Moore’s Ideal Products LLC, or MIP in short, announces the Release of their latest innovation called Real Shocks Bypass1 Piston technology. Unlike any piston seen before in the RC Industry MIP state that this Piston is design inspired by real off-road vehicles – real off-road trophy truck shocks to be precise. MIP Bypass1 incorporates the use of standard shock oils that allow users to keep their same set-ups. The shock valves combined with MIP’s unique piston design virtually eliminate hi-velocity packing (hydraulic locking) caused by standard RC shocks with traditional orifice holes design. The pistons use colour coded valves with corresponding thicknesses to make valve selection quick and easy.
How to they work? Traditional RC shock pistons are designed with orifice holes to meter compression and rebound dampening 50/50. Orifice holes are susceptible to packing (hydraulic lock) at higher shaft speeds which limit traction and handling. Some companies have tried to make pistons which change the compressive and rebound dampening but have always overlooked the issue of packing. Bypass1 meters the oil around the piston to control the rebound dampening. As the piston moves into a Compressive stroke; the oil moves through the bypass orifices and into the valves flexing the valves; which results in bypass. This is in addition to the oil flowing around the piston. MIP will offer various kits and kicks off with a set for 1/10 scale AE shocks such as the ones used in the B4/4.1, B44/44.1, T4/4.1 and SC10.
