Drilling pistons, DEX410 and 210

[DangerCow]

I just got a piston hand-drill to drill my own pistons, and wondering what has been successful for others. I am currently running a DEX210 and DEX410 on high-grip carpet.

Durango drivers (Neumann and Honigl) seem to often be running smaller rear holes than front (f 4x1.4, r 4x1.3, for example), and I would assume it would be the other way around. Any ideas there?

Thanks for the help!

i thought the other way round wud be better to but thats the way they usually run them lol

i run in big bores 1.6 by 3 front with 450 and 1.6 by 4 rear 350 in both cars standard springs but for 210 craig runs light green rear spring with that setup, this has worked really well for me!

hope this helps

I think that it will depend mostly on the track you run at.
A lot of UK tracks are open and flowing with not a lot of big jumps and most of the tracks I run at are tight and technical due to space.

Post a pic of the track if you can
What tires are you running?

At the weekend I was at:
F 2x1,4 35 Light Brown (will go harder)
R 4x1,3 30 Dark Green (will try harder)

I also ran the +8 chassis so when I try the alu one again Ill go a little harder all round

I've driven Losi cars for the past 15 years now and recently switched to durango in 4wd since I got fed up with all the broken belts in my xx4 and just wanted to try something else.

But all these piston sizes! Where do I start? How many do I need? Try to figure out by looking at pro drivers setups but it seems that everyone is running different pistonsetups. It's all from 3 to 6 holes with everything from 1.2 to 1.7mm holes! Losi was great in that way that you just needed 4 pistonsizes. I'll be running bigbores by the way.

I'd like some more piston blanks, other than the ones that came with the buggies. There is this tree:

but to me, there doesn't seem to be any blanks in the set?

I think you can't go wrong with 4x 1.3 or 1.4
Also with the tree you are better off getting the tapered piston sets from durango with either 4/5 or 6 holes at 1.1 so you can drill what you want.

I think GEHA do blank tapered and im sure nick on here would do blanks for ya those are also tapered, but he might beable to do standard one. Youll have to ask
