I was finally able to try out the new TRIFEX piston kit from RCSHOX.COM Normally running on a very smooth carpet track, I never had a "need" for the car to get back to ride height immediately after landing a jump. Knowing that the track i was going to be headed to was very tight and with short,steep jumps and non forgiving landings, i through in a set of trifex pistons ( 1.3compression and 1.5 rebound) in the buggy. I started with associate 27.5 in the front and 22.5 in the rear. I didnt notice a huge difference in handeling right off the bat, but once racing started and i was attacking the jumps with more speed, and overshooting them more than i should, i saw that the car wasn't "at rest" as long, after flat landing. it was coming right back up and ready for the next turn/jump almost instantly. With a little more time, and testing, Im sure these will be the hot setup, especially on tracks that have stutter bumps and/or turns right after the landing of a jump. Another great product !!!! I also tried the new slipper eliminator and spur gear......ZUM ZUM !!! Not only did it wind up faster, but it lowered motor temps by almost a full 10* !!!!

MantisWorx: Looking at the newGen/white pistons... is the bottom 4-hole piston a bit smaller than the top 6-hole... so on rebound some oil gets to flow around the outside of the piston? The two pistons look the same diameter: so I'm trying to get my brain around how they work. (e.g. how the top 6-hole helps rebound if the oil has to go through the 4-hole first?)

Thanks!

Why aren't the Schumacher Cat K1 pulleys on your website? I tried to buy them from Discount RC, but they are out of stock.

Hey Marcus..!

New Schuie Tri-Fex are sweet..! These are by far the easiest to install. Really helps make the car feel consistent and confident... Ended up white base/black insert 350cst in front and white base/white insert 300cst in the rear ...

Do RCshox make garodisc slipper pads for Team C TM2 and TM4?
I see a tab for them on your website but it states that no such product is available.

Cheers

3D printed ride height gauges!
There will be an option to have your personal name printed into the guages (or whatever you want)!
