Frequently Asked Questions
- What are shock pistons and why would I need replacement DC10 FT pistons? — Shock pistons are internal components within your shock absorbers that regulate damping and suspension response. Over time, pistons can wear or develop micro-scratches that affect performance, or you may want to change piston specifications to tune your suspension. These genuine Factory Team pistons allow you to maintain original performance or experiment with different damping characteristics for your DC10 drift car.
- Are these compatible with my Team Associated DC10? — Yes, these pistons are designed specifically for the Team Associated DC10 drift platform. The 4x1.06 designation identifies this particular piston type within the DC10 range, so you should confirm this matches your shock specification before ordering.
- How do I know if I need new shock pistons? — Consider replacing your shock pistons during routine maintenance, if you notice uneven damping or inconsistent suspension response, or when rebuilding your shocks. If you are tuning your suspension, different piston specifications can help you achieve your desired handling characteristics.
- Can beginners use these shock pistons? — These are replacement components rather than a complete product, so they are best suited for users with some RC car experience who are comfortable working with suspension components. If you are new to RC drifting, you may want to familiarise yourself with basic drift car setup before attempting shock work, though the installation process is relatively straightforward.
- How do I install these shock pistons? — Installation requires disassembling your shocks and carefully replacing the existing pistons with these new ones. Detailed instructions are typically found in your DC10 manual, and our expert team at RC Model Shop are happy to provide guidance if needed.
- What is the difference between the 4x1.06 piston and other DC10 piston options? — Different piston specifications within the DC10 range vary in diameter and thickness, which affects damping rate and suspension responsiveness. The 4x1.06 is a specific configuration; consulting your DC10 manual or contacting our team will help you determine which piston specification best suits your setup and tuning goals.
