Default Shock 101?

Ok i have searched and searched but can't find whai am really looking for! Pretty much stock RTR wraith with battery moved up front and level3 droop kit! Stock shocks wont hold the front up compresses them till the frame is hitting the servo!


I have some shocks off a Redcat rs10 or some off a OFNA nitro buggy but two of them are 1/2" longer then stock! My question is what wt oil is a good starting range for more scale crawling then rock racing?? Want to get it some what capable at crawling till i can order new shocks?? Any help would be gladly appreciated!

I run the stock kit shock setup (with aluminum body and cap upgrade)....soft purple springs and 30 weight oil and I have no troubles. How much extra sprung weight have you added to the front end?

only extra sprung weight up front would be the Venom 2s 5000 Mah battery! Thanks for the advice wasnt really sure where to start with the different weight oils 10wt-100wt is a big gap to choose from!
