TRC 1:8 Offroad Valve Pistons

Belgian custom made RC parts brand Throttlefinger Racing Concepts (TRC) has released these new 1:8 Offroad Valve Pistons which have been in the works for over a year.  On a mission to redefine 1:8 scale shock pistons, breaking free from the basic, unchanged design of current shock pistons and decades of motocross suspension knowledge and expertise, TRC set out to create pistons that allow for independent adjustment of compression and rebound—just like the systems used in all other forms of offroad racing.  Through extensive research and development, they designed these pistons from the ground up, incorporating a spring steel shim and matching adapter made to exceptional tolerances.  This innovation results in a set of pistons that address today’s track conditions with precision and consistency.

KEY FEATURES

Customisable Suspension – Independent compression and rebound adjustments for superior tuning.

Unmatched Performance – More precise bump absorption, better steering control, enhanced stability on landings, and increased cornering speeds.

Durability & Consistency – A unique shim design and ultra-low friction materials ensure reliable, high-performance action from the first lap to the last.

Proven at the highest level – After extensive testing in every imaginable condition—by national drivers and top global racers—a key moment in their performance evaluation was to see the pistons being used in the A-final of the 2024 European Championship in Sacile, Italy. The scorching Italian sun put man and machine to the ultimate test and TRC Valve Pistons provided the grip and consistency necessary at the pinnacle of RC Racing.
