 3Racing for the Tamiya TT-01 Type-E platform, covering TT01-E35 and compatible V2/WO variants. It provides a stiffer, more consistent mounting point at the front upper location to support precise damping adjustments during setup.

Manufactured to fit the front upper position only, the graphite part changes the compliance at the mount and is intended to be used alongside the TT-01 Type-E shock assemblies, including existing inserts, springs, and bodies. Integration with the original shock hardware preserves established geometry while offering a different stiffness characteristic.

Installation follows standard TT-01 Type-E procedures: the damper uses the same mounting interfaces, allowing reuse of factory screws and washers. No additional fastening hardware is supplied with the component.

From a tuning perspective, this part should be treated as a chassis stiffness modifier rather than a substitute for shock or spring changes. Its main effect is to alter transient response and turn-in behaviour, enabling finer setup adjustments for competitive handling calibration.
