If you want to try a Tamiya friction roll damper cheaply, ask a friend who races a F104V2. There's a plastic friction roll damper on the "W" parts tree that is not used on the F104V2 because it comes with oil-filled dampers. It might be a good way to try it out before spending the $$$ on the TRF friction roll damper.

It would not feel even close to the same. Unfair comparison. The aluminum damper is cheap anyways. $10 new.
And for those wanting to use the Tamiya aluminum tube damper, you'll want a longer ball end connector on just one end. The inner tube is slightly more exposed on the X-ray since the two mounting points are wider than on the Tamiya F1's. It shouldn't affect feel too much but there is more surface coverage on the tube with a longer ball end.
I'll post a pic tonight.

Good to know! I ended up using Tamiya ball studs with the Tamiya ball connectors. Didn't even bother to build the X-ray side shock.

I'm afraid I don't. I just seem to recall someone mentioned that Juraj Hudy had said that the Thirteen fitted.
If it wasn't for the ESC on it's side with it's wiring touching the body I could actually get the body even lower
