Hmm. If I had to guess I'd say mine is much more floppier than yours, and IIRC I'm running 30wt.

This sporty is pretty sick Ashton The body looks sick, and the rig looks very smooth on the rocks, Nice work.

SCX scaler shocks don't use the traditional type of piston so 50wt in them feels more like 30wt to me. The last pic in your build thread shows that you are running a Losi shock so that's why we could be getting different performance with the same oil.

Ok enough guessing games, Im going to PM the guy who I bought them from and ask him.

Thanks buddy. That's my little girl, Zoe. I've had her for almost a year now... she was a great addition to my home and a great friend for my other male pit, Oliver. If she had her way my tires would be in pieces and the truck would be chewed up, but she's a great listener and she knows that I won't allow it. She always tests me at first, though.. the little fart.

Nice video the rig is impressive, I however did detect a loose nut behind the wheel.

Thanks, Norm!
It's possible... What makes you say that? Can you point out a time mark in the video where it looks like that? If it was loose then it is loose now because I haven't touched the truck since I filmed the video.

[ROLANDROCKSHOP]

i think your the loose nut..

Thanks man, I'm good on the second motor. Driving my mrc was very gratifying, and driving this is even better. I am stuck!

I was gonna say you aren't allowed to use esoteric shit for your soundtrack, but I certainly jammed the whole way through those spacey chords! That thing tracks so damn well on those off camber and my rear wheel is in a hole climbs. Awesome!

It took me 3 hours to find the right song! I typically just play songs to my edited video until I find the right one that works the best with the transitions. This one worked out awesome in the end. Thanks for the comments.

look forward to seeing this thing rectify some programs this weekend.

confirmed 30WT

usually I would start fresh with new oil, but I had no idea where to start with these shocks on a shafty.
