Losi / AE / Kyosho


#54 = .055"
#55 = .052"----- #1 = .052"----- 2B = .051"
#56 = .0465"---- #2 = .0465"---- 2C = .047"
#57 = .043"----- #3 = .043" -----3A = .043"

Hallo Mike, i have testet this now,but something in your List is wrong, because i have 37,5 Losi Oil in the Back with 2C and 3B Pistons,and the 3A are more faster and not so Hard than the 2C.

Where have you the LIST,which do you give post.

Thank You

The information was something i saved from another thread.

the chart shows holes sizes but not how the pistons work as 2 hole and 3 hole pistons work differently.

Yep of course they are there's an extra hole in them.

The 3B pistons are = #56 drill and the 3A's are too small for the #54 drill and too big for the #55, so i would conclude that the 3A's are = #554 losi style. as far as the 2 hole pistons go i think they are exactly the same as the AE ones, ie, 2C = No2 and 2B = No1. I have drilled out some 3B's to #55 so i now have a nice range. At the mo' i am running 3B and 35wt in the front and 3A's in the rear with 30wt. I am trying to work out if i should go to 35wt in the rear too or switch to my drilled #55's as the back seems a little soft. I hope this helps peeps and i hope you'll all chip in as my car is good and begs to be pushed but can get a little out of shape at speed, mine was the black RB5 at coventrys 3/4/5's, in the B final.

Right people beware when you say the same as another make pistons... Just because the holes are the same size doesn't mean if you put them on with the same oil you'll get the same setting as with ae or losi shocks. Fact is that the holes in the pistons only let a relatively low amount of oil through as most of the oil goes through the gap between the piston and the shock body. So unless the shock bodies and pistons diameters are exactly the same as ae or losi you cannot compare them.

OK Dude, noted, but i am only talkin' holes, all things considered piston clearance on most makes will be similar, and Losi pistons are curved on the edges which affects how they work to.
