Technical overview

The JAZRIDER JR-TSD03-GU front damper stay is a precision formed aluminium replacement intended to reduce flex and improve longevity compared with the factory plastic component on Tamiya Thunder Dragon and Thunder Shot models. The gun metal finish offers corrosion resistance and a low profile aesthetic.

Installation and compatibility notes

Manufactured to match original mounting points, the JAZRIDER JR-TSD03-GU installs without chassis modification. Install using the existing hardware where possible and torque fasteners to manufacturer recommendations to avoid thread damage.

Performance and serviceability

Using aluminium in this structural location reduces deflection under load, maintaining shock geometry for more predictable steering feel. Inspect mounting fasteners periodically and clean contact surfaces to prevent grit buildup that can accelerate wear.

What material is used and why?

The stay is machined from aluminium alloy for a balance of strength, light weight and resistance to repeated impact compared with plastic parts.

Any special fitting procedure?

Fit as a direct swap. Use medium torque and check that the damper eyelets and shock mounts operate freely after installation.

Recommended maintenance for longevity?

Regularly remove dirt from contact areas, inspect screws for loosening, and replace any rounded or corroded fasteners to keep the assembly reliable.
