Lee, I've just got a complete set for my 808 buggy I'll let you know what I think about them.

Tim

Tim,

He's talking about the 1/10th piston not 1/8th.....

Aye,I knew he was I was just going to let him know what they are like in an 1/8th as well as someone else with a 1/10 :lol:

Funky :)

these do look nice, might have to aquire some;):thumbsup:

The 8th Pistons are already awesome! we use them all the time without fail!

So the opposite theory to real rally car dampers, which are stiffer in rebound by a ratio of as much as 3:1. Has anyone tried them the other way up?

i think that may be because real rally cars dont jump 10-20 times there own hight and same in distance lap after lap,

Yes.

All depends how the shocks work...real cars pistons wont have a gap around the outside..whereas AE shocks have a small gap, so this forces the oil around the shock piston causing it to rebound faster! ;-)

I think you are saying that, in scale terms, 1/10 off road dampers experience higher forces than a full size rally car, when jumping.

If you are bored at lunchtime try working this out;

1) Kinetic energy of a 1.6kg 1/10 off road car just before hitting the ground from a jump 20 times the cars height.
2) Kinetic energy of a 1500kg WRC car just before hitting the ground from a jump 2 or 3 times its height (Rally New Zealand). ;)

So what's the verdict on these? What sort of surfaces do they give you a particular benefit on - the bumpy ones, or large jumps?

I reckon they are really good got them in my Losi shocks which where already great but now feel even smoother ......

bumpy pitter patter tracks you will feel most advantages

I believe they are best at bumpy, medium to high grip tracks that also have large jumps, like the euro's in bilbao.

The chamfered side makes the shocks rebound faster, but the pack when landing from jumps is the same. So you can keep smaller hole pistons on bumpy tracks. You get the best of both worlds: good landing from the big jumps, and good handling in the bumps because the rebound is fast, so wheels keep contact with the ground.

I really felt the difference in bilbao, the car was a lot better at the complete banked section, from right after the quad all the way down to the dirt section.

But for me the inserts were the biggest difference in Bilbao. After 6 free practises, 2 timed practice and 3 heats full of mistakes, I took the rymart inserts and drove 2 flawless heats, resulting in a 13 and 19th place, compared to the 30-40th place before!!!

Im interested in trying some in my 808, sound a great idea. Is it Ghea3090 that fit the 808?

But can I rely in rymart racing ??? I've ordered them some ghea products in May and I have no news, no money, no items and they don't reply to my emails. Why ???

Lee won't rip you off mate, it'll be a mix up somewhere. Send him a PM on here and i'm sure he'll sort it out.:)

B44 setup worksop
 

Has anyone got setup for Worksop indoor for B4?

Are you using the new magic Ghea pistons Nick?

lee do any of these fit the d8?

typical d8 piston is:

15.85mm diameter.
2.5mm thick.
center bore of 2.8mm.

the shock has a bore of 15.90mm

cheers

is there anywhere else that does the ghea pistons for the rc8b as emailed rymart twice now and still no responce, fills me with great anticipation should i actually get to order some from them

U can try to email ghea.se directly

Are you sure your emails have been sent correctly and when did you send each email?

Wraggy is normalyl super fast at responding without missing a email, let alone 2?

Just want to share my experience with Ry-mart.

Before the off-road Euros in Spain, I sent them an email asking if they could bring some stuff with them.

Trackside at the Euros all I had ask for was there waiting for me.

So my experience with them has been top notch!!

MiCk B. :-)

Hi Tim with reference to this email i have only received one from you via our contact form and it was only yesterday ? unfortunatly i was racing all weekend and didnt get back till last last night so therefore have only got round to sorting the emails out from the weekend .
i have replied to your response which i hope you find satisfactory.

many thanks

ive got your email paul and looks yes its perfect, have responded to it, dont think i was having a go just want to get the car finished and i did not really want to have the wait to get them from outside the uk

Hoping everythings sorted now. If anyone ever has any queries just pm myself or Wraggy on here as emails can sometimes be lost in the magic world of cyberspace!!!

And if it's over the weekend it's 99% likely we will both be racing, so emails will be replied to on Monday!

Many thanks

paul have you got the lightweight drive cups and wheel shaft kit ghea 2036 in stock

hey guys, i m just seeing this post and ordered piston AE type 2 for my b4 but anyone can tell me if is a big upgrade ???

the handling are better than ae shock with new cap and losi piston ?

I have found the pistons to be a big improvement, deffo worth the money :thumbsup:

+1. These are now a permanent feature in all my cars. :thumbsup:

they help you to drop down your lap time ?

And just a question, the losi piston 56 will help to drop down lap time or we can run fast with AE piston ?

Wraggy, i know Lees not dealing with these anymore but just a couple of question for you!

Im using losi red pistons in x6, which associated pistons in the RMR range are closest to these????

Also ordered a Blue GHEA front brace on Thurs havnt recieved it yet not had any confirmation either have you got the order definetly, paid via papyapl as requested :p

One other thing, i need a pair of No2 and a pair of No1 pistons for the B44, could you do a set of 4 as above instead of 4 of each!

Gaz

Hi Gaz not sure about whats closest to the Losi Red piston in Associated but we do the Losi Ghea pistons also.
i have your order for your front brace also and will be posted to you monday (wasnt ordered till fri;) 5march 12.28 pm:p) and by the time i get home post has gone.

i cant split packs though mate im afraid and have to sell them as they come .. sorry.

any more questions then ask

thanks

Thanks bud!
Did i realy order that brace friday, thought it was thursday?? :cry:
Piston wise for Losi, think its a 56 the Red losi piston???
Do you have these in the GHEA range?
So id have to buy a pack of no2 and no 1 GHEA AE pistons then would i?? :confused:
Gaz

yes mate time flies :woot:
yeah we do the red Losi piston in the Ghea range, and im afraid i cant split the packs so have to but a pack of 2's and 1's im afraid, it has been known to run the same pistons front and back and its how we have to order them direct from Ghea im afraid.

thanks
