Team Associated FT 12mm V2 Shock Pistons 2mm 2X1.6mm
Brand: Associated
Part No: AS91896

Request Stock NotificationTeam Associated Factory Team 12mm V2 Shock Pistons (2mm thickness, 2x1.6mm) offer a refined tuning option for off-road 12mm shocks. The thinner 2mm profile, with the same 2-hole valving as common kit parts, decreases damping and pack for faster fluid flow. The result is improved bump absorption, a more forgiving feel, and a small shift toward increased traction versus standard 2.5mm pistons.
Key Details
- 2mm thickness V2 pistons with 2x1.6mm, 2-hole valving
- Decreases pack for smoother handling over jumps and bumps
- Aids traction and can make the car feel less reactive
- Designed for 12mm off-road shocks
- Part number: AS91896
Suggested Compatibility
- RC10B74.1
- RC10B74.1D
- RC10B6.2
- RC10B6.2D
- RC10T6.2
- RC10SC6.2 (and older RC10B6 series models)
When To Use 2mm Pistons
- To increase grip on low-traction dirt tracks
- On high-traction tracks with bumps for a more forgiving feel
- With lightweight LCG batteries to calm responsiveness
Current Team Associated kits typically include 2.5mm thickness 2-hole pistons; use these as a baseline for comparison.
Pro Tip
Run shock oil +2.5wt to +5wt thicker (e.g. 30wt to 32.5wt or 35wt) with the 2mm pistons for confident bump handling while maintaining control.

Factory Team introduces 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 (pack = increased rate of resistance) 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.
Pro Tip: Adjust Team Associated shock oil +2.5wt up to +5wt thicker (ex: 30wt increase to 32.5wt OR 35wt). You can run the 2mm thickness pistons with a thicker oil, and it will still handle good in bumps.

Some rule-of-thumb cases for using the 2mm thickness vs. 2.5mm thickness pistons:
Use optional 2mm thickness in cases where you want less pack, better bump handling, or slower responsiveness. Conditions to try:
- To increase grip on low-traction dirt tracks
- High-traction tracks with bumps or when you need a more forgiving overall feel
- Running lightweight LCG batteries (lower overall car weight) to make the car less responsive and easier to drive
Use standard 2.5mm thickness pistons for more pack, higher responsiveness, and a more responsive feel.
- Current Team Associated kits come with 2.5mm thickness 2-hole pistons -- use these as a baseline for comparison
