Are the shock pistons interchangable between the B44 and zx-5 in terms of:

Outer Diameter
Inner Diameter
Thickness

Thanks!!

Not sure as I've never tried (even though I have a full set of both AE and Losi pistons) as the Kyosho pistons cover the range required for all the tracks I've run on. In fact, I very rearly changed pistons in either RB5 or ZX5-SP

Just happen to ave some out---- Kyosho piston approx 9.7mm OD, Associated approx 10.5 OD, the associated wont even push in the Kyosho shock body. (these are original ZX-5 body's).

Wonder if putting losi or associated shocks on the Kyosho would work it for you. Losi shocks are hard to find just now, but there should be a few associated sets around.
