Pistons: stay stock or change?

[iFranky]

Hello, everybody,

as a newbie in MT410 I could please use your knowledge about pistons. As you know, these cheap plastic parts are included in the kit. Maybe they do their job well, maybe I drive too much 2WD buggy and learned what makes good Delrin Pistons running smooth and effective shocks. For this reason I'd be very happy if you could give me tips if I am too hysterical about this or if it makes sense to really swap. If so, I'd be thankful to get concrete product recommendations.

Stay healthy

I have switched all of my rigs with to have delrin pistons. I think its a good upgrade.

Tekno has an assortment of pre-drilled pistons and they also have blank pistons that you can custom drill.

EB48 and ET48 come with the CNC version pistons. Here are generics ones that can be drilled.

I unfortunately have no experience with 3rd party products.

I know about the option part pistons. But honestly: metal/CNC ones?! Never ever heard about that before. Okay, Tekno will have a reason for that. But 99,9% are Delrin or Teflon, aren’t they?

Not sure if these are just marketing or really worth https://www.visionracingproducts.com/Tekno_c55.htm Ever seen before!

The pistons are CNC'd Delrin, not metal ?

Oh, that's good to know, missunderstanding. I was already wondering..."CNC, pistons made of steel...?"
