Difference between AE and LOSI piston set ups

[RogerM]

Anybody know of any charts / info that compares AE and LOSI pistons in AE shock bodies?

Trying to compare Richard's set-up for Kiddy as a best guess starting point for CML raceway and all of his set-ups are based on LOSI pistons which I won't have for Sunday

Might make the difference between racing at CML and not this weekend so any help greatly appreciated!!!!!

I'm sure you can get the car to work well enough with AE Pistons, ask Lee what he runs in his B44..... i know it'll be Associated Pistons but not sure which - His car was dialled round there last time.

Other thing to consider is that this track has literally no bumps, so shock set-up is not as important as a track such as Kiddy. It's all Tarmac underneath the Astro so there's nothing that will catch you out

AE pistons are just dandy.....................

run 1's in rear. 2 in frnt and 30wt all round......................

acts as a good starter and will be dialled!

I found this over on rctech, so Im not sure if it 100% accurate.
