Factory Team 2mm thickness V2 shock pistons

Posted: 01 Feb 2021 11:29 AM PST

Factory Team have introduced a new tuning option for off-road 12mm shocks. The new 2mm thickness V2 shock pistons decrease damping and pack compared to their standard 2.5mm thickness kit counterparts. Keeping the same 2-hole valving, the shorter thickness piston allows for faster fluid flow, and less pack while the shock takes fast impacts from jumps and bumps. This results in a small shift, giving the car more traction and less pack, which racers can tune for an advantage in a wide range of conditions.

First of all I want to say a big thank you to Novarossi for the past 8 years. The engines work very well and I achieved great Victories. Now I’m very happy to be racing with Ielasi Tuned engines. With the experience of Daniele Ielasi I can be sure that the engine has always the maximum possible power and quality. With these new engines I am sure we have a lot of success in 1/8 nitro onroad, 1/10 nitro onroad and 1/8 GT. I look forward for the next years with Ielasi Tuned.
