| New to me Wraith
Hey y'all, I did some trading around the other day with a Craigslister and now find myself the proud owner of a slightly used Wraith. Needless to say, the guy I got it from should be forever banned from owning rc vehicles in the future and I feel bad for my little Honcho that I traded to it. With that said, it did have a couple nice upgrades such as all steel gears in the trans and a castle sidewinder 3 system installed (wired wrong of course). My biggest concern for the truck were the shocks. Oil had leaked all over the axles and the suspension would compress and then stay that way. I have a couple different shock options, some plastic bodied piggy back shocks(meh) or some gmade 103's. I don't really have the extra coin to drop on new ones at the moment so these are my only real options. Also, what would be a good weight shock oil to start with? Thanks in advance.

I personally use the gmade piggyback shocks on my wraith and they work amazing. Where I live we have a lot of rocks and they give me enough ride height for me to clear some obstacles my friend with his wraith can't. I also use 35 wt oil for my shocks for the fact that I'm not going super fast and the shocks don't need to move very quickly.
