fq06,

Do you run the Kyosho 8 x 1.3mm shock pistons? If so, which side of the piston faces towards the shock shaft? One side of the piston is flat, the other side is a little domed. From what I can tell from a Kyosho MP9 instruction manual, the domed side of the piston faces the shock shaft (faces down).

NEWBIE QUESTION ALERT!!!

On the Kyosho 8 X 1.3mm pistons, one side of the piston is flat, the other side is slightly domed. When I put it on the shock shaft, which side of the piston faces up (towards the shock cap)?

Looks great, and keeping the wires long enough is a great idea. Come on guys lets see your wire jobs.

By default, any piston that has a shape to it will have the flat or cupped side up and the domed or pointed side down. This gives more pack with faster rebound.

If somebody flips them, this is considered special and should be in notes in their setup sheet.

AKA, flat side up.

Try running the ION's from Proline. You'll pick up more steering with that one change.

So one RX8 with a fan and one without who else is running a RX8 in this truck without a fan and what are the temps when u pull it off the track?

No problem.



Be really gentle when drilling the big top hole. Barely any pressure and be ready for when it goes through. Its really easy to get through the plastic and the bit will go right into the threads on the other side... don't ask me how I know :lol:

Fortunately I barely got the bit into the threads about half way up so it wasn't a big deal, the shock body just cleaned the threads up when I built the shocks. Get the bottom thread or two though and it will be a pain to thread on straight.

Why have I posted so many times today??? Oh, because I'm hangin at home wrenching on a few cars and my phone keeps beeping at me :D I need to work on not being a slave to the smart phone :lol:

Sounds like I need to give them a try.


I was around 145 during practice with no fan.

Are the upper shock bushings available separately? I see them as TKR6008 in the manual. Is the only way to get them in the shock shaft guide set? This is about the only part that has worn out on my 410 and my EB48. Anyone using anything else? Thanks

Are you on the throttle all the way through your jump? If so stay off the throttle and pump the brake to get the nose down. If not and the front end is just flying up I would like to hear what your setup is to get an idea of what it could be.

I let go of the throttle right before I hit the top of the jump.

This is the car I bought. I didnt even check any of the specs on it and just gave it a run to see how it did from how the person had it set up.
