{"product_id":"progressive-damping-piston-set-for-associated-13mm-front","title":"Progressive Damping Piston Set for Associated 13mm, Front","description":"These deliver quicker damping on the rebound stroke for improved traction and stability, especially on rough or bumpy tracks. Each set is OEM length and ready to drop right into your RC10B7 or RC10B84 shocks.\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nThe pistons come blank and must be drilled before use. (The two inner progressive damping holes are pre-drilled at 1.1 mm.)\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nThe included shafts are crafted from high-quality Japanese steel and are left uncoated by design—allowing shock oil to adhere longer for more consistent damping over extended runs. This setup is preferred by experienced racers who want maximum feedback and tunability.\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eINSTRUCTIONS:\u003c\/b\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThe following instructions have been translated to English. We make no guarantees the translation is accurate. Please use your best judgment when assembling this product.\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nThis product is a piston kit that improves road-holding performance during cornering.\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nThis piston features multiple small holes on the outside and openings on the inner side.\nWhen the damper operates, oil flows through both the inner and outer holes during compression, while during rebound the oil mainly flows through the inner holes.\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nAs a result, the suspension compresses firmly to maintain good road contact, while rebound speed is increased. This improves cornering speed and overall driving stability.\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n1. Drilling the Blank Piston\n\u003cbr\u003e\nDrill holes in the outer circumference of the blank piston. It is recommended to start drilling from the locations shown in the diagram.\n\u003cbr\u003e\nNote: The example illustration shows two 1.1 mm holes, but you may drill additional holes as needed.\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n2. Assembly Method\n\u003cbr\u003e\nAssemble the parts in the order shown below. After assembly, make sure the shim moves freely.\n\u003cbr\u003e\nIf the shim is pinched between the seat and the piston, it will not function properly.\n\u003cbr\u003e\nAssembly order (top to bottom):\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nSet screw\n\u003cbr\u003e\nSeat\n\u003cbr\u003e\nShim (0.2 mm thick)\n\u003cbr\u003e\nPiston\n\u003cbr\u003e\n0.5 mm mini washer\n\u003cbr\u003e\nDamper shaft (sold separately)\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n3. Operation Illustration\n\u003cbr\u003e\nDuring compression: Oil flows through the outer holes.\n\u003cbr\u003e\nDuring rebound: Oil flows through the inner and outer holes.\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n4. Tuning Tips\n\u003cbr\u003e\nIf the shock bottoms out or has too little damping:\n\u003cbr\u003e\nTry the following tuning adjustments:\n\u003cbr\u003e\nIncrease damper oil viscosity (about +0.5 to +1 mm equivalent)\n\u003cbr\u003e\nUse thicker oil\n\u003cbr\u003e\nChange the shim thickness from 0.2 mm to 0.3 mm (optional part)\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nIf rebound feels too fast:\n\u003cbr\u003e\nReduce the size of the inner holes (default is 1.1 mm)\n\u003cbr\u003e\nReduce the number of inner holes\n(Recommended to keep hole size at 1.1 mm or larger)","brand":"Trion","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44096646185082,"sku":"TE-PPFCAE25F","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0824\/6953\/files\/te-ppfcae25f.jpg?v=1770405806","url":"https:\/\/www.dollarhobbyz.com\/products\/progressive-damping-piston-set-for-associated-13mm-front","provider":"Dollar Hobbyz","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
