Right now I am running all of them at PRCR but on a bigger track I could see using less. I was going to try 2 less in the main but I had a diff puke fluid and I had to change it before the race started and ran out of time to make anymore changes.
With the pistons I had a hard time with the really light oil on my track because it is pretty smooth and has good bite. Most of the jumps are jump land turn and so we don't have the forward momentum that Marcus talks about in his description set-ups. So my track was full of bench drops and the truck would unsettle and bottom out when trying to land, brake, and turn. With the new pistons I can run the heaver fluid (30 front / 25 rear) and still have all the benefits of the 2 stage pistons. The truck lands and sticks but still very good around the track. I feel it is due mostly to the lower piston being thicker now and has less flex as it moves through the oil and gives a better seal when they are closed.
I currently have all of RCShox SC10 4x4 products. (that I know about

) and my truck has never been better. One of my test I did was put the complete truck back to my old set up. with Acc-bar settings, shock pistons, yellow springs, and slipper. What a pile!

It felt like so much work to try and go fast and hit the line around the track.
