Aluminium friction damper post for TT-01 Type-E

This aluminium friction damper post is a scale RC accessory made for use on TAMIYA TT-01 Type-E chassis and is offered by 3Racing under model F103GT-22/LB. It serves as the mounting point for friction-style dampers used on touring car models, replacing weaker stock posts and providing a firmer, more repeatable attachment point for damping components.

Compatibility is limited to the TT-01 Type-E line as stated in the product title, so confirm your chassis variant before fitting. The part is described as aluminium, and is intended for RC model use only.

Installation is straightforward for experienced builders: remove the original post, align the aluminium post to the damper assembly and secure it with the existing mounting hardware from the chassis where applicable. Avoid forcing fasteners or altering stock screw positions; use the chassis’ original screw threads and torque lightly to prevent damage to the surrounding plastic parts.

In tuning terms this post supports consistent damper placement and helps maintain alignment when experimenting with friction damping levels. It is primarily a chassis mounting component rather than a tuning element itself, but it can influence perceived damping by stabilizing damper orientation and reducing slop in the mounting area.

Maintenance is limited to routine checks: ensure screws remain tight after first runs, inspect for thread wear where the aluminium interfaces with plastic, and replace if excessive play appears. Keep lubrication and adhesives away from mounting interfaces unless specified by your damper manufacturer.
