They felt inconsistent. Jumped a little funky. I run on an extremely high bite clay track using clay slicks. Just as an FYI.

That's funny I feel 100% the opposite..

OCRC is a mid-high bite track that has some small.. hi frequency bumps where the pistons pick up the consistency...The quicker rebound seemed to help settle the suspension better across the board...especially under breaking. On my 2wd..oh boy did they make my breaking more consistent.

Didn't see a difference in jumping with the current layout. I will test again when they switch it up..could very well be the track.

I can see if the track is pretty much on an on-road track with jumps...They really wont add anything

Weird I run on a high bite clay track, seems like it jumps great, I was running them really soft at first but switched to a 40f/30r with stock springs on my 2 hole 1.6 VRP's and I love them, car is crazy predictable, reacts quickly and I feel like I can maneuver the heck out of it. Too bad you threw them away I'd have bought them from you.

I use the 1.6 in the front.

and 1.7 in the rear.

They also included a cool little piston caddy..Think of a 1" X 1" square with 4 posts on it with removable o rings inside a plastic box..Great for holding all the other pistons you might have.

miles better than some other guys that just throw pistons in a poly bag.

The 1.6 will give you a bit more pack next to the 1.7. So it will stiffen the rear up a tad.

For the most part -
Decreases rear grip at corner exit/gives more push under power.
Less prone to bottoming out.

Hey Guys does anyone have a good starting point setup for med to high bite outdoor clay track... Just got my car today starting the build tonight using a 6.5t motor setting up with a shorty battery.

Any help is much appreciated....

Knock it off people. Don't let this turn into the B5M thread.
