i see it as if you have a one of each size of shock, and they both have the same oil and spring rate and also have the same surface area of holes in them, the one with the larger diameter piston will automatically give more inital pack once it is asked to work thus making it better for landing of jump, but on the flat(ish) bumpy stuff it would be worst for being to hard initally and make it unstable or maybe bounce?
Ie it takes greater force to move the oil through the larger diameter piston as there is more oil trying to squeeze through the same gap, thus making it a hard ride.
Mikeyscott,
I think the only reason why losi shock are in most people minds the best out there, is they allow the smooth flow of the oil due to chamfered edges v`s the square like edges of most others.
And the guys talking about temp changes!! it`s silicone oil isn`t it? so it`s viscosity shouldn`t change.the change happens to the shock body itself. and expands with heat, which then lets the oil pass on the outside of the piston giving the illusion it thinned the oil.
I like the original SX shocks i would be very happy to have them on my SV when Schumacher release it, so if anyone whats to swap new set of normal bore Schumacher Shocks for the big bores, i would.
