**Jan 2024: This RC8B4.1 package includes 4 pistons, the rear bevel pistons are pre-drilled (3x1.5, 2x1.7), Fronts flats are drilled (4x1.4, 1x1.5) unless otherwise requested.**
The Schelle Fat Boys piston lineup is built around the concept that a thicker piston will limit flow around the outside forcing oil through the valving holes. For smooth and hot weather conditions, the 2.7mm versions are ultra thick, so the valving path is only 2.7mm tall, adding pack for hot weather and high grip. Keeping the outside height 2.7mm makes the car that the suspension won't flutter, and can pack properly without using extremely thick oils. The ultimate high grip and hot weather weapons, these are made to make the shock more consistent by using a thinner oil and creating more drag via the extended height. The bottom side of the piston is pocketed to fit standard shock shafts.
*for lower grip you may want to drill a 2nd larger 1.6mm hole in the rear pistons.

Testimonial:
"I used the pistons today at the track with your recommended oils and my car was about 1/2 second faster around the track. The car was more plush with more traction. Thanks for the awesome product." -Tim F. (MakinTraxx RC, New York) Conditions: Track was dry and bumpy with a loamy outside.
