Thank You For All Those Help.

It depends if the shocks are aluminum or not as to how heavy of oil you can put in. If they are aluminum, get some stiffer springs and up the oil to 40.
 
What kind of ST are we talking about too......

Between Losi and AE, there are some public setup sheets for both that tell you exactly how to setup the ride for whatever condition you are trying to accomplish.

For me, I run a Drake so I run 35Wt up front and 40Wt in the rear, with Red pistons up front and Naturals that have been drilled to 56 in the rear. That setup has been great for me!

its an evader with no set up sheets available. anyway the shocks are aluminum and i asume the evaders use a softer spring.

Thanks.
