Shock oil and heavy weight grease still a thing?

[slw2206]

When I used to race 30 years ago we'd tune our nitros with varying weight oils in the shocks front and rear; as well as heavy weight greases in the diffs to limit spin.

Does anyone still do this anymore? Not that I want to have 10 different weights of oil and grease in my toolbox, but honestly I'm not even sure what weight oil/grease is in my XRT.

Might need to experiment...

Yeah, that part hasn't really changed.

Yep
Still the same

Yep! i still tune shocks and play with different weights a lot! usually run a heavier rear since most of my cars are rwd.

On the 25th, and 29th page of your XRT manual you'll find the answer to your question, and where to start with your tuning adventures

My XRT came with a manual? Ha, real men don't need manuals!

Manuals? Where we're going, we don't need manuals
