So I'm going to probably take apart my shocks and rear diff and put new oil in all of them in the next few weeks . Approximent how much oil do the shocks hold . Looks like DDM sells the oil in 60cc bottles or 100 cc bottles . They are presently out of the 100cc bottles.
Looking at the HPI manual if your building the buggy I'm guessing they came with a bottle of 40wt and 5wt 100cc ea. so around 50cc's per shock?
As for the diff that would only be 1 bottle that I need.
 
Hpi shox oil is petroleum based unlike most other oils(y)...so I've read(y)....and 60 will do 2x rears(y)
u cant use other oil if u've had tbe hpi stuff in ur shoxs as it dose sumin to the seals(y)......so i went with new seals when i changed shox oil(y)
Darksoul seals r the best..(y).and use the AE green slime before u fit them(y)

Now you've got me a bit worried . Should I make the assumption that Rovan went with the same oils as HPI since my buggy is a Rovan technically and most of the parts are interchangeable .
