TRC 1:8 Offroad Valve Pistons

Belgian custom made RC parts brand Throttlefinger Racing Concepts (TRC) has released these new 1:8 Offroad Valve Pistons which have been in the works for over a year. On a mission to redefine 1:8 scale shock pistons, breaking free from the basic, unchanged design of current shock pistons and decades of motocross suspension knowledge and expertise, TRC set out to create pistons that allow for independent adjustment of compression and rebound—just like the systems used in all other forms of offroad racing. Through extensive research and development, they designed these pistons from the ground up, incorporating a spring steel shim and matching adapter made to exceptional tolerances. This innovation results in a set of pistons that address today’s track conditions with precision and consistency.
