Friction Damper Set (MR-04/MM)

The Hobby Hideaway Verdict: Essential Rear Traction Control! At Hobby Hideaway, we know that keeping the rear end of your Mini-Z planted is the key to faster exit speeds. The Kyosho Friction Damper Set for the MR-04/MM is a critical upgrade for any racer looking to smooth out their car's handling. By adding adjustable friction to the rear pod’s movement, this set minimizes unwanted bouncing and helps maintain consistent tire contact with the track, especially through high-speed sweepers and bumpy sections of our Orléans track.

Smooth and Stable Pod Movement This set is specifically designed for the MR-04 and MR-04EVO2 using the MM (Mid-Motor) mount configuration. It works by sandwiching grease between the plates to provide "damping," which controls how quickly the rear pod leans during cornering. This allows you to fine-tune the side-to-side roll and fore-aft pitching of your chassis, giving you a significantly more stable and predictable ride compared to a stock spring-only setup.

Key Features & Technical Specs:

• Adjustable Damping: By changing the viscosity of the friction grease used on the plates, you can customize the damping force to match your driving style and track traction levels.

• Precision Carbon Components: Features high-quality plates that offer a smooth, flat surface for consistent friction and long-term durability under race conditions.

• Optimized for MR-04 Series: Tailored specifically to fit the mounting points of the MR-04 and MR-04EVO2 chassis in the MM motor mount position.

• Enhanced Rear Traction: Greatly reduces the "chatter" or hopping that can occur during hard acceleration or mid-corner bumps, keeping your power on the ground.

• Modular Setup: Designed to work in tandem with a central oil damper to provide a complete, pro-level suspension solution.

• Technical Specs: Compatible with Kyosho Mini-Z MR-04 and MR-04EVO2 (MM Mount). Includes friction plates, springs, and necessary mounting hardware.
