Could you please explain this to me.
Thanks

I didn't even see anything about the 1/10 scale stuff all weekend.

Is there a normal temp range for the slipper? at what point does it indicate a problem?
Thanks

M2C RACING is pleased to announce the release of our 8 hole .9 through hole tapered pistons for the 13mm shocks. this is the same design that has been so sucessful on the Losi scte 4x4.
We have tested many different configurations and this one seems the best
It will allow you to have the same pack on the compression stroke but allow the shock to rebound much quicker and allow the vehicle to settle much quicker.
Made with delrin and precisioned machined of fit.
part no. m2c3565

Couple of changes to my truck.


the front skid plate is steel and weighs 4.5 oz. Allowed me to take the lead out from in front of the battery and gain a little more front weight bias. The extensions on the rear hubs raise the link 6mm. May have to shim the inner ball stud a little. I'll see after running it

You are waaay under geared, i run 15/62 with a 4600. If your esc is cool but the motor is hot you are under geared.

Motors will overheat from high current loads (over geared) or over revving (under geared). For the most part current plays a larger role in esc temp, so if you gear down and your motor temps go up, but you esc runs colder you are under geared.

Hey m2racing ,

Please explain how these work as I am not understanding the function of a tapered hole.

Seems to me regardless of how big the entrance to the hole is ,there is only going to be so much flow through a given diameter. How does this change compression vs rebound if the oil is traveling through the same diameter hole in either direction.

I must be lame as I do not get the function of these.

O&S

+1... I totally understand dual stage pistons....when they open up, it unblocks the extra holes.....but these tapered ones are beyond my comprehension....does it introduce turbulence into the oil? Or does it somehow compress the oil to get more volume through more easily?

Done! I will let you guys know how it works out!

so what do you recommened with ur center diff setup if im running 4600k pro 4 and i got a 60 spur gear with my kit. im at 14/60 but havent been to the track.thanks

NVM, found the post...

I threw the saddles in and went for a blast again, this truck is definitely a different animal. I have to turn down the current limiter for sure, might even go down in pinion to a 13 tooth to soften the initial hit. The center diff definitely does its job. the belt was slipping a little , might tighten up a notch, but I think that's because I'm running on the street too.

Does everyone run the shocks on the bottoms on the outer holes or inner? If I moved the shocks inward in the rear that should help chassis slap I'm thinking.

Just blasting up n down the street is crazy, my truck is straight up beastly. wayyy too much power for dirt LOL. it takes off like a bat outta hell.

I threw the yellows on the rear and the truck doesn't squat as much or bottom out but Id like to go up in spring rate some more to see how it reacts. right now I cant wait for Sat to come to throw down some laps.

The bigger part of the hole is probably for the rebound side for the oil to rush thru quicker and the smaller part of the hole is probably for the compression side.

Be interesting to see a comparison between these and the rcshox ones.

Jeff i set your truck up a certain way for a certain reason, your making changes without even trying it the way it was. It is not going to chassis slap on anything, Bench testing means nothing. Your going to end up with a messed up setup! what did you pay me for??? It is setup identically to my truck and drove just like my truck with the exception of electronics. I realize its your truck but you should get a foundation before you make changes.
