I am still testing pistons and oils but a good one is Nick Gurnells tapered pistons on 3 hole all round. 1.5 40w front and 1.7 30w rear.
Car is solid on that.
If you run heavier rather than lighter then run 32.5 rear oil.

Please note I am not convinced yet it's the fastest set up but the car feels real good and jumps exceptionally well on that.

Thanks Tony.

Any advises on what pistons to buy from Nick and what springs to have for the Vega big bores ?

Cheers Gents...

Not sure yet Kev, apparently I'm not allowed it until tomorrow anyway...

Just wanted to get the bits in advance so I can get it built right from the start.

Tony/Kev,

Are you running limters in the front/rear shocks?

Has it turned up yet? It was sent yesterday by special delivery so it should be there soon if not.

I've been using 1.2mm hole all round, 6 hole rear and 4 front with 35 front and 32.5 rear. and its been feeling really good. As Tony said, we are still learning so things might change. Thats also with the kit rear springs and kyosho orange fronts.
