damper oil

[lime]

hey guys.

What weight oil do i use when i just want to use my shocks as dampers.

I am using losi white springs setup as a coil springs with the shock independent.

i am asking because i searched and found some indecisive answers.

some say 10 wt ( which i think is wrong) and some say 100wt.

any help would be greatly appreciated.

I personally think it's the 100wt because 10wt makes no sense in this sort of application.

Edit: I forgot to add i am using tlt shocks.

I run 80wt in most RCRC applications, including my coil set C-10 scaler and it seems to do pretty well.
