I have the chance to swap a spare set of me Aluminium Cyclone dampers for a set of Tamiya TRF dampers.

They physically look about the same size, but how do the Tamiya TRF dampers compare i use please?



Cheers
Mark

Can anybody (Korey, Hiro ?) tell us anything about Baker's car as far as chassis (Exotek ?), set up, any mod's etc. ?
Is this a spec tire race ?
Thanks.

I'd go a bit thicker than what I was running. I'm finding that a bit thicker worked out a bit better overall at more tracks. So try the 45wt

I saw a few pictures, it's pretty much a basic car. He's running the front suspension block modification (didn't see which block), std chassis (non exotek), but he is running a TOP battery retainer setup. Its basically a car very similar to what he ran at the KO GP it seems in terms of hardware.
