Team Associated Factory Team 12mm V2 Shock Pistons AS91897 feature a 2mm thickness with 2x1.7mm, 2-hole valving for off-road 12mm shocks. Compared with standard 2.5mm pistons, the thinner V2 design decreases damping and pack, allowing faster fluid flow. The result is improved bump absorption on jumps and rough sections, with a subtle shift toward more traction and a less "packed" feel that can be tuned for a wide range of track conditions.

Pro tip: Increase Team Associated shock oil viscosity by approximately +2.5wt to +5wt (e.g. 30wt to 32.5wt or 35wt). The 2mm pistons work well with thicker oil while maintaining composure in bumps.

Suggested Compatibility

  • RC10B74.1
  • RC10B74.1D
  • RC10B6.2
  • RC10B6.2D
  • RC10T6.2
  • RC10SC6.2 (and older RC10B6 series models)

When To Choose 2mm Pistons

  • To increase grip on low-traction dirt tracks
  • High-traction tracks with bumps or when a more forgiving overall feel is desired
  • Running lightweight LCG batteries to calm responsiveness and make the car easier to drive

Current Team Associated kits include 2.5mm thickness 2-hole pistons; use these as a baseline when comparing responsiveness and pack.

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.

Fits
  • RC10B74.1
  • RC10B74.1D
  • RC10B6.2
  • RC10B6.2D
  • RC10T6.2
  • RC10SC6.2 (and older RC10B6 series models)

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
