Currently I have 30wt and it seems too much.
15wt is what I was guessing to work better for the SCX10. I'm gonna give that a shot. If you were going to change, would you go lighter or heavier?

If anything I would maybe go a little lighter, kinda depends on the weight of your rig though.

I'm running 3s 2200mah lipos which are the same used on my trex450 heli. So I would say my rig is on the lighter side except for the tamiya hilux body, which I sometimes even use the stock dingo body... Should I go lighter?

I'd start with 15wt and see how it works!
