Default shock oil

just got a new set of proline power strokes for my scx10(2 sets of rear shocks off of a slash 4x4). i know in the world of full size rigs/ any thing that races, should i be worried about what oil i put in these for heat. i know in the full size stuff heat can really hurt the shocks

No heat will not be an issue with any rc shock. Just find the oil weight that works best for your setup.

17wt seems to be working real good, i also got the spring tuning kit and using the softest on the bottom of the shock and have a lil stiffer up top. the rig is on the hefty side but it takes full flex to get it to lift a tire
