MIP introduce their Bypass1 team tuned shock pistons set for the TLR SCTE 2.0 4WD short course truck. The kit includes pistons whose design is based on full-scale valve technology to allow for nearly infinite setup possibilities of shock compression and rebound thanks to special valves that control how the pistons moves through the shock fluid. The octagon shape of the piston reduces drag while keeping it guided in the shock housing. Included in the set are four #7 shock pistons, ‘fast’, ‘medium’, ‘slow’ and ‘gap’ valves as well as shims and locknuts. Additional pistons and a wider range of valves are available separately. The set fits all TLR SCTE 2.0, Losi SCTE 1.0 and MIP Pro4mance converted trucks.
