The 2 hole pistons handled very similar but didn't bottom out nearly as much. Thanks to Casper, Ryan and rcgod for letting me know about this setup.

Where can I find these pistons ?

You can always make them by filling in 2 of the stock holes and drilling the other 2.You can use CA glue to fill them in or use a soldering iron to melt the holes over.

Sheesh, I keep finding SCTE part manufacturers that are new to me.

Anybody have any experience with the parts from Hot Racing ?
http://www.hot-racing.com/index.cgi?c=629
They seem to have a dual bearing motor mount like King Heads (only this one is a lot cheaper AND includes the top and front as well),
and other funky stuff.. (aluminum Diff case, "Rear Knuckle with graphite Mount" etc.)

What are you using to hold the motor heat sink in place? I have one similar to that but have been chicken to use it b/c I think it's going to slide back and short out the motor.

Yeah just use a 1.3mm drill bit on a finger drill.if you use a power drill the plastic will get hot and deform the holes.I think racers edge sells the bits with a handle already on them.
