Technical Overview of the 3Racing TT01-E35E/WO Graphite Damper

The 3Racing TT01-E35E/WO is a graphite front upper damper engineered for targeted improvements to the Tamiya TT-01 Type-E suspension geometry. Its construction focuses on reducing inertial mass at the upper mount while retaining structural stiffness to stabilise steering inputs.

Material and Performance Rationale

Graphite delivers a beneficial stiffness to mass ratio that reduces oscillation at the suspension top mount. In this application, 3Racing uses graphite to limit unwanted compliance and provide a consistent feel across repeated runs, aiding predictable tuning changes.

Fitment, Installation and Setup Considerations

The 3Racing TT01-E35E/WO is manufactured to align with the TT-01 Type-E mounting pattern. Installers should verify mounting hardware torque and recheck shock geometry after fitting. Minor setup changes to spring rate or shock oil may be required to restore balance after the weight and stiffness change.

Does the graphite upper damper require setup changes?

Expect small setup adjustments; increase front spring rate or slightly heavier shock oil if the front feels too quick. Tune incrementally and test between changes.

Are spacers or different hardware needed for precise alignment?

Most TT-01 Type-E chassis will accept the 3Racing damper with stock hardware, but check for play at mount points and use thin shims if small alignment correction is required.

How does this part affect long term durability in race use?

Graphite is robust under normal racing loads but should be inspected for micro fractures after impacts. It offers consistent performance when maintained and mounted correctly.
