Was refering to the change in oil weight (lighter) running the Fironi pistons.

Yep, but it's more like rebound remains the same while compression is damped or slowed down for big impacts/high shaft speeds. Whichever direction the big holes face will get increased high speed damping.

These came with my mbx6r. What rebound do you all use? They feel 10x's better than any shock I have messed with.. Now I gotta pick some up for the Eco..

Pistons and replacement o-rings have already shipped or are about to ship from Fioroni Italy. It's about 10 days door to door and a couple more to the dealers. The dealers that currently have them on backorder are:

A Main Hobbies CA
Absolute Hobbyz NJ
GS Hobby AR
Race Mugen/Classic City GA
River Rat RC FL

I expect a few more to place orders in the coming days and if they do I will post them here. I am very thankful that you guys are using them and liking them.

Hi,

Will there be a part number for the replacement o-rings?

Thanks,

As soon as I confirm the replacement o-rings, I'll make a part number for them.

I don't know. Most of what Fioroni makes is based on what is most popular in Europe. It will certainly help if anyone interested, sends an email to Fioroni Italy requesting 17mm pistons.

Will any of the existing pistons work with the new Xray XB9 shocks?

These pistons are the real deal. Our Team Driver Shay Brand has been testing them and so many people have commented that his cars suspension is working very, very well

I don't know if these fit Xray, at least without any mods. What size OD are the Xray pistons?

And yes, these are the real deal. As posted earlier in this thread, the first versions of these pistons, made for 12mm and 13mm shocks in the mid 00's were used to win an IFMAR WC back when nearly all cars came with 12mm shocks and Fioroni was laughed at by some for making 13mm 'big bore' shocks.
