[Lee Martin]

Howdy everyone!

As Debut'ed at the Euros in Spain, The Ghea Magic pistons are now available through RMR! These were the must have product of the 2009 euros!

Also Thanks to my RMR team! 6 out of the top 10 in the 4wd Main and 4 in 2wd! good job!

Lee, I've just got a complete set for my 808 buggy I'll let you know what I think about them.

Tim,

He's talking about the 1/10th piston not 1/8th.....

[MALLET]

Aye,I knew he was I was just going to let him know what they are like in an 1/8th as well as someone else with a 1/10

[westie]

Funky

[GRIFF55]

these do look nice, might have to aquire some

[Lee Martin]

The 8th Pistons are already awesome! we use them all the time without fail!

So the opposite theory to real rally car dampers, which are stiffer in rebound by a ratio of as much as 3:1. Has anyone tried them the other way up?

i think that may be because real rally cars dont jump 10-20 times there own hight and same in distance lap after lap,

[PTRU]

Yes.

[Lee Martin]

All depends how the shocks work...real cars pistons wont have a gap around the outside..whereas AE shocks have a small gap, so this forces the oil around the shock piston causing it to rebound faster! ;-)

I think you are saying that, in scale terms, 1/10 off road dampers experience higher forces than a full size rally car, when jumping.

If you are bored at lunchtime try working this out;

1) Kinetic energy of a 1.6kg 1/10 off road car just before hitting the ground from a jump 20 times the cars height.
2) Kinetic energy of a 1500kg WRC car just before hitting the ground from a jump 2 or 3 times its height (Rally New Zealand).

So what's the verdict on these? What sort of surfaces do they give you a particular benefit on - the bumpy ones, or large jumps?

[ex-sco77morgan]

I reckon they are really good got them in my Losi shocks which where already great but now feel even smoother ......

[Lee Martin]

bumpy pitter patter tracks you will feel most advantages

[flipside]

I believe they are best at bumpy, medium to high grip tracks that also have large jumps, like the euro's in bilbao.

The chamfered side makes the shocks rebound faster, but the pack when landing from jumps is the same. So you can keep smaller hole pistons on bumpy tracks. You get the best of both worlds: good landing from the big jumps, and good handling in the bumps because the rebound is fast, so wheels keep contact with the ground.

I really felt the difference in bilbao, the car was a lot better at the complete banked section, from right after the quad all the way down to the dirt section.

But for me the inserts were the biggest difference in Bilbao. After 6 free practises, 2 timed practice and 3 heats full of mistakes, I took the rymart inserts and drove 2 flawless heats, resulting in a 13 and 19th place, compared to the 30-40th place before!!!

Im interested in trying some in my 808, sound a great idea. Is it Ghea3090 that fit the 808?

But can I rely in rymart racing ??? I've ordered them some ghea products in May and I have no news, no money, no items and they don't reply to my emails. Why ???

Lee won't rip you off mate, it'll be a mix up somewhere. Send him a PM on here and i'm sure he'll sort it out.

I order a load of Ghea stuff for my B4 (pistons back block and bulkhead) and all came through fine! Ps the pistons work great to!
