Guys

I know that losi pistons are numbered 55, 56 etc but was is the actual bore size of the holes in the pistons. Also think i can remember that if you increase piston size from a 56 to 55 a increase in 5w oil gives the same pack but will slightly react quicker? am i roughly about right or totally wrong?

Any help is appreciated

Cheers

And yes, one size is about 5wt.

cheers elvo for the chart, but does anyone know the actual size of the holes in a 55(orange) piston. Trying to drill out pistons to 55(orange) instead of 56(red) with increasing shock oil by 5wt to keep the same pack as using 35 and 25wt oil. Any help would be appreciated.

1 inch = 25.4mm. Get a calculator. Or look at this chart: http://www.csgnetwork.com/drillsizeconvert.html

#55 IS the size, you can get the correct drill bits to drill the pistons if you want :thumbsup:
