Actually don't do that. They don't work as well as the Tekno pistons.

Agreed, the shape of a piston is a huge part of the pistons performance.

From the nitro thread.

true, I agree it won't be the same.

However I am pretty much using all Kyosho pistons as a base on my vehicles, so my performance comparison is Kyosho to Kyosho to clarify and I like the feel of these versus the Kyosho 8 x 1.3 hole pistons.

I am open to doing Tekno's for sure, but the fill and drill thing I would screw up, so no go there. If Tekno makes some blanks, I am game, hopefully on a parts tree if possible.

I'd be surprised if Tekno didn't release some nice CNC 6 hole piston options eventually. Daniel and Matt have a pretty close eye on testing and development, I'd bet they will be on it.

that would be great. Part of the reason I enjoy the vehicles is that progress never stops and its meaniful stuff. Having an SC10 4x4 before and seeing the level of "Support" we got, you would think we were black sheep or something.

Do any of you guys know if the NB-48 body fits on the EB-48? Reason I ask is because I have a few NB-48 bodys, and would like to be able to use them on my EB that's on the way too me.

im sure it will fit. However, it will be extremely wide compared to the proper eb48 body.

you will get the short corse parachute effect.

http://www.teknorc.com/tekno5/wp-con...MediumBite.pdf

is this a good setup to try on low bite, if not, what should be first place to start changing?
What oils are you running for that setup? Pt?

I am assuming he is using PT.

if so, here is a nice conversion chart from there website:



Definitely lighter up front than I am currently running.

I always have had this oil on my radar. Looks like good oil to use, and supply.
