Just curious, what kind of handling difference would i see changing spacers in my shocks. Right now my setup is:

Front:
AE brown
27.5 wt
5 .030 shock limters(per the Pual Wynn setup.
2 .030 spacers under the shock tower ballstud on the most inner hole

Rear:
AE green
25 wt
2 .030 shock limiters in the rear shocks
3 0.30 spacers under the rear ball studs most inner hole


I am fairly new to RC so i'm learning everything, and out of curiosity I would like to play with shock limiters more, what kind of handling differences would expect to add or lose some in the front/rear. Physically I understand what the limiter does, it limits down travel. Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

Doubt you will notice any difference at all. From what I've heard the new orion batteries are over rated at 90C. Probably pulling a Maxamps advertising campain. Whatever sells.

Just looked at orions site.

No where do they list the continous discharge rate. Same stuff Maxamps pulled.

checked mine, no hole and it's not just "flashed over". You could drill it out if you wanted to.

Hello,
I would recommend the same # you normally use.
GHEA2065 = tapered #2
GHEA2065F= flat#2
GHEA2066= tapered #1
GHEA2066F= flat#1
In generall I would use Flat pistons for smooth track surface with hard landings and tapered for rough track surface.

Thanks.

I ran the tapered GHEA pistons in the rear of my car tonight. It made a huge difference. Our track has a woop section that I could never go through at full speed after trying all different set ups. I even tried the RC Shox 2 stage pistons. With these GHEA pistons I can fly through that section at full speed. These things are awesome

I run the RC Shox pistons in my SC10 and they are awesome in there. I think the buggy is just too light for them

what did you have in front regular flat pistons????????

Think of it this way, if you limit down travel you also limit the distance that the chassis can move up under accel/decel. So if you increase the number of limiters in the front shocks you don't allow the front of the car to rise up as much under acceleration. This will give you more exit steering at the possible expense of exit rear traction. If you add limiters to the rear shocks you are limiting the distance that the back of the chassis can rise up under braking. This should give you more corner entrance rear traction and less entrance steering. Make sense?

I beleive I still have the 2 stage pistons up front. I will be putting the GHEA in front before my next race I just did not have the time last night

nobody uses body pins at my track, just velcro, front and back

Is the B4 coming with metric screws? What about B4.1?

Also, what are the bearing differences(part of cars...not exact bearing numbers)?

Thanks.

When switching to the zero degree rear hubs are they still running the carbon camber mount and shaved u brace or is it back to the A and B mount with unshaved u brace

I'm running the #2 flat ghea pistons front and back and am amazed at how well they work. Smooth as Kyosho now!

Okay thanks! I am actually looking for a just a little more entrance traction so maybe I'll try adding to the rear.

Only other question, would the same info be true, if I don't brake through turns? I actually don't use my brake at all except for controlling the pitch of the car in the air, I just get off throttle or get on, because I have found my car will spin out if I apply brake. I've turned it down via esc, but then I can't pitch my car forward in the air too well.
