Wraith Shock Questions!

[s102000]

Does any one know how soft the springs are and what wait oil is in the shocks?

[jeepster73]

Super Softs....2.07 lbs....no idea on the oil weight though

[Matt.k]

Oil is 30wt. silicone oil

[s102000]

ok thanks guys

What do u guys think would be a good weight, i find my truck a little srpingy out the box, also one shock has sag due to low oil from factory... no leakage tho. Think 50 is alright

The suspension is a little stiff from the factory. Switch to a softer spring and then thicken up the oil a little. I am running 45 wt.

Wow...I was going to go with 80wt and Losi gold springs and 3 hole pistons

[jeepster73]

Well that might be o.k since

Axial super soft = 2.07 lbs.
Losi gold spring = 1.4 lbs.


Losi's are almost twice as soft right?

so 80w oil instead of 30-45w is also almost half!!

Am i smarter than a 5th grader?

not to thread jack but what about swapping to SCX10 shocks? other than lowering the stance, would it have any major complications?

I have them on mine right now. The smaller diameter doesn't give much dampening. I do not suggest them if you plan on any speed running.

I'm using the Pro-line Slash rear shocks. They look kinda scale and they're a 3 1/2" long shock.

Slash rear shocks are 4" or a little longer depending on the rod end used, Slash front shocks are 3.5" or a little longer, again depending on the rod end used. My guess is that you have the fronts though? Axial lists the Wraith shocks at 72-103mm with different rod ends, so I guess the fronts or the rears would work, fronts probably a little better?

Sorry didn't read

I will go back to my cave.

I've got the scx shocks on mine now.
The ride height is spot on, but I have yet to take it out and beat on it yet.

Mine isn't really setup for speed though.
Just a 35t v11 on 3s.

I have the rear slash shocks on, stock there shorter they had fuel hose on the inside so I pulled them out and now there a tad longer than the stock shocks. I'm going to try 30wt and see how it gos. I am also running the blue springs top and bottom.
