I wasn't sure you were referring to thr RPMs either...

Each kit comes with 12 pistons (4 sets of each of 3 hole diameters). I set mine up with blue in the rear (supposed to be equivalent between AE #1 and #2 pistons) 27,5wt losi oil, and green front (supposed to be equivalent #2 AE pistons) with 32.5 wt Losi oil. It was a bit harsh on a fairly bumpy loose clay track. Tonight I'm rbuilding my shocks (new O-rings) and I think I'm going to but blue in front (1.5 AE equivalent) and white in back(equivalent AE#1). And keep the same oil weights... Or keep the same pistons and chane out the oil for 2.5wt lighter all round... I,ll see...

Cheers Mate, Mark.

Woo Hoo!!! my first two page thread on oople althought it did get a little confusing in the middle there

[jaxx]

It was only confusing because i was involved :P

[alan p]

That goes without saying

BTW look at the club overal points two points behind you

I find Losi orange pistons work well on the back of my B44, they go straight in and it's transformed the way the car goes over the bumps....

Thought i'd share this

what weight oil do you run with the orange pistons?

[Mike Parker]

I either use associated 25wt & 30wt oil dependant on the track.

Ok so i have the Ghea pistons now thanks to Jaxx, do you fit them with the taper facing upward or down

[/tobys]

facing down - this speeds the return.

[walden]

ghea number 2's in front, ghea number 1's in rear and associated 25wt rear & 30wt front oil

What colour springs would work best with this set up on a grass slightly bumpy track? also how do you set the rebound on the shocks if need be?

Cheers for your help

Anybody know if any Losi pistons sit between Assoc #1 and #2's in terms of 'pack'? I'm finding #1's are ok in the back but slap on landing after jumps, #2's not so hot on small bumps. Where do the losi orange sit?

Cheers.

I've got some RPM dual pistons and after checked the holes the RPM whites have a massive hole compared to associated no 1's even though they claim they are the same.

I'm going to try the yellow pistols in the front with 40wt oil as the holes are the same size as Associated no2 holes.

In the rear I'm going to use blues with 25wt or 30wt as the holes are slightly smaller than Associated 1's.

In theory you can run heavier damping because of the faster rebound.

I will let everyone know what they are like after the NE Teeside Regional.

I think the RPM piston are spot on, this is the setup I used on grass. It propably seems this setup is quite hard but you'll be supprised.

Blues in the back with 30wt and Yellows up front with 45wt.

This setup also works quite well indoor too.
