Overview of Derlin 4-hole pistons

Precision Derlin pistons with a four-hole configuration intended for use in TAMIYA M06 shock assemblies. Derlin offers low friction on shock rods and a consistent interface with silicone shock oils, while the four holes regulate fluid flow for a steady damping characteristic.

The pistons are supplied as replacements for standard M06-style shock internals. Installation requires basic shock servicing: disassemble the damper, remove the original pistons and springs, insert the machined Derlin pistons and rebuild with the same oil and seals. Check orientation and hole alignment to ensure matching front and rear behaviour where needed.

From a tuning viewpoint the 4-hole pistons alter the speed oil passes through the piston during compression and rebound. They are suited to setups where repeatable mid-range damping and consistent responses across shocks are important for predictable handling.

They are compatible with silicone shock oils; performance will vary with viscosity so test different grades to find the best mid-speed damping balance.
Pistons change damping but not spring force. You may adjust spring rate to fine-tune ride height and low-speed control, while using these pistons to shape mid-speed behaviour.
Inspect pistons and seals during routine shock service intervals, looking for wear or deformation that could affect oil flow and repeatability.
