Hi peeps, I've been away for some years but I'm back and bashing a Hpi Baja 5b.
One of Mr rear shock pistons exploded and instead of buying new pistons I bought aftermarket half shocks with aluminium pistons installed as they were a bargain at £14 for the pair. The original pistons had 12 holes iirc. The new ones have 2 holes and are tiny at that. I've put 5w shock oil in them but they're still too stiff. Has anyone else tried these pistons and what was the best way to soften them? I'm thinking drill the holes out slightly ??♂️. Any help appreciated.
Ps, it's good to be back and look forward to catching up at local meets with some of you ?
