What Shock Oil To Use?

[bcooper]

I Was Wondering What Are The Most Popular Silicone Shock Weights Prefered. The Crawler Store Only Shows 100 Weight.

I run the lightest weight with the softest springs, I like the squishy feel of the suspension, makes me feel like I have more control.

some people run thicker oil in one shock to help control torque twist

I'm Gonna Be Running The Integy Msr4's That Come With Blue Springs, Don't Know The Tension Of The Springs Yet. How Would 45 Weight Work?

Honestly, thats one of those things you have to try for yourself.

I'll be mounting those same shocks in place of my traxxas shocks to see how they work. I'll test the same oil too.

I'm just getting into things here myself but I'd think that a softer feel would allow the suspension to flex without disturbing the other side of the vehicle. in my 1:1 I want the stuff to flex as much as it can without messing with the other side

dont want to hi-jak this post, but are the grey 3.3 ultra shocks that same as the t-maxx shocks u all are using?

Soft is good, light oil can be bad. If the oil is too light and the spring too heavy you will get a lot of bouncing around.

the blue springs are really hard

try some losi yellows or like me pink!

gotta experiment on the shock oil weight to see which on suits your driving.

I put 60wt in my set of Integy's, then I switched to 80wt I think because of the torque twist.
