What's with tapered pistons?

[Rebelrc]

Hello racers
What benefits are you finding from running these?
Or do they not make any difference over normal kit ones?

Are you sure it's not just psychological with the pistons? Cause you have paid for them.
I just cannot see that they make any difference

hey buddy

yeah unfortuantly i was still in nottingham great place but proper crap when you are still there ar 5.30 and 200miles to go to get home.

anyway i think again i do feel they make a differnce not sure about the whole science thing but in comparison back to back running the taperd do feel better in my view.

they could be a simular debate about big bore shocks aswell as there is no reason why the piston hole size oil wt and spring tuned perfectly could give the same feel pack consitance as a smaller bore shock. it seems to me the reason why bigbores work is because the cars are heavier than ever and the shocks are setup differnetly.

ill be there wednesday
