The standard Dart comes with one pair of dampers which were originally designed for the
Diamond 1/8th scale car.
Two pairs of dampers can be fitted and a mounting kit is available from KP Designs. |

| Notes |
Please Note: You will need to acquire a pair of dampers as KP Designs only supply the fittings.
Fitting the extra set of dampers is a relatively simple operation involving the removal of the side plate spacer post (#76/210), which can be seen in the Build Manual Sheet 11 PDF file. |
| KP Designs Version |
| The KP Designs version shown right uses a longer version of the standard top hat pivot bush (#76/211) and some longer allen cap screws. |

As making the mountings is a straight forward operation (if you have a lathe that is!) I decided to use some spare dampers from my Black Diamond and make some of my own.
My own version uses the original top hat bush and a longer screw in combination with a stepped bush. I decided on this arrangement as it offers better lateral control over the movement of the dampers. |

Shown left is my version of the double damper mountings fitted to the Dart.
Please Note: only one pair of springs is required.
