It will just be a matter of people getting the pistons right.
Due to the extra displaced volume / mm travel combined with a very different bypass flow percentage (i.e. between piston side and barrel) the big bores are going to be a bit more sensitive to piston & oil changes than what people are used to.
It will just take track time to get right and understandably at an event as important as a Worlds drivers will go with what they feel most confident in. Due to the releative amounts of running I guess for many that was the small bore shocks!!
It will take a while for people to home in on what works best for their particular driving style and tracks, also I imagine the variation in setups being posted by drivers with different styles will be more marked when using big bores.
A few of us Kyosho drivers in the UK are in regular communication comparing our findings, sure it's teh same for all the other manufactures drivers too.
Will soon be the norm I feel to have big bores on.
