I like things in simple terms 
Just out of interest can anyone tell me why Associated pistons work differently to the Losi pistons ? |
using thinner oil and smaller holes does make the flow of oil more turbulant at high speeds so yes.
light oil + small holes = more pack therefore more high speed damping rate
thick oil + large holes = less pack therefore less high speed damping rate
with the right combitnation of oil and piston both could feel very similar on the bench.
AE pistons are 2 holes, each hole is bigger than the Losi 3 hole pistons. Losi pistons also have rounded edge vs the square edged AE pistons, I'm sure this also has some effect, some oil will always get around the outside of the piston so with that in mind I'd say the Losi piston is more prone to pack
