shock oil weights
- Thread starter drawls88

The Comp Crawler is supposed to come stock with #56 shock valves and 30wt oil.
Mine had #57's in it from the factory...or they were black like the #57's anyway.
I replaced mine with a new set of #57 valves and 40wt oil.
It slows the reaction time down quite a bit, and provides better control (I think)
I am running white (1.8) springs on the front in the #1 hole and yellow (2.0) springs on the rear in hole #3. I also put about a 1/2 inch of fuel tube at the bottom of the shock because the battery and ESC trays hit the driveshaft before the shocks bottom out. This way it hits the fuel tube before it hits the trays and the fuel tube is soft and provides a little give...kinda like a bump stop.
Upper links in the middle hole, but might go back to the top hole.
8oz in each front wheel and 3oz in the rear.
It climbs about anything it can get a grip on up to about 70 degrees of incline.

4owt in mine and it works good. i thought i had #57 pistons in mine also since they were black but rich said the maker didnt use red so the stock ones that are black are really #56. so i drilled mine out to #57 works better
