Where do those fall in the .9-1.1-1.3mm lineup?
The 3 hole Tamiya pistons fall between the 1.1mm and 1.3mm pistons as far as pack and dampening. Since the Tamiya pistons are 3 small holes versus 2 larger holes they will react quicker due to the increase on the "pack" of the shock.
The Tamiya pistons also do not fit perfectly into the shock bodies. There is a bit of blow-by between the body and piston. They still have more pack than the 1.3mm pistons though.
I think this year the 1.1mm or possibly the 0.9mm pistons will be seen a lot more. They will give the car more reaction and faster transitions.

Hex question. I have been running narrow hexes all around as that is how the car came when I bought it used. I broke one when I first had the car because I had never had a car with clamp hexes before and didn't realize how fragile they are. So I bought 2 new narrow hexes for like 18$ and vowed to be extra careful whenever I tightened them up. Well I broke another today (a rear hex) despite tightening slowly and just tightening it enough to keep it on the stub axle. Has anyone used any other hexes that are more durable? Are there any downsides to using a slide on version? Not a knock on Corally but I must just not have the dexterity or fine motor skills to keep my hexes in one piece. Or perhaps the wide hexes aremore durable as they have more meat on them. Thanks y'all!
