Anyone else having issues with the rear bottoming out? I feel like no matter how thick I go with the rear fluid it's still to soft. Currently at 50wt associated lol, can the Pistons wear out? It slaps really hard off jumps. Been an on going issue for me lately.

40-47.5 losi oil is normal for me.. higher side w/ the extreme temps lately. Also are you setting the rebound correctly, STD setup w/ bladders I assume? Makes a big difference if not setup well. Can try to change the shock position higher on the tower if it's the track or conditions related.

Yea standard setup. I'm almost reAdy to convert it to a 48.2, I don't remember having pushing issues and bottoming out with the .2 lol

I'm shocked your having bottoming out issues. The .3 is SO much better than my .2, I would never go back.

Post up your setup, and we'll try to get you right.

new shock parts? leaking any fluids? emulsion or bladders? which pistons? Taper up or down?

Is it bottoming on the take off face of the jumps, or landing? Mine will bottom if I miss the downside on a big jump, but it never bottoms up the takeoff. Unless of course the jump is built way too steep, or has big blown out holes in the face.

After looking at it again last night I'm gonna replace the Pistons with new ones. The edges are scuffed up looking and I'm thinking the oil may be seeping around the outside on hard landings.
I should say i don't remember having this issue when I started running it when they first came out. This car has ALLOT of run time on it but is well maintained. I've never worn out Pistons but I will know soon enough. Was just wondering if anyone else had seen this. I believe I started with associated 30 weight and it was good. Now at 50 weight it's still not damped enough so obviously something changed.

And it's slapping on landings. It's just blowing through the dampening. just trying to pin point it

Make sure you replace your seals and bushings at the bottom, if your pistons worn that means they are letting it get side load rubbing during tansitions..

if the shock bodies are really old, they could be worn inside. That's not common, but something to consider

I was thinking about that but wouldn't you see the anodizing all scratched up? They look perfect inside. Gotta be the Pistons........ I hope
