The Thunder Tiger S3 buggy was originally released with dual-stage pistons, they had a few ball bearings inside them that would block holes on either bump or rebound (can't remember what was the suggested setting).
No surprise when all the team switched to standard pistons and Thunder Tiger released standard ones shortly after.
The RC cars and shocks are so small and lightweight that these multi-stage pistons just don't have the chance to work, or be truly adjustable. Adjusting low speed damping with oil weights and high-speed damping with piston holes seems the most usable compromise - and we rarely change those settings by more than about 10%!
