Never thought i liked tapered pistons before in the v2 shocks but in these big bores the AE machined tapered pistons work awesome!
On my medium bite large indoor track with about a 70% clay content i am running the green/white ae springs 32/30 ae oil 3 hole 1.4 pistons up front and the 2x1.6 in the rear. The rest of my car is pretty much identical to Steven Hartsons setup as far as i know except servo, i am running the airtronics94930 servo with my m12
I came to this conclusion of piston set-up after running first the 1.4x3hole front and rear then noting how my car felt then running the 2x1.6 front and rear and noting how it felt.
Seemed the 3 hole didnt give me enough pack for our large jumps but then the 2 hole 1.6's felt too stiff and not quite balanced in the front so i put the 3 hole pistons in the front and my car came to life, not that it was bad before but i felt more connected and had better steering since my front end dove into the corners more consistent. On a higher bite track it may not be ideal, but time will tell on that one.
Also ran green pressure points in the back with gold barcodes front a few days after running the above set-up and i was amazed how well they work and with the white sticky kicks im not getting excessive wear either. The track wasn't dry either and i usually wouldnt run a green compound unless the track was dry but i was just as fast if not faster with the green pressure points then my v1 gold barcodes. If the track was dry they may have got eaten up fast but thats the trade off.
The pressure points are very smooth and consistent, broke in pretty quickly as well. I ran a medium insert. The carcass fits tight around the foam compared to some super soft tires which most likely helps keep them feeling smooth and not edgy around the track.
Im guessing these feel similar to the Ions that everyone is raving about but not certain since i havent tried a pair.
