Default RS machine 84/84.5mm pistons discontinued?

hey was just wondering if anyone knew if they were discontinued or something was wrong with them?

I noticed they are no longer available on race axis's/rsmachines website anymore?

I just went to pick up some the other day and noticed the same. I am not sure where they had these manufactured, but if it is Taiwan or something it would explain why there is none.

oh you think it could be a supplier issue? that's a possibility as well.
I have my set already i just wanted to look at the spec's again and noticed it's no longer on their website. Was just wondering what happened?

i just put a phone call in to RS machines and they told me that they sold the website and that the information is false, they are and still plan to manufacture the type R - spec pistons from 81mm - 85mm. He told me to just put an order in and they have them.

These are such a great piston for the budget builder and make very good power in the right engine combo,Its good to hear they still are making them I was about to order a few more sets of 84.5mm ones.
