TOPIC:

Any difference in performance between plastic vs. metal oil filled shocks, or mainly just a durability thing?

Aloy cvas are smoother. But tamiya plastic cva are very very good.

Can you please explain what "CVA shocks" means?

There are also TRF shocks right? What are those? And what else is there?

Here you go, There is an extensive database that Lars has put together for you all. Look here to check it out or Click on the database tap at the top of the page for the damper and other detailed information.

Thank you very much!

OK, hmm.. If I were to upgrade my dampers for my rere-Holiday Buggy, what type would I use?

There is also an "RC dictionary" available, for abbreviation like "CVA" , etc
Click HERE.

The rere holiday buggy is a DT02 chassis. You have several options plastic and alloy wise.

plastic
Tamiya 50520 and 50519 different valves 1-3 holes
cheap version 54567
tuning spring set 53832

alloy
big boar 54504 and 54505
TRF 54028 or 53926

That dictionary is my bible now. Thanks Lars.

Amazing what info I got by just asking. Thanks guys.

I've bought these for my Holiday rere ...



The car sits a bit higher now, and suspension feels a bit differernt, more progressive than constant. But I cannot tell more because I've not even driven this car yet. I'm waiting for a 540 motor and another receiver still.

And, I got these with. Looks like some sort of shrink tube, but I don't know what it's for. Anyone know?




Yeah. Shrink tubes. To use with my new dampers? Right.
