Default Pistons

Recently picked up a used 410V3 to play with, im in need of some information on pistons. Most setup sheets I see state 2/3 holes at 1.7 or there about.
Ive got a wide selection of pistons with the car, however they are 6 hole at 1.2/1.3/1.4 etc.
Is there alot of difference between the lesser holes to 6?

Yes, lots of difference. Of the half dozen at our club who are using or used to use durango, i can't think of any using stock pistons.

BTW, if you are careful, and clean the pistons well, you can seal 3 holes of a 6 holer with the tip of a soldering iron.

Or you can seal them up with Polymorph (Polycaprolactone) - it's a plastic that is malleable at 60 degrees centigrade. A soldering iron may work, but you'll probably change the shape of the piston a lot. Stuffing it with Polymorph means you can make it a subtle and flat filling - I've been driving with 3-hole and 4-hole pistons modded like that for half a season in my DEX210 and my FWD Buggy and it works perfectly

Which pistons are being used if the stock ones are redundant?
Part numbers would be appreciated
