yes - or go halves with a like-minded individual!

however, if the #2 has the same pack as an AE #2 but a return speed similar to a #1, the magic #2 might be the "magic" ticket anyway!

With the ghea pistons does it allow the use of thicker oils? I.e. if you used 25w with the AE pistons, but would use 30w with the Ghea pistons?

Also as with normal pistons, there is no 'best piston'. It depends on the track. The pistons allow you to keep smaller holes (good for landing jumps) even on rougher terrain (where you would use bigger holes). The pistons combine the positive effects of both.

For example with losi: On a rough dirt track you would maybe use orange piston instead of red to handle the bumps better. But then your car will slam down its chassis when landing from big jumps. With these pistons you just take the tapered red version. Over the bumps, shocks will go out fast as with orange pistons, keeping contact with the surface, and therefore handle bumps better. But when landing the jumps, shocks go in, using the non tapered side, giving you the effect of a normal red piston, so the car won't slam its chassis on the ground.

So in my opinion these pistons work best on bumpier tracks with larger jumps. Or high grip bumpy tracks, as almost any track in the UK.

answer was just one click away...

the Team tend to run the same weight oils Mikey as it doesnt change the actual damp on the compression so gives the same effect , its the return thats differernt to standard pistons .

Just thought i'd say i ordered some and recieved sharp! Many thanks!

Only fault would be how would you tell the different pistons apart if you mixed them up? As there the same colour.

There should be dots, moulded onto the pistons to tell them apart.
