TAMIYA TT02B Alloy Front Damper Plate by GPM TT2B028  [TT2B028]

TT02B Front Damper Plate

This alloy front damper plate is an aftermarket replacement part made by GPM for the Tamiya TT02B platform. It is a single-piece front shock tower intended for RC-scale use on the TT02B chassis, providing a rigid mounting surface where tuners swap the stock plastic part to alter front-end behavior during setup and testing.

Installation is straightforward for users familiar with TT02B maintenance: remove the original front damper plate, position the alloy plate on the existing mount points, and secure it with the original hardware. Check alignment of the shocks and steering linkages after tightening, and verify full suspension travel to avoid binding. The plate serves as a tuning component rather than a performance guarantee, allowing consistent reference points for shock angles and camber changes.

For tuning, the plate’s role is to stabilise the shock mounting area so adjustments to spring rates, shock oil, and mounting positions produce repeatable changes in front-end response. Use measured test runs to evaluate effects, and make incremental changes to settings rather than large leaps.
