| MIP bypass valves
Has anybody tried these with powerstroke shocks? Was wondering how they would perform on a U4 rig.

I have them in two sets of big bores on two U4 rigs, it's the only way I have found to get them tuned well for high speed. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk |

Your best bet is to measure the pistons , shafts and bodies to make sure they fit. That's pretty much all that matters. If the dimensions are the same, the pistons won't know the difference . Sent from my XT1526 using Tapatalk |

I run on my SC trucks and if you take your time and effort and patients it well take you a good week over a period of time changing disc or oil or both but make one change at a time so you don't get miss up and right down what you did really help me and springs and real put your mind into it THEY ARE KILLER when I was running I had a set of shocks for the 2 tracks that I run with notes and don't give your info to others or they well be beating you lol your shock setup is top secret!! |

Sounds like I would need to get fired up for alot of tuning until I get it right.

I love my bypass pistons. You should be able to tune the compression and extension separate from each other. Anything else is unacceptable. I think my favorite thing about them is that most will never want to deal with the tuning to get it right. That means its a big advantage for me because I am willing to put in the time and at that point, it makes a huge difference. I did a bit of a write up in my build thread. Dlux Berg Build |

Its cool. Thanks for the insight. I run clapped out mini T pink springs. I dont know of any springs that are significantly softer. I have softened up the pink springs by hand grinding them a bit. It brought other negative characteristics though. |

Don't know if any of you fellers know about the RPM shock valves ?? there not as high tech but still a advantage semi different set up,, you tune with hole sizes but still have a split bypass valve setup for choosing your rebound style in them. But I run them for a year or so before the MIP real shock valves came out and same thing if you dedicate yourself to them for a bit and do the work take the notes they work pretty darn good to I did have a little problem of and on with valve sticking and matching piston to bore size,, thought I would throw these in the mix to but to be truthful I don't know if they even make any more..

i have the rpm clicker pistons in a couple rc10's, they work killer once you figure out the right combo to use.

| Re: MIP bypass valves LOL never heard them called that but perfect they should rename them that ya I run them for I can't really remember but for will like say only problem I had with them is the clicker would stop clicking lol manly my fault from missing with to much was always trying to make better and they were bad ass and funny no one wanted to deal with and really just putting them in they were improvment as long as you didn't get to thick oil in them.
