Race-focused shock pistons for refined handling

The Serpent 160120 RCM Machined 4-Hole Shock Piston Set is aimed at competitors seeking consistent shock behaviour. The 4-hole arrangement permits detailed tuning of oil flow to match track conditions and driving style. These pistons help deliver predictable response across laps.

Precise damping adjustment

The four-port design allows fine control over both low and high speed damping characteristics. Small changes in piston choice or oil weight can significantly affect midcorner grip and roll control. Machined construction contributes to even performance among the set.

Applications and chassis fit

Intended for a wide range of on-road chassis, these pistons are ideal for club racers and those competing in time attack or touring car classes. They are useful whenever precise suspension tuning is required to optimise lap times.

Specifications

  • Design: 4-hole pattern
  • Material: Machined for consistency
  • Compatibility: Designed for on-road RC models

A practical upgrade for those pursuing more controllable and repeatable shock performance in competitive on-road racing.

No. Pistons alter oil flow and damping, not spring preload or ride height. Ride height is set by springs and shock collars.
Make one change at a time, such as oil weight or swapping pistons, and run timed laps to compare. Log results so you can revert or iterate effectively.
A short break-in with fresh oil and regular inspection is recommended to ensure seals seat properly and to confirm there are no machining marks affecting performance.
Consistency across an axle is advisable to avoid uneven damping. You can run different pistons front to rear for handling balance, but keep pairs matched left to right.
