This aluminium friction damper post is designed for the TAMIYA TT-01 Type-E platform and is identified as model F103GT-22/LB. It provides a stable, repeatable mounting point that helps maintain damper alignment during setup and track testing.
Fitment is restricted to TT-01 Type-E variants, so confirm chassis compatibility before installation. The post is constructed from aluminium for improved stiffness at the mount and is intended for model use only.
Installation follows standard practice: remove the original post, position the aluminium post against the damper assembly and secure with the chassis fasteners where applicable. Preserve factory screw threads and apply controlled torque to avoid damaging adjacent plastic components.
In tuning terms the post reduces mount slop and keeps damper geometry consistent, which aids in repeatable friction damping adjustments and setup comparisons between runs. It should be considered a chassis mounting upgrade rather than an active damping element.
Service checks are minimal: recheck fastener torque after initial runs, inspect the aluminium-to-plastic interface for wear, and replace the post if excessive play or damage is observed. Avoid using lubricants or adhesives on mating surfaces unless specified by the damper manufacturer.
