Indeed it does...please read my original post.

"I'm seeing reference to 2x1.5 Flat V2 pistons in some SC5m setups. Not finding them from AE anywhere. Are they just not out yet?"

Flat V2 being the key...the newer screw mounted assembly.

Thanks for commenting, but I don't require any further information. I have access to many sponsored drivers, however my local track is a pinch more than an hour away, and I thought someone might have more up to date product information than myself. At no time did I consider, or want to consider, drilling my own pistons or fabricating parts. Thanks for everyone's responses, but we can move on.

Screw mounted 1.5 on Amain and tower,,,no sponsored people needed,,Come to an average joe site and get average joe answers. I love when people ask for information and get pissy with what they get

Hmm, yup no 1.5, I see 1.4 and others

To my knowledge (and AE's site) they do not offer a V2 piston in the 1.5 size.

It's Friday, let's all get along and be happy. There's no need for name calling.

And FYI, yes pistons can be drilled with a fair amount of accuracy given the right tools.

I'm being nice but I don't want to have to come back in here.

Instead of editing your post maybe you should man up and openly admit you were wrong! Especially after you had the gall to call the guy a douche. Don't worry, the egg on your face will wash off.

I'm done in here.

Yeah it was pretty childish, that's why I did edit it, I'm sure his sponsored guys will get him squared away,,,looked to me like everyone was trying to help and he sure told us what mere peons we are. I do apologize for saying he looked like a douche,,,on to good sc5m info

So what is main difference you noticed? Is it just easier to driver hard or does it handle the track better? I have been contemplating switching to SC5M from SCT2.0 (My buggy and ST are Associated - like them both)

Just trying to determine if it a large step up in performance...

I just switched from a 22 SCT in mm config. Its a pretty substantial improvement. I was able to achieve the same feel in rear traction with 2° less rear toe and it feels like the roll centers are better balanced from front to rear. Its definitely easier to work on too.

Thanks for the quick reply -

Just another quick question - were you running the +3mm offset on the SC5M? Just unfortunate that all the 0 offset will need to be re-purchased, but I guess that is way it needs to be.

Has anyone left 0 offset front and just used T5M axles with 8.5mm hex - only 2.5 vs the 3mm per side. Anyone modified anything for the rear to use 0 offset rims yet get max width of truck?

It's helped me to visualize offset dimensions in determining how I might run other wheels and maintain similar track width.

For example positive offset results in a narrower track with negative offset the opposite. Simple image to illustrate that concept.

I switched to the +3 offset when I moved to the SC5M

I certainly do that with all new purchases, but man I've a ton of SCTE/Tekno wheelsets I'd like a chance to burn through if I can get the track width similar. At least for practice...

Thanks for the information.

I hear you guys. Anyone want to buy any tires mounted on zero offset rims, mwahahaha. I did keep some of my +3 tires from when I ran my SC10.2 back in the day. That helped me a bit at least.
