My Losi 8ight squats to much in the rear for me from a dead start.. I was thinking a thicker shock oil? Or what ... any tips?:bandit
 
I dont think thicker oil would solve the problem... That would just slow down the movement of the a-arm. I would add preload or shock spaces that is unless you have threaded shocks. Then you would just adjust the little color like you would tighten a nut. Also going to a bigger spring I think would solve the problem.
 
You bump oils or you can add some pre-load. Pre-load is quicker obviously. What are you running now, front and rear?
 
I wouldn't go with a stiffer spring. If you go with a stiffer spring then you will prob have to change oils.
