| 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 Last edited by limpy88; 02-24-2010 at 01:15 AM. |

Rich stated back when the rig got released that the pistons are molded black in the kit but Are 56's. Shock Pistons? wether that has changed I dont know but he'd be the man to answer that. |

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. | |

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. |

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

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