piston slap on Esc cos
With piston slap can you just change the pistons with new ones and the sound goes away or do you actually have to re build the bottom end?

You shouldn't get piston slap with 4x4 pistons, unlike the 2wd pistons they have an offset gudgeon pin so unless someone has put 2wd pistons in your motor, it is something else you can hear
