| Post subject: | 2 Hole or 4 Hole and should I drill |
Hello, This topic may have already been discussed and explored, but my big question is when will Xray release a 4 hole version of all of the shock pistons or a few of them? Also it just seems like that the majority of drivers are using 4 hole. I know that new trends start all the time and things are learned. That is the awesome aspect to Xray. No one at Xray seems to sugar coat a problem when there is one discoverd. The thing that slightly bother me is that if the shocks were designed to be larger bore why was it not recognized that a 4 hole piston would be superior. Thank You, Loyal Xray Customer |

I was looking for all the parts needed to convert my EC into a XB8US and I seen a part XRA 358037 4-Hole Shock Set Straight, is this a new product for a 4 hole setup on the EC? |

Rob- Yes, those are the new pre-made 4 hole pistons that fit the EC and the XT8. Unfortunately, I have yet to see them in stock anywhere. They are not on the X-SHOP either. |

I bought a $12 finger drill bit set that is metric for piston hole making and that should be easy enough to do. Would be nice to have them pre made but a hole into plastic is a piece of cake. |

The text for the new shock pistons also claim that they are more precisely round than the two hole pistons. |

You might have to special order them, probably some retailers don't know about them? I know that the Canadian supplier has some in stock, since they are in my tool box and on the shelf at the LHS. |

Well I am 1 guy that works and likes to buy toys that will arrive in a timely matter, lol. Seriously though he may be a cool guy but I am a bit worried that buying the tools I did are back ordered and all that I ask is a response to how my order is being handled. I went with TH since Amain and Bmain were sold out of the tunning wrench i wanted so when I went to Hudy E-shop they wanted more money and $10 shipping for 2 wrenches. I now learned that even though Hudy lists items they arent necessarly in stock which will result in a back order just the same at TH's store. Well its not been a week for me yet and I wait for his email response to my order status to determine what to do. I would hate to file a PP claim but I wont tie up my money for several weeks if a back order wasnt posted on his site and I knowingly agreed to purchase on those terms. Its not very fair to the buyer to have to sit in the dark and wonder when they are getting their order. Atleast I was smart enough to make a small order with a new place despite the fact I could have saved $60 buying from him vs Amain on my last $1k+ purchase. I sort of wanted to test the waters with a new store and so far am scratching my head on what to do next. So are those any better then drilling out the 2 hole pistons? I just bought the bit set to do this but is there any way to do it wrong or anything I should pay closer attention to? |
