    Shock oil weight

    Like the suspension is not moving fast enough to absorb and rebound the smaller, repeated hits. Therefore the truck isn't as controllable as I'd like at the speed I'd like. If this track was the blue groove type, where all you need to worry about is jumps and smooth corners. It would be fine...

    Shock oil weight

    So new shocks. The AE MT10 aluminum. They seem quality. Oil I put in was 30 wt front 35 rear. IDK. Seems like I could go less. Still a bit stiff feeling. I would like to try other weight springs as well. But I can't seem to find any. (I know, I'm a nerd) And today I broke the other A arm. But...

    Shock oil weight

    OK Yeah. I bought both stock and RPM, just in case I go mach stupid again. The RPM's needed a bit of filing to get to fit, so not impressed, but at least the truck is up and running again. We'll see if I can get them to pretzel. Sounds like a challenge :)

    Shock oil weight

    That is good stuff! You have definitely done a ton of work! I have looked into and will continue to look into all this info. Unfortunately, I am now a part of the "broken front A arm club". Super embarrassed to admit. Was bending over to pick up something and accidentally pinned the throttle...

    Shock oil weight

    Thanks for the info guys! My racer is a Team Associated Pro4SC10. It's nice. I like it, just want to tune it more. It is RTR, I'd prefer to buy a kit, but who has time for that? :) I think I'm going to go down to 30wt. See what happens. I did indulge myself in the Losi "truck sale" and got a...

    Shock oil weight

    Yeah, experimenting is the key (that's what she said too :D) I feel like 40wt in a stock vehicle is a bit much. But what do I know? Just wondering what other peeps have done and run. Back in the day, it was a proper dirt track, loose over hard pack, indoor, not blue groove or carpet. 40wt was...

    Shock oil weight

    Yeah, good points all around. So if I feel like my vehicle bounces too much on the track (I'm trying to race) what would you say to try, in order to get more traction, gain stability, not crash? Not trying to huck the crap out of a huge triple jump, that's easy. I'm talking about smallish...

    Shock oil weight

    Interesting. I'm a suspension kind of guy. Probably most of you too. My question here is, do you think the RTR vehicles have too heavy of weight oil installed? why may I ask? Well, i've been out of the R/C game for a while, but doing plenty of other things that require suspension. Which...
