How do you set up your shocks

I would try avidrc.com or MIP for possible shock piston solutions too. They are both aftermarket suppliers that offer upgrade shock parts on their sites.
MIP sold tunable shock pistons for years.

Associated Electronics and possibly Schumacher seem likely to have offered tuning pistons for shocks. PR Racing and HB Racing also come to mind as race oriented RC manufacturers that might be able to help.

I don't know how helpful parts dept would be though. Since this request is not to service their own brands, I'd leave out any mention of what car you are working on in your emails.
tthank you. i've checked them all...most them doing 13mm pistons. So i might need to contact them directly to ask....or to buy a new shocks )
 
I would def take a moment to contact each before buying new shocks! $$$!!! 😉
I have dealt with avid directly. They were quick to answer questions and very helpful.
I did not have much luck with Associated parts dept though.
MIP hss been in aftermarket RC for decades. I would feel comfortable reaching out to them for info for sure! They have heard it ALL, I'm sure!
 
Thank you
Unfortunately, the only one rump i have around is in skatepark...i'm talking about rump with landing.
As i want to learn how to manage speed, air control, settle the car before jump\ after landing...
Another option is a BMX track...but i found rumps there are tooooooo big for 1\10. they are fine for my SSTE (1\8) but i dont feel confident sending TT2.0 there.
Also as long as i'm aming towards driving good instead of jumping - i dont want to go with thicker oil \ stiffer springs.

I will pbl try to find VRP pistons to slow down compressing stage, but it's nearly impossible to find it in right size (11,9mm)
mb it worth to DYI.
I will try this weekend and update a thread if have any conclusions

TThank you all
Team Associated 12mm shock's pistons...
