LCC piston confusion
 

after 2 years with the ax-10 i sold it last week and bought a losi. i had losi shocks on my ax-10. the pistons were pink which is what the #56 is supposed to be, and the cartridge was grey like the shock bodies.

well on my new LCC SN#5367 it has black pistons which are supposed to be the #57(which is what i just bought to change to and how i found this out.), and black cartridges. the parts lists says they are #56. but all #56 pistons are pink.
what gives:?

my LCC also has overly greased packed diffs and V3's CVD.

can anyone shed some light on this for me.

thanks for replys

blacks are 57's not 55's. you are the first that i have seen that has recieved the newest revision of the truck everything should be correct out of the box

noted and changed thanks"thumbsup"
every thing wasnt correct i got 2 left instead of a left and right mounts for the dig servo. hopefully they should be here soon.

Rich stated back when the rig got released that the pistons are molded black in the kit but Are 56's.

wether that has changed I dont know but he'd be the man to answer that.

This is correct.



The stock black ones are #56. The colored pistons are made at a different location. You should be able to tell the difference between the two by looking at the edges on the piston.

yo limpy...what was your serial#? I just got one and it was in the 500's. Thanks.

Interesting....I did not know that...I thought the black/red were different, even
though they are both #56, But its just color....Guess I didn't need to order the
reds up.

I've got a question relating the pistons. How do you know what each piston does differently? How are they different? Fluid holes? Thickness? What?

The pistons have different size holes in them. #56 pistons have drill size 56 holes in them, #55 pistons have size 55, etc. It is a balancing act trying to get the right weight oil with the correct piston hole size.

I read your post yesterday and meant to tell you the stockers are #56. Sorry.

Yup. I just posted the same thing in another thread. I went to the #57 in back keeping the same oil and it makes a drastic difference. Considerably slower, a surprising amount of change really.

Thanks Robbob for the link."thumbsup"

So what's the rule to consider here, larger piston hole bore. Slower reaction? I know oil wt. has a difference. I just don't want to go shooting in the dark

Larger hole would mean less resistance, meaning faster reaction.

Also, the lower the number, the bigger the hole. The lower the number, the heavier the oil to get the same feeling.
