Drilling out pistons...

[Crazychambers]

Guys,

I've 3 hole pistons all round at the moment, but am advised that drilling them out to losi Blue on the rear and Orange on the front will make them better for outdoors.

Can anyone advise on what effect this will have, and also what size drill bits I need to complete this?

Thanks for your help

If you want Losi piston drills give Northy a shout, he had some a while ago.

Any ideas on the metric equivelent of #54, #55 and #56 holes? I can order drills on my works account but am unsure of sizes. :eh?:

There isn't a metric equivalent, you can get close, but no cigar :(

They are what they are - number drills. :)

Be very carefull when drilling out your pistons.

It is very hard to get a matching set of drilled pistons. There not even the same when manufactured.

the key is not to use a drill and do it by hand :)

Mr G is spot on, but for reference purposes : -
