Just 1 question about the shocks. The sheet gives advice on the size of the piston holes, but not the number of holes. And I guess it's also depends if the shocks are 15mm or 16mm in bore size.
Merci monsieur!

That's one thing I have to add, captions to explain what is going on and a different approach to hole size calculation, for a clearer result maintaining number of holes is the way to go and you just have to stock on 3-5 different pistons.
According to shock dynos, for pistons with the same hole area, the one with the smaller holes provides more damping. Dyno sheet shows a 1.7mm x 2 holes being equivalent to a 1.3mm x 4 holes.

Funny you post today, yesterday I won the club race with THE Car but I can't add more stability (still one thing to try) so I'm going back to the Mugen Mafia In fact I'm headed to the track right now! edit/ with a RTR based engine and old DLD tires it felt and went better than the JQ... who knew? /edit

Any question regarding setup just ask.
