I’ve got a couple of pics, but they keep failing to upload when I try to post them

Strange, very easy on most devices from my experience.

John Myall

I think there must be a size limit for pictures, I ran them through the PC & made them smaller.

Sharp stuff there. What are you running in the shocks for fluid and piston? I looked around and didn't see any non drilled piston options.

John Myall

I normally run 40-42.5 in the front, with a 2x1.6mm piston & 30wt with a 2x1.7mm piston in the rear.

These are the blank pistons https://www.dms-racing.com/index.php...ategory_id=548

Or there are some new 2hole moulded ones https://www.dms-racing.com/index.php...ategory_id=548

I drilled the blank ones out before the others were available.

blank pistons are available on the carisma website i think. i couldnt get any locally so i just glued and drilled as needed, took all of 5 mins to do

Nice find, guys. Wish they would adapt to a common piston so aftermarket choices would be there.

Do any of you guys have a shock piston bore or piston size? The thickness seems thinner than most others at the e clip.

I don't think there is a need as they make several options now pre drilled or blanks or mod the kit ones....the short course world youtube video has the part numbers that he used to change pistons and shafts

Factory ones would be best. Although some others interchange as noted, they may be smaller in diameter and contribute to some binding or reduced efficiency. Had this on my xb2 with associated pistons. That YouTube video didn't give any details on fit, just part numbers. May work fine with thicker oils than stock with stock pistons.

Can the steering servo be mounted on either side? Anyone weigh and check weight distribution between the battery types?

damang999

Yes I believe the servo can go on either side...and I only run shorty Batts

John Myall

Yes, the servo can be fitted either side, I built mine opposite to the instructions & put it on the right hand side of the car, so it was layed out the same as the B64 I was running before.

Haven’t got any saddles to check for different weight.

Is a 2018 model coming?

John Myall

I’m not sure about that, but since there is now a very, very good driver in the U.K. team, I can see things moving forward quite nicely, quite quickly
