Episode Details

On some R/C club forums they say that you can and should upgrade your Tamiya TRF (Tamiya Racing Factory) Buggy Aeration Oil-Filled Dampers to TRF Fluorine reservoirs, but this is absolutely incorrect advice. You should avoid these Fluorine dampers for your off-road buggy. However, there is an actual HL (High Lubrication) damper than you can upgrade to and Tamiya even recommends this upgrade path for radio-controlled buggies. In this episode of the RC Deep Dive podcast we explain why fluorine fails for off-road and when HL is actually the appropriate R/C buggy hop-up, because it isn't always the right choice.
