I need to get a spacer for under the servo, its touching the chassis and sitting proud above the radio tray lol Ive had to use both braces on the steering servo for now until I can get a carbon spacer from CCR

Unfortunately one of the shocks has started to leak, I’m going to change the shock oil all round while I’m at it.

What weight would you guys recommend? I’ve seen people suggest 50wt for the rear and 70wt for the front, thicker at the front because it can be a be springy when all the weights at the back?

Do 50 all around ??

Cheers mate, I’ve just had a close look round and all of them are weeping a little, seems like a common problem on these IRC shocks from what I’ve been told on Facebook ?

Most all shocks weep a little, especially as time goes on and they wear. None of mine though leak or drip.

Another quick question, this throttle servo brace, would you say the servo should be underneath this or on top? The servo is on top at the moment but the brake rods are angled down and binding a little because the servo is much higher than stock Not sure if that's just how they are or its been fitted the wrong way around

 

[DougStar]

i don't have that brace ? but id say servo under like mine?

I did think that as its actually clamping the servo then, ill try it that way around & see what happens
