ABOUT MIP's NEW HI-FLOW Pistons. ..
Since its inception, the Bypass1 piston technology has been proven time and time again to be a winner. Racers like Adam Drake and Ryan Maifield have used their pistons at some of the largest racing events such as 1/8th scale IFMAR Worlds and Dirt Nitro Challenge and have personally seen for themselves the benefits of Bypass1. What is that benefit? Wins of course!
They listened to the racers, gathered all their feedback and went straight back to work on designing an even better Bypass1 Piston (6-Hole) for the most popular 1/8th scale line of vehicles.
Each kit comes with all the necessary hardware to be a direct fit for the following 1/8th scale vehicle brands:
- Mugen
- TLR
- Associated
- Tekno
- Hot Bodies
These Hi-Flow pistons are similar to their current pistons with one notable difference; they have a decreased outer diameter. These Hi-Flow pistons allow for more blow-by at slow shaft speeds which allow the vehicle to move more freely, allowing for even more control on the race track.
Your car will jump better, land better and recover through bumps much quicker. The results? Better car performance, decrease in lap times and most important, wins!
And if you have the current Bypass1 Pistons, you can run those pistons with these pistons for even more customization! For example you can run our current Bypass1 Pistons in your rear shocks and run the Hi-Flow in the front shocks or really however you want!
The Hi-Flow Package also comes with MIP Color-Coded Valves that will allow you to tune your cars shocks to your liking, optimizing your cars performance even more! Each Valve when paired with Hi-Flow pistons will control how quickly or slowly shock fluid passes through each piston affecting the cars overall rebound performance allowing you to tune the car to the track you are running giving you an even greater edge over the competition.
