Associated Factory Team 12Mm V2 Shock Pistons, 2Mm, 2X1.6Mm

Factory Group presents a new tuning option for off-road 12mm shocks. The new 2mm thickness V2 shock pistons reduce damping and pack compared to their basic 2.5mm thickness set counterparts. Keeping the exact same 2-hole valving, the shorter thickness piston enables faster fluid flow, and less pack (pack = increased rate of resistance) while the shock takes quickly impacts from dives and bumps. This results in a little shift, providing the car more traction and less pack, which racers can tune for an advantage in a wide variety of conditions.

Pro Tip: Change Group Associated shock oil +2.5wt as much as +5wt thicker (ex: 30wt increase to 32.5wt OR 35wt). You can run the 2mm thickness pistons with a thicker oil, and it will still handle excellent in bumps.

Fits: RC10B74.1, RC10B74.1D, RC10B6.2, RC10B6.2D, RC10T6.2, RC10SC6.2 (and older RC10B6 series models)

Some rule-of-thumb cases for utilizing the 2mm thickness vs. 2.5mm thickness pistons:

Use optional 2mm thickness in cases where you want less pack, much better bump handling, or slower responsiveness. Conditions to attempt:

To increase grip on low-traction dirt tracks

High-traction tracks with bumps or when you need a more flexible general feel

Running lightweight LCG batteries (lower general car weight) to make the car less responsive and simpler to drive

Use basic 2.5mm thickness pistons for more pack, greater responsiveness, and a more responsive feel.

Current Group Associated sets feature 2.5mm thickness 2-hole pistons -- utilize these as a standard for contrast
