Traxxas 1/16 E-Revo VXL Question

[F.R.S. Ninja_007]

I have a Merv and I just got some new shock bodies. I want to fill them with harder shock oil but I’m not sure which thickness to use. I know a lot of people use 90wt, but I think that’s probably to thick for me as I drive off road and I don’t really jump much. I’m thinking 50-60wt.

Depends on what you want to do. I run 50wt in my slash an rustler both front and rear. And what I do with the cars, its good. Might need thicker fluid in the rear since all of the weight is in the rear and so it doesn't sag on the ground. Might even leave it at 50 and do lighter in the front.
This is what I say about gearing too. With gearing, shock and diff oils, it's really your own experiment and which is best for your environment, your uses ect.
