Anyone have an alternative for shock pistons???

Haven't been to their outdoor track yet. Ran under the barn before though.

Tamiya 3 hole pistons are a decent alternative.

Check out Stormer. They have them IN STOCK. They also have the 1.1mm 6-Hole Teflon pistons IN STOCK.

+1 But unless you're at the Hara level of racing, I highly doubt you would be able to feel the difference.

The difference between the machined and molded pistons is discernable on the track. Especially so since the machined pistons are smaller in diameter than their molded counterparts.

With the second sentence you wrote, I agree 100%. But if the machined and molded pistons were the same size, I would bet a bazillion dollars that us mere mortals would never ever feel the difference. But I'm sure any of the top 20 or so pro drivers out there would.

My entire statement is tied together, you can't agree with only part of it. Not true about feeling the difference, that might be the case for you but it's not true for everyone.

Like I said, "for us mere mortals"... I don't know who you are. But since I don't see your name in any top level racing results, I would still seriously be willing to be a lot of money that if I swapped out molded vs. machined pistons of the same size 10 times in your car, you would guess correctly about 5/10 times which was which. That's my opinion with over 30 years of RC and I'm entitled to it.... and I'm not selling anything. And no offense meant to you or anyone else as I'm sure everyone can have differing thoughts as well.

Fred Hubbard won the Reedy Open (Modified Class) and now races with the Invitaional guys.

Nuff said. Listen and don't bicker....

Sorry Fred...

I think I should have been more PC, but it's just not in my nature.

As they say everyone is entitled to their own opinion but when you start grouping everyone into the same catergory without any qualifiable evidence to support such a generalization then there's an issue.

Thanks Art, I appreciate that.

Well as it sits I had to buy Tamiya pistons since I could not find any HB ones and I don't have a CC to use at Stormer since they don't accept PP. O well I hope HB parts support picks up soon.

Thanks for the tips guys.
