Nice idea and works in certain conditions but for the life of me i don't understand the hex part - why would you want oil by passing the piston holes apart from just opening the valve - Strange in my opinion!!
I remember those well, CraigD was making little valves out of brown paper to go under the pistons when we were testing at EPO too!

My Dad used to constantly say how the technology inside our shocks will have to move forwards, purely based on what they've done with Motocross bikes - The suspension is SO advanced compared to what R/C has been using for the last few years, even a scaled down version has to work in R/C - Just look at the jumps they can do on an MX bike with no problem of bottoming out etc...
