I tried the 5x1.35 pistons and to me it felt like the car's handling became inconsistent. So now I'm on the hunt for something different to try.
I am using Vision Racing Products 5x1.5 pistons with a 400cst range of oils and the car is planted. I highly recommend VRP pistons in a ebuggy so you can have enough pack for over jumping but keeping your rebound consistent.
