| Gmade piggies... What piston to run?
I'm about to put my new shocks together and I'm wondering what piston you guys are running? The kit comes with 2, 3 and 4 hole pistons. 1.9 wraith btw, if that makes a difference. |

I run the 3 hole in my scx10 but they leak horribly, but on a good note they perform excellent. I'm going to try some blue traxxas O rings, this will be the last of many attempts to stop the leaking. Pro lines are next in line, I run three sets of them now and never an issue. My G mades are the piggy backs. I hope your luck is better then mine. |

I'll probably run the 3 hole too. Hopefully mine don't leak too much, well hopefully they don't leak at all! I've read a bunch of reviews of people going back and forth about leaks. Some leak, some don't leak a drop. I wouldn't mind topping off fluid now and then if they perform well.

I have 2 sets, one is leak free and one leaks like the exon valdez...both were built the same way...not sure why the one set leaks. I can only guess the manufacturing tolerances vary quite a bit...

This pack of shocks is missing Orings! 2 different sizes. Oring s7 6.5x1.5 and Oring P4 3.8x1.9 |

There is a auto parts store a few towns over that is the "go to" for stuff that autozone and pepboys typically don't have. I'll have to try them tomorrow. I emailed RPP anyway.

I'm running mine with the 3 hole pistons and yeah they leak a little too. As for O rings, if you want a better quality version, get the air conditioning ones (they're green) They're a lot tougher/stronger than the black ones. |

I have the piggies on my exo with the 3 hole they leak just a tad and I jump and hill climb my exo all the time. I think they do well. They allow the suspension to bounce when its jumped but they stiffen up on the rebound. The shocks in my Wraith ( stock shocks) are hard and dont love at all when jumped. I need to get better ones.

These shocks are not going to work out for me. Not only are they missing orings, they are also missing the reservoir body and the little springs that go inside. On top of the missing parts, big bore shocks may not work for me either. The fit is very tight up front with the gear head lowering kit and also pretty tight with the Werty cage in the rear. May have to explore stock size bore shocks. Losi's....Or maybe just upgrade my axials with aluminum bodies and run them. Anyone have suggestions for "normal" size shocks? |
