The dots are on the Tapered side.

no 1 pistons have 1 dot
no 2 pistons have no dots
no 3 pistons have 3 dots

Don't think there are any dots, I have 3 different types and can't find any dots. Also these pistons are not moulded but cnc milled.

The difference in hole size is easy to spot by eye though. I have losi orange, red and black, and can easily tell them apart. I do keep them seperated when stored them, for convenience :-)

1 dot = No 1
0 dot = No 2 The holes in the Piston are 2 :-)
3 dot = No 3

Hi guys,

Soon we have to produce more Losi pistons and it might be a good idea to mark them in some way.
There aint enough colours to choose from so i guess there have to be dots in some way.
Together with the 3 holes there aint much space for any dots,especially not since there has to be four dots on one of them
I will give it a try though.

Awesome. ETA

May have a look at the Ghea Losi ones too for my XXCR. What's the improvement on the Losi pistons?

The pistons will make the car more calm on the rough parts and
land after jumps like a wet rag.
These pistons are made in a CNC lathe wich make them wery precise and we are convinced thats important for the handling of the car.

How would these pistons fit in the 501x TRF shocks? Is there any plan to make any to this size if they dont fit ?
