R/C Tech Forums - Team Associated B4.2 Thread

Put in the new tappered pistons last night. they fit tighter in the shock body, and tighter on the shock shaft. Bench racing they feel nice and plush, curious to see how they are on the track next.

Where did you get them from if you dont mind me asking?

I started to glue up some holes in some 22 pistons and started doing a 3 hole 54 piston, its very close to a 1.4mm, just a c hole i mean hair smaller so im hoping with the looser tolerances i can get a similar feel to a 1.4mm 3 hole piston and not have to wait for them to come out.

Just patiently waiting for the factoryone bushings and pistons right now.

Weird tire combo, but I agree, it looks great.

Thanks! Tires are Panther Bobcats in the front, Panther Raptor's in the rear. I have several panthers to try...what's on the car and also Switch's & Rattlers....as weird as it may seem...the bobcat/raptor combo works well!

I run the same fronts and the Rattler in rear, works good for me. all personal preference to some point, cool car!!

I did the open foam on front and liked so going to stick with that for now, since it is free basically. PL's in the rear and for sure want the tapered pistons on my next rebuild along with that new Mach 2 from Reedy.

One thing I miss about the Kyosho.

Not having a lot of flashing to file off. Other than that, it's a nice kit.

I only had flashing on the front of the chassis. well I did buy some a-arms once that were sooooooooo bad. they were never free, glad they broke, lol.

So what's the hot setup for indoor high-grip wet-ish clay? Gray springs in the rear w/30wt? 32.5wt up front with which springs? My track runs green/gold barcodes and MC suburbs in the rears with scrubs / tapers up front.
