Damper pistons
Hope someone can help, which damper pistons should i be using with 30/40wt oil, i'm running #1 pistons at the moment, i changed the oil when rebuilding the dampers with white O-rings, Now it seams to bounce a little to much.

do you mean the car bounces too much on the track? over/through bumps or off jumps?
30wt with #1's in the rear shouldn't be too far away but I know the Ghea pistons are popular - check http://www.p-dubracing.co.uk/ for availability. with #1's you might find that you are bottoming out off jumps and/or big bumps, so increasing the pack (by using a smaller holed piston, such as #2) might help. however, the #2 pistons will not normally go through rough stuff as well as #1 - thats where the Ghea pistons come in. |

Yes it seamed to have a rebound on rough sections but landed fine after big jumps,

do you know if anyone has tried the RPM dual rate type?

ghea number 2's in front, ghea number 1's in rear, simples

Alan if your thinking of getting some ghea piston, PM me we go halves on 2 packs. Works out a bit cheaper

I've got them in mine. They work well but I don't have enough track time on them to give a good honnest review of them yet.

thanks for the reply CODMAN, seems like you are reasonably pleased with them. Where did you get them from? I can only seem to find them on Feebay USA at the moment. Did you get light/medium or medium/heavy?
Cheers, Mark. |

I got them at my LHS, but I'm in Canada so no idea who would have them in the UK. I know Amain hobbies has them if you want to order...
http://www.amainhobbies.com/product_...ight-Medium-12 I got the light-medium for my B4 and am running 27.5wt rear/ 32.5wt front Losi oil on a fairly bumpy track. They work well, but I need to tune the oil a bit more. Maybe go down 2.5wt all round... Cheers! |

OK, got a set ordered from JE Spares here in the UK. Which colour did you use? I think I will start with Losi 30 at front and 25 at back with silver springs all round. Its a B4 by the way.
Cheers Mate, Mark. |

I ordered Ghea pistons from P-Dub racing. Apparently there magic! as for colours i'll be using black at the back and the front? They only come in one colour. What have you ordered then?

Looks like we have two threads going in one here lads!!!
Sorry if I messed it up. Jaxx, I ordered the RPM pistons, they come in different colours depending on the rating. I'll let you all know how I get on with them. If they dont work I'll try the Ghea ones, but for £6 they are worht a try. Cheers, Mark. |
