"The tapered face of the piston provides different damper characteristics to regular flat-faced pistons, increasing your setup options."
Different how? does anyone know?

Kawada super EX and panaracer fit.

+1 on what Quatmix said.
I've used Panaracer, Kawada, and Spec R spur gears. Panaracer combined with Xenon pinions offer a super smooth mesh. On the other hand, Kawadas are cool because their black and hide dirt
Ran Jilles setup yesterday at the Tamiya track again. Traction was less than that of the Reedy Race, yet was able to match the 13.5 fast lap of 12.6 Very promising. Also, a friend tested the setup as well, but with Xray springs of a *similar rate*...was frustrated and nearly kinked it on purpose to be done for the day. On the last run, he switched to HPI springs, which resulted in a quick, consistent, error free run, with a smile.

Hi guys, the 3hole piston on Jilles setup, what is the hole diameter (0.8mm, 1.1mm?)
Thanks.
Thanks.

How did you manage to get the droop setting? Did you measure it to the hingepin?
#1150
I measured to the center of the hingepin which translated to something that was way over 25mm in the front (measured from top of the axle to setup board) and 24.7mm in the rear. Front at 25mm felt best to me.

As promised, how I understand Jilles is measuring droop.
"Normal" measurement, under the hub/arm at 5.5mm, using std TRF droop blocks and gauge.
Is equal to circa 9mm measured at the centre of the pin!
So at the rear, 8mm
Is about 4.3-4.4mm
Mind the dirty car! Was too dark and cold to clean at the end of yesterday's meet
