Are you running the pistons with more holes with slightly lighter oil in the rear too? Also, with single stage pistons is there a trick to getting a little faster rebound without sacrificing compression dampening?
www.RCshox.com coming soon! but to answer your question the last set of single stage pistons i ran was 45wt 6 hole 1.1 front and 25wt 8 hole 1.1 pistons in the back. track is soft and very bumpy. on our other track which is hard packed clay with alot of grip i just went up 5-10 in oil weight. i have tried tapered pistons and its not enough of a difference. RCshox 2stage pistons allow for maximum rebound if needed. this video is 20wt 2 stage 8 hole 1.1 compression and 10 hole 1.2mm rebound on the pink buggy( too much rebound but good for video, i was able to demolish the track record with it though!). the RB5 is 40wt 8 hole 1mm compression and 8 hole 1.2 rebound (which is too stiff as you can tell)
