Is there a general concensus on what is the best pistons for the front and rear shock on a 210? ie what configuration, hole size, tapered etc.

Also what sort of weight of oils?

Currently running tapered pistons front and rear

Front 4 x 1.4 37.5 wt AE oil
Rear 4 x 1.5 30 wt AE oil.

been trying to get a general set up.

any help is great

cheers

windy

Not to long ago, a did abit of a count up off submitted team driver setup sheets, for the tracks i race at, Batley, RHR, Chadderton and a few others, 4 X 1.4 front and 4 x 1.5 rear seemed to pop up most often and 35wt front and either 30 or 27.5 rear, though obviously there were other variations and combination's but these seemed to be the most common.

Don't just install it all at once, take one piece test it then try another etc maybe take something off and try different combos. Your setup could be in the middle of all the weight

Like all thing's RC it's all down to personal preferance, i've run both noel's brass bulkhead and the kit one at the same meet, all depends on what handling characteristics you want, track, weather etc etc i'd suggest start with none and use when required.
