They are 100% for the big bore shock(16mm). And for the life of me, since i did not write the setup down, i cant remember what oils im using, but I tink Mantis is right. Although I am certain he drilled out the rebound in the pistons in the rear. Mantis are the shocks being sold 1.1 comp and 1.3 rebound?

1/10 Associated pistons are only made as custom, they are too small for production

Marcus, there is at least 7 S10's here in Lithuania... And with gear diffs they become more popular... So definitely you will have more orders for S10. I will order two sets for mine and my sons buggies when get some spare money...

Well did some more testing today on my SC104x4 i layed the shocks all the way down front and back and did some drilling on the front piston. Although with the stock 2stg piston holes and 20/25 worked great i know there is more in it and i think i found it! While it looks cool pulling wheelies down the straight in reality its doing this because there is too much frt rebound. And i felt that it need some stability and pack especially with the fast motors. i also noticed that it has a tendency to go nose up on jump take offs and i think that the front was bottoming out and throwing the nose up on occasion. I feel that the rear is perfect for almost all situations outdoors and all but the stickiest tracks.
So i drilled the front compression up to 1.2 from 1.1 and i increased the oil from 20wt to 30wt. this slowed down the rebound and just slightly increased compression. This seemed to do the trick its jumping attitude is much better and in general the truck is more stable. We have some in turn rollers that i had to brake before hand to make or it wanted to go up on two wheels if i wasnt careful, this went away as now i can just drive through it. 27.5 may be better but i didnt have any to try. Im going to try the same thing on the front of my 1/8 scale and see what happens, although its already an animal!
so now the SC10 is:
1.2/1.3 front 30wt
1.1/1.3 rear 25wt

Finally it is time to put pistons on. Only do not know which pair goes in front and which goes in rear. Pistons for Caster EX1.5R... One pair on bottom have 10 holes, the other one have same 10 holes and additional 4 small holes.
EDIT: already found it myself...
