| Shock oil?
Ordering some proline slash rear shocks for my wraith and I need some shock oil but I don't know what weight to get? My rig is used mostly for crawling. Any help would be great, thanks

I run 35 wieght with very soft springs in my wraith and it keeps the wheels on the ground nicely with a nice rebound to them

I just put 10wt in my shocks a few days ago. Figured I'd go real soft! Havent had the chance to take it out yet. I strictly crawl

25wt should be good. You can mess with springs to see what will work with the oil and what feels good to you.
