Factory Team 16mm flat & tapered shock pistons

From Team Associated come these new flat and tapered Factory Team 16mm shock pistons for RC8B3 and RC8T3 series 16mm shocks. Machined from high quality Delrin, they add more tuning options to dial in suspension settings. Flat pistons have equal compression and rebound, making them ideal on smoother surfaces, while tapered pistons have less resistance when the shaft is traveling in the direction of the taper angle. If the taper angle is set down, the piston will have less resistance in rebound and more resistance during compression and this is what makes tapered pistons more ideal on rough surfaces.
