That surprises me, as the tamiya pistons have a smaller outer diameter, which give them A LOT softer feel in the shock. Remember that even a small difference in outer diameter has a massive effect as a lot more oil will pass around the piston.

Well in fact I tried tamiya pistons in yokomo shocks, and I measured diameter for losi, yokomo and tamiya pistons, and got dimension from elvo on the Kyosho shocks. The tamiya pistons in yokomo shocks didn't work as they felt way too smooth, even with the smallest hole diameters.

Wraggy, do you have anything to put in yokomo shocks (no big bore)? As no one seems to know what the different types of yokomo pistons really are, it would be nice to have a decent set for them. But maybe the kyosho ones fit allright, if these shocks have the same shaft diameter (metric).
