Overview
The Tamiya Mini 4WD Slimline Mass Damper Set is a critical performance upgrade designed to stabilize your Mini 4WD car during and after jumps. Mass dampers use weighted cylinders that move on guide shafts, absorbing the energy from jump landings and preventing your car from bouncing off the track.
Modern Mini 4WD tracks often feature challenging jump sections where cars can easily lose control upon landing. The slimline design of these dampers provides effective stabilization while maintaining a compact profile that doesn't interfere with track walls or other components.
