I bought some 55wt shock oil tonight. I changed the oil in the front shocks tonight. I got it all back together and when pushing the front of the truck down it feels pretty much the same as it did before with the stock oil in there. Is this right?
I'm running a Lst1, with standard shocks and oil, with yellow springs. What grade / spec of oil works best. I use the truck for bashing not racing. Look forward to hereing you thoughts.
Hey guys. I'm just testing the field to see what would be a better setup for a basher like me. I'm running an aftershock with LST2 shocks, RPM arms, titanium main chassis and an aluminum 1/2 full under chassis skid for strength to tie the front to the center.
I've been running yellow springs...

Hey guys, Newbie here. Please could someone advise me on what set-up to go for to upgrade/stiffen the suspension on my 3.3 - tougher springs front and back, and the corresponding heavier weight shock oil. I'm on Standard white and green springs, can I go gold and black, and do I have to...
I recently purchased my MT2 and immediately after break in, I was trying to get as much air as possible. Whats the best weight oils for jumping? can i mix oil weights in the shocks?
Could anyone advise why my car comes with #400, #1000, and #2000 Shock Silicon and #10000, #30000, #50000, #70000, #100000 and #200000 Diff Silicon Oil, and every one seems to recommend #30 -> #60 Shock Silicon Oil and #1000 -> #10000 Diff Silicon Oil ?:)
I am currently running #400 Silcon Oil...
I have no idea what the stock weight of the oil is. What weight should I use? What is the advantage of thicker oil rather than the thiner ones? I know thicker oil makes the shocks stiffer but what will this do to the handling?
Hey guys, in my rs4 when I gun it my front wheels have next to 0 traction for tuning and speed, If i put some softer shock oil in the front shocks will this help keep the tires a little more solidly planted?
Just wanted to ask before i mess somthing up haha.
Thanks
